We move to the back half of this wave of G5 content, which in this case means the comics. With the Discord arc concluded, let’s see if that ends up having any bearing on future issues.

Hello, fillies and gentlecolts, this is Thrill O’Victory for ZBS Sports, and this week we have what is surely one of the athletic competitions of all time. We now go to the opening ceremonies.

We come the penultimate Moonstuck card blog… not counting the epilogue. If it’s after the end of the main story, does that make it postultimate?

In any case, let’s go see what Woona’s been up to.

My copy of Lyra and Bonbon and the Mares from S.M.I.L.E. has yet to arrive. I can only assume that Princess Twilight is still processing the Freedom of Information request. As the gears of Equestrian bureaucracy (and the USPS) turn, I’ll move up what would have been next week’s card blog.

Slightly awkward timing. This would go up on the week of Halloween if it weren’t for that two-parter. Let’s see if there’s anything intentionally terrifying to be had here.

Survey says this isn't Richard Dawson's sort of family feud. Yellowquiet and Purplesmart have their work cut out for them.

I’ve been consistently unimpressed by G. M. Berrow’s vapid characterization of Rarity in earlier novels. Let’s see if the situation improves when Clothes Horse has the starring role.

Dragons! Adventure! Dragons having adventures! And a Spike episode that almost everyone enjoyed. Truly, this a time of wonders.

This week, we have one of those awkward one-shot comics sitting between two multi-issue storylines, made all the more awkward by a marked absence of other comics to pair it with. As such, we’re drawing from one of the shorter stories folks have volunteered for cardification as well.

Happy Valentine’s Day! I’d love to discuss the IDW Cheesepie story, but the second half isn’t out yet. As such, we turn to a far more twisted form of love…

This week we have the grand return
Of one whose presence long I’ve yearned.
Zecora’s here to speak in rhyme
Though Rarity’s the star this time.

So. When last we left Equestria, Thorax went from psychological aberration to glorious faerie moose, lord of the Crayola bughorses. Starlight Glimmer… Well, let’s be frank, she’s still a work in progress. Still, she found the confidence to lead her personal Suicide Squad on a combination coup/rescue mission, saving the main characters, the local pantheon of surprisingly kidnappable demigods, and Shining Armor.

This week, we return to d20 Pony, the ongoing adventures and explorations of Trailblazer. (It’s also my birthday, but that has little bearing on the cards. )

This week, it’s time to look back a bit and consider the third in the noble line of Imposing Sovereigns.

Well, this is a bit sad. These issues could well be the very last pieces of official G4 pony media. There’s always the possibility of a third round on MLP/Transformers or the like, but this is the last bit on the horizon. Let’s see how well it works as a capstone.

And so we begin anew, with perhaps the greatest, most insidious evil the Mane Six have ever confronted: Educational bureaucracy.

I’m not being sarcastic. I could tell you stories there.

Back in the saddle, and just in time to get out, get a sleeping bag, and have some snacks.

This is a blog I've been meaning to write for quite some time, as you may have gathered from the story tag. It's an explanation for my choices when associating the Elements of Harmony with the colors of card game magic. If you have no interest in me connecting Equestrian thaumology and Magic color philosophy (or how my thought process generally runs when planning a crossover,) then I'll see you next week. Everyone else, read on as I plumb new depths of nerdery.

Bringing this up now since I'll be heading out tomorrow morning, but the next card blog will be delayed.

You see, I'm going to go play cards in Vegas this weekend.

Thanks to the side issues, there’s actually quite a few pony comics for me to review in the coming weeks. Let’s start attacking that in-box.
