It's time for another comic review, and as always these comic review open with a bit of a retrospective on the state of the fandom at the time.

With 2018 dawning and information about Season 8 spiraling out of control from the leaks, the fandom faced a great deal of controversy and conflict over the planned direction for the new season. Meanwhile the IDW comics continued to putter along, the main series bouncing from issue to issue with no clear direction or any sembelence of quality. So it was up to the Legends of Magic series to keep the comics going, even as they were starting to wind down. Was this issue able to keep the narrative

It really wasn't that great in my opinion, I have to give it a 6 out of 10, I'm old fashion I miss the dice that the original had, but I did rather like jack black's role in the new one, he did surprisingly well. the old jumanji still has a 10 out of 10 from me.

As information about Season 9 finally bubbled to the surface, the comics faced another dilemma as their planned seventy-fifth issue was delayed until March. So Nightmare Knights got the opportunity its predecessors had been denied, a chance to hold the spotlight solely on its own for its final issue. Was it able to go out on a high note, or did it only show in the end that IDW made the right call by ending it at five issues? Well, let's find out.

It's weird talking about a time when the main series of IDW comics was universally loved, for good reason, considering that as of lately it has been in a state of decline that seems impossible to recover from. And the "Friends Forever" series has largely bounced all over the place in regards to quality. But back in mid 2013, during the hiatus between Seasons 3 and 4, when all the fandom had to tie itself over was the first "Equestria Girls" movies, many people were flocking to

As the fandom settled in for another hiatus after the end of Season 7, the comics were once again left to fill the void. However, this hiatus would be a little different. Due to leaks, some episodes of Season 8 were released online with fully recorded audio but no background music, so already details about Season 8 began to seep out (including things that were meant to be kept hidden, like Spike's wings). Undettered, the comics continued along as if nothing had happened. Legends of Magic was

So it was that the comics would keep chugging along, and the visit to Zecora's homeland would be the first four parter the comics had provided since the ill fated Cosmos arc in 2019 (which was itself noted for being the first real multi parter since the infamous Accord arc of late 2016/early 2017). Information about what else was in store for "Season 10" was slowly seeping out, including the fact that one of the big arcs (the Diamond Dogs one with Rarity) was going to be confined to an annual.

March 2015 was an unusual month for the IDW comics, which were starting to slide downhill very fast. Due to a shipping problem, Friends Forever #14 and Main Series #28 (both of which were massive disappointments) did not release in Feburary, and were instead pushed back to March. Fortunately (or maybe I should say unfortunately), IDW did not let this set back delay their schedule, and Friends Forever #15 and Main Series #29 still released as originally planned.

I'ma just use the current date. Makes it easier on me.

Why don't phone manufacturers include radio apps on their phones anymore? My old phone, an HTC Inspire 4G/Desire HD, comes with a built-in FM radio app, and it was made back when Android 2.3 was the latest and greatest. Even now, I still have yet to see another phone with an FM radio app preinstalled.

Every day I cringe a little more as I think about where humanity's headed with what's currently going on in this world.

I already talked a lot about the state of the comics prior to this issue when I reviewed Main Series #22, so I'll just sum it up briefly to avoid repeating myself. Now that "Reflections" had ended, there was concern amongst the fans that the comics may dip in quality upon their return to two part slice of life tales. Deciding to borrow some inspiration from one of their Friends Forever comics that featured Trixie, IDW had a two part mystery story focused on her. Did it work as

While I was reviewing the past seasons before season 6 started I said I was going to review this particular episode. The time has come. I know I'm going to receive a lot of hate considering the amount of love this episode has but in every family there's a madman.

With the show's sixth season having wrapped up alongside the newest Equestria Girls film "Legend of Everfree" in November, the comics were in a bit of a slump. The main series had the "Ponies of Dark Water" saga that started off promising, but with only three issues ended up horribly rushed by the end, and then a two parter dedicated to parodying Trump v.s. Hillary that ended with the wrong political prediction (it predicted a Hillary victory like just about every major media and

Turns out I had one more comic being shipped besides the two that just shipped yesterday, so it's time for one more review and then we'll likely have to wait a while for the remaining comics to arrive.

No new episodes from Seasons 1-5 made the cut here compared to the second version, which can be found here. So instead, we're just going to look at the episodes of Season 6 that failed, and then compare them to the totals from Seasons 1-5 and find out how many episodes of the show have been a let down so far. Remember, this list is not official by any means.

I probably could've done this as early as the end of Season 5, or even the mid season hiatus in Season 6, but I decided to wait and see what would change in Season 6 and hopefully get a couple of new episodes to talk about. And now that we've got almost 150 episodes, I figure there's more than enough to do a list of my picks for the Top Fifty BEST Episodes of the show over the course of six seasons!

Now that a full season has come and gone, it's time to see where our cast of main characters currently stands and what (if anything) can be done with them to maybe change their rankings next time. Here's the previous version, from during the month long hiatus between the first and second half of Season 6. Remember that this list isn't official so feel free to disagree. Now let's see who moved up, who

With the remaining 14 episodes of the season having come out, let's see how they compare to the episodes of other seasons and see if Season 6 takes away Season 5's title of "Best Season" and if so by how much? First, however, let's see how the episodes stack up, and remember this is by no means official.

Episode Rankings:
14. The Cart Before The Ponies
13. P.P.O.V (Pony Point Of View)
12. Where The Apple Lies

High people, again! Don't worry, last blog of the day... probably. (May put something fun out there later, don't know.)

So, if you are reading this, it's probably because you found it in your hearts to watch me. Well, thank you for that. With that said, I need to kick start myself back in gear, but I really don't know what to do. I'm working on a secret project that should be released in the next month or two, but in addition to that, I want to put out something fun.

Rather than stretch out the arc for 4 parts like they did with the previous story lines, IDW decided Big Macintosh's story would be told across two issues. So, were they able to capitalize on the success of the previous issue, or somehow sink the story all together?

Well, let's find out.

With half a season over, let's re-evaluate the mane eight and see where they stand. As well as see if there's anything that could maybe change their positions for next time. Here's the third version, from just after Season 6 had finished. Like all my lists, this one is not official by any means, so feel free to disagree just so long as you respect my opinion. Now, let's see who moved up, moved down, and stayed the
