Friendship is Card Games: Micro-Series and Friends Forever #9 · 12:39pm Jan 15th, 2017
This week, the spotlight’s pointed at some secondary characters, with new creations and old grudges on display. Sounds like fun to me.

Happy New Year! Let’s start it right. And by “right,” I of course mean “with trading cards.”
One could argue that I should be doing something from the main comics, but I feel the holiday special counts. Besides, this lets me delay some of the more egregiously stupid storylines for another week, which is definitely a win in my book. So, let’s take a look at two stories of friendships in trying times.
It’s all about pride this week, from Applejack defending the sanctity of her orchard to two of the show’s biggest egos colliding and collaborating. Let’s see if these issues have anything to be proud of.
My apologies for the delay, everyone. Still, better late than never, and if I haven’t missed a Sunday for more than three years, I’m not starting now. Let’s get to it.
(Incidentally, I semi-seriously considered streaming this. Would anyone actually want to watch me read comics and cogitate? I can't guarantee it'd be all that interesting, but I'm not the best at gauging popular appeal.)
Welcome to the sixth interseasonal hiatus, ladies and gentlemen. For those of you joining me since the second half of Season 6, I’ve long since run through the backlog of past pony episodes (easily findable through the archive here,) so I’m making my way through the comics. This week, it’s side comics, with Rainbow Dash’s micro-series issue and the CMC/Discord team-up. Let’s take a look.
We’re sticking with the side stories for a bit to bring things to some semblance of parity. As such, this week, we have Rarity on a commune and a team-up between two of the most important people in Twilight Sparkle’s life.
Two more weeks of side comics before we cut back to the main storyline. Right now, we have an art competition and a haunting to look into.
Hello, all. I'm deviating from the main series this week to at least start the other comic lines; the first issues of both the single-character-focused micro-series and the two-character-focused Friends Forever line. Let's see where this takes us.
This week, ponies young and old have lessons to learn, delivered by some very unusual teachers.
Between hearing things and Pinkie Pie, this week’s theme appears to be insanity. Let’s see how nuts it gets.
And now we've gotten more to dissect. I just said on Friday how this was the last analyzis for a while and now there's already new stuff!
The synopsis for Episode 10 has been released and, wow, it sounds exciting! I'll talk about it after the break (hopefully, because I have no idea if these lines are enough):
