Wow, I'm amazed that you re-listed some of your MLP content, it's been forever since I've seen any of these. I took a long break from watching your channel (and anime in general) a few years ago, and don't know too much about what you've been doing lately (just found out you took down a bunch of your videos, like, 10 minutes ago.) Either way, I'm glad to see you've been growing into a happier person lately (as far as I can tell). Good luck with everything you are aiming to do, Beatrice!!!
Honestly, Digi, I hope that the comics are NOT canon. The existence of the Nightmare forces as a Venom-esque outside force that takes control of a pony and makes them an evil version of themselves with no control of their own actions, then the arc of Luna's fall, Redemption, and Subsequent Character growth are made Narratively pointless. I prefer to think that the pent up anger and rage in Luna's heart built up and interacted with her magic, causing the unstable power that Luna had been building up to erupt and form Nightmare Moon, which- even after being purified by the Elements of harmony- still exists within Princess Luna, but is now balanced by the love and friendship that the ponies demonstrated for her.
I was hoping for either Digibrony or Bronycurious to make a video on this. But it looks as if they do not even see the problem. The second arc gave us Nightmare Moon without Luna and Luna without Nightmare Moon, i.e. a sub-Chrysalis and a sub-Cadance. If that happened in the show, it would ruin the character for me.
***** Indeed. That is my thought exactly. In my view Nightmare Moon is simply the Darker side of Luna's personality given form by her magic and then allowed to overwhelm her. The Power of the Elements essentially countered the magic, by showing Luna what friendship was. This allowed her own nature to reassert itself, but that darkness, that pain is still there, it is a part of her, and it always will be. It just is not in control anymore. Of course, one part of the main series comics Non-cannon means making the entire thing Non-cannon, and honestly, I am okay with that. It makes it so that events similar, though not exactly the same as the Chrysalis saga to happen in the Show, since Twilight in the comics does seem to lack wings.
Skye Silverwing Back in S1, I think I was a lot more open to the common fanfic idea of "the Nightmare" as a separate entity able to jump hosts. NmM and "Woona" were so different from each other that it made sense. But then came Eclipsed, an episode that took the two previous designs and portrayals and merged them into a new coherent whole. It even ended with Luna accepting to be Nightmare Moon for the holiday. And it was glorious! There is no way I would let all that go so easily. In issues #5-6 of the main comic series, the way the nightmare forces were described made them look similar to the dark side in Star Wars. And I was completely okay with that. But then she talked and she explained how she had been defeated by the elements before but could no longer be now that she had taken over Rarity. They might as well have revealed that Anakin had been possessed by the ghost of an ancient Sith and that Vader was now in Lando's body. The worst part is that it might actually have been Lauren Faust's original concept. Now, regarding Twilight's wings, she will have them from issue #13 onward. The comics are catching up with the show.
Well, the Nightmare seems to feed off of its hosts insecurities and negative aspects of themselves i.e Luna's jealousy and Rarity's need to feel important. The Nightmare is everything you said, except the forces come from an external source, with Luna welcoming the Nightmare into her body so she wouldn't feel like the lesser sister. Does that make Luna possessed? Yes but willingly at first. The Nightmare did not force its way into Luna. She wanted it, and it came, and so Nightmare Moon was born
***** If you allow me, I would point out two problems with this argument: 1) We see the whole process at work on Rarity. All it takes is one moment of fear and confusion for the Nightmare to take full control. There is no real consent. 2) This is the same world in which another monster queen can use your love to feed on and control you.
Welp - that endorsement was basically all I need out of this video. Now to somehow buy dead-tree format MLP comics without outing myself as a Brony. Hmmm - can I mail order them from somewhere?
Amazon has full arcs in single books (I've got nightmarity, chrysalis, and the mane 6 micro so far) which are significantly cheaper than buying them issue by issue. Mail delivery also sends them in an unmarked box, so that's neat.
Hey, Buc! I want to hear your opinion on these comics. I definitely like hearing what you have to say about stuff and you certainly have different aspects that you focus on when you do reviews than other reviewers have done.
I only read up through the 4 arcs and Twilight's and Rainbow's. Though I wouldn't know of the artists so to speak, I did enjoy those comics much more than some of the show. They did a magnificent job on the main arcs of the story and found both humorous and edgy at the same time. Nothing ever really slowed down for me when reading them, adding just enough spice in each part to keep me interested and hooked.
I only discovered these after going to a comic shop and trying to figure out the prices for my old comics. Me and my little brother and sister where excited with these. I really didn't know that they where canon though, that's awesome.
I really did like the Celestia Micro Series the best. The art was awesome and it really appealed to my taste. Plus, the way Ink Rose did their voices, it was really awesome.
Aside from the fact that the stories and artwork are always perfect, one of my favorite parts about these comics is all the little things in the background. You can read the same comic four times and still discover something new each time you do. There are cameos everywhere, they pretty much canonized that Doctor Whooves is actually THE Doctor, if you pay close attention to the background in the latest arc you'll find out who wrote the Daring Do books, and there is a plethora of older gen ponies slipped in there for the fans who grew up on the old series. These comics really are a must-read for all MLP fans, and I'm really glad to see you read them as well, Digi.
Well after I read the *Nightmare* story arc(like several times because I liked it so much), I did a lot of thinking and came to a realization, the very thing that made Luna become Nightmare Moon in the first place, is actually very similar to how Spider-Man's Eddie Brock(or who ever depending on the incarnation) became Venom, these "Nightmare Forces" as they are called, are actually similar to the *Marvel Comics' Symbiotes*, but instead of being slime-like blobs, they're ghost-like clouds of smoke, like the Symbiotes they require hosts in order to be at their true power, and they are able to grant their hosts great powers, but at the cost of consuming both their minds & bodies, turning them into monsters that are only focused on their host's most negative emotions, and since they are creatures of *Dark Power* the Nightmare Forces are vulnerable to bright lights & the power of positive emotions(similar to how the Symbiotes are weak against intense heat & loud sounds), so their ultimate goal is to bring forth the eternal so that they could thrive in non-stop darkness, and similar to how the Venom Symbiote retained all of the memories of Peter Parker when it bonded with Eddie Brock, Nightmare Rarity retained the personality of Nightmare Moon even though it was no longer bonded to Luna, plus the ponies keep mentioning that the Nightmare Forces possess something called the "Nightmare Energy", which apparently is the name of the form of Magic they wield, which allows them to trap anyone in a coma & make them live their worst nightmares and/or most tempting dreams forever, over all after analyzing both the show's episodes & the comics' story arc issues, I realized that they do have a lot of similarities to the *Marvel Symbiotes* which may explain why I like that story arc so much, but hey that's just how *I* see it, so whatever.
I like how the Nightmare arc adds more depth to Rarity's character and has some good moments with Spike and his feelings for her. But all anyone talks about is Luna, despite having a far more predictable arc
As a US Marine and as a person with a brain, there is nothing more pleasant and refreshing than hearing someone use the word "behoove" correctly. While it might be a stretch in the context you used with respect to the traditional definition, you were at least grammatically correct, and that make me happy.
I was just going to skip reading the 2013 Annual, but your review has definitely changed my mind about giving it a chance. Thanks! The comics are genuinely awesome.
If you havn't read the EQG comic, go do it! I'll spoil my favorite pannel bay simply saying you get to see Sunset Shimmer reading the Necronimicon in Canterlot's forbiddin library. Considering cannon, that would mean my thoughts of mashing up MLP with Lovecraft has a little to work with.
Quick fact: the artist of the Pinkie Pie and CMC micro, Ben Bates, is also a penciller for the Sonic the Hedgehog comics. That probably helps explain the change in style, as that is what he is capable of.
I bought the Chrysalis-book in Germany when I was returning home to Finland... and I've been so excited about the comic while being devastated about my lack of understanding of German. It's a bizzare feeling.
thankyouthankyouthankyou Digibro for convincing me to give these camics a chance!...strange,i love MLP & the picto-glyphic narrative arts,but was afraid to pick 'em up until i heard your trusted,official hooves up...my sincere gratitude!
I found it funny how you completely disliked the Twilight mini since that one was one of my favorites. I understand where you're coming from, but I thoroughly enjoyed what I saw as a story of friendship gradually winning over someone who had closed their heart off to everyone.
Thanks for introducing me to the comics, I love the detail, in the image where Shining Armor is singing "Pretty Pink Mares" Vinyl is getting her cutie mark.
omg the Little Girls moment. when I read it I took it right to my partner who got it right away and we both fell apart laughing. ALSO PROPS TO THEM FOR DRESSING SHINY AS ADAM ANT!!!!!!!!
Personally I thought having a chance to see Twilight exploring the more Librarian side of her personality was very enjoyable myself. Not as well made as Rarity's of course but I don't know if I'd go so far as to call it skip-able. Though given the art style I could see you having more of that opinion Digi.
frederickthesquirrel I mean... they are only available digitally or ? That's what I meant. No place selling them near me, as far as I know. Next best thing I guess ?
Yenastuundepaspris55 They can be found on places like Ebay and there are a few online indie shops like CC comics that also sell the physical copies if you prefer holding the real thing in your hands. Me, I get most of mine ordered on Ebay the day they come out. This can be more expensive than getting the digital copies, of course, but it really depends on your preference as a collector/pony fan.
You know as a guy who is in the Fandom for over 2 years, and pretty much loved all things pony since day 1, i have a problem with these comics. I don't like Comics in general. I mean sure they're probably good and they might even be better then the show. But i never found any love for this type of media. I can't put my finger on why i never touched Comics, but i don't like reading them. BTW if you like these comics, go buy them. I think they put alot of afford into it. But i will probably never go into it and just keep watching the show.
I'm going to have to comeback after reading these and I trust your opinion, so I think I'm going to start reading these very soon. I've been tirelessly working on my own comic thing, so maybe I'll pick up something to add to my process, as well. Edutainment time.
A fair warning though, some people find the wtilight, rainbow dash, fluttershy and apple jack micro issues rather disapointing and those that hated the Equestria girls movies ussualy don't find the annual good either. All the rest are a a great read - sepecially everytihng by cook and price and the celestia and pinkie pie micro comics.
LostInNumbers I still haven't seem Equestria Girls. I was going to see it in a Hotel room with some others during BronyCon, but I passed out in my hostile, instead.
TheRealVastile Also be warned even the good ones such as Chrysalis and the sorts have some people that didn't enjoy it due to rehashes and the sorts (I don't want to spoil something but the mane 6 get the idiot ball and forget for some time they are fighting changelings). Along with that, the Chrysalis and Nightmare ones have some lore breakers and logic rippers that don't fit in the show and have some inconsitencies. They also will use internet jokes and memes that can be sometimes grating. Finally, the Twilight one isn't bad per say but kinda scraped by with an okay plot and is generally considered one of the worst in terms of art style. RD is disliked for caricature nature and contradicting important plot points. Fluttershy's seems to be generally considered the worst and AJ's isn't praised. Bar the EQG and the rest, the general consensus of the others seems positive if a bit critical of the flaws that exist (and whilst I enjoyed them they were a bit huh even to me)
hey digi, just a question since it is out now, what did you think of the luna micro? i personally thought it was friggin hilarious and expanded luna's role in Equestria, but I am curious as to what your opinions are.
My friend is all things pony, so when he told me about the comics I told him I'd "get around to it." I eventually did, and now I'm telling everyone that these comics exist and where to get them. They're well-written and canon so a worthy read. Most of them. I'm glad you're making this video because you're telling everyone "Hey, season 4 is soon. Read these!" and I totally agree that getting the word out about all these comics is great.
I really thought that Cook and Price were headed towards a retelling of "The ransom of Red Chief" were by the time the mane six got to Queen chrysalis's castle the CMC would have drove her crazy enough for her to beg Twilight and group to take them back.
Wide-ruled paper is for FOALS! Seriously though I'm glad you put this up, I've been praising the comics since the first issue and this might just be the push my friends need.
I wanna read the comics now! My favourite character is Rarity, so I'm happy to know that her micro-story is the best! And as a person who genuinely liked Equestria Girls, I'd like to see how this comics improves on it.
In the shining armor and cadence comics when shining sings for cadance you can see a young dj pon3 in the bottom right of the second page with a flash effect and her cutie mark on her flank. Shining armor embrassing himself gave one of the best background ponies her cutiemark. Well done
Thanks to your hidden description secrets, I literally just finished reading the first issue and then came back to finish the video, while avoiding the minefield. Let me tell everyone now: First of all, thoroughly look over that description. Secondly, the comics caught me on the first speech bubble. As I was reading, it became obvious that these comics were targeted at the brony community. Which lines up, as they seem to take place after the royal wedding. The humor and story telling, while still appropriate for a younger audience, are much more adult. It's obvious that these comics were written to appease an audience of teens and up. It reminded me of some of the Spider-Man comics I read when I was a kid. While there was nothing in them that should stop a kid from reading them, I was still able to enjoy them years later. And as a kid who has always gotten adult topics far ahead of his peers, I understood those aspects as well. So not only are these comics sedating my pony withdraw since the Legends of Equestria servers went down, but they're giving me an unexpected nostalgia trip. Even the art style is very much like the older comics I read, but with a comedic twist. Couple that with blatant fan service and humor that would only get people above fourteen laughing (and I'm being merciful with that), you've got yourself a fine example of comic books in general. Screw the fact that it's about MLP. Honestly nothing about these felt like they had the stigma attached to them like the show does. They're just solid comics, that you can only recognize as MLP thanks to the title and superb handling of the world and characters.
The latter, they're on issue 13 at the moment, with the arcs taking place during 1-4 (chrysalis) 5-8 (nightmare moon) 9-10 (big mac) 11-12 (shining and cadence)
I've just recently went through all the MLP comics and I couldn't agree more. Digi, could you please give your analysis on the Season 4 teaser? I noticed quite a few details, but I'm sure you could find more.
Out of all the MLP reviewers, I believe that you are the only one brave enough to actually tackle the comics. I have heard mixed reviews on them, but I actually enjoy reading them. You do a good job with this review and I look forward to more in the future.
The idea of using voices that sound like each other to break up friendships actully 1st came from a spongebob episode and where squidward uses special bubbles to do spongebob and Patricks voices and says mean things that eventully break up spongebob and Patricks friendship and I recommend to try and find a clip of the episode or try and find the episode and watch the whole thing
I own all 12 current issues of the the monthly series and I have to say when the story arc of cadence and shining was announced I was thrilled I cleared up the plot holes I saw In the beginning of the season 2 finale
Thanks Digi, I've ways wondered about the comics. Sadly comics are just not my thing and it seems like they don't expand the shows canon, or at least not in the way I'd be looking for. It be so great to have an official source of deep canon and backstory that deals with topics the show has brought up, but never really dealt with fully. However, I was pleased to read that the people behind the comics are fully behind Princess Twilight.
I've been dying to read the pony comics since I saw issue 2 at hottopic, but never had the money to buy them, but now I've decided to read them now, and buy them later when I have money.
I've read the first two volumes of the Series (Arc 1 and 2) and I have to agree with Digibrony on them being fracking awesome. I love them so far and I plan on purchasing the third volume and the Volume 2 micros once the entire thing becomes available on amazon.
I love the comics, heck the first one I bought was the hardback that combined all of arc 1, even got Andrea Libman to autograph it! The comic is a worthwhile investment. With art and humor that I kind of enjoyed a bit more the then the show, also it has more Luna and you can't go wrong with that.
Oh, I want to read the comics, I just don't know of any comic shops anywhere near where I live. Several grocery stores and Walmart sell comics, but not MLP, so I have to wait for Amazon to get the TPBs, which I prefer as they're easier to keep track of, and buy them. I have the first volume and love it.
Well, I'm certainly enjoying the comics so far. I've been following them dutifully since issue three or so and it has made the wait for season 4 far more bearable. The main arcs are, of course, fantastic, and while I do find the micro series much more hit and miss, I find it hard to call any of them outright terrible, just kinda... meh on the low end of the scale. But when the micros end, I will be VERY interested to see how the new 'friends forever' line takes over, since those comics will be focusing on pairing up specific characters for a story, rather than focusing on a single pony. I have the annual ordered, but it hasn't come yet, and as someone who also enjoyed EQG (though I am fully aware of its flaws) I am very interested to see some more background with Sunset and the Humane five. Excellent work as always, Digi, can't wait to see some of the content that will be coming out with Season 4.
I'm of two minds about the comics, myself. I can't deny that they're objectively very good, and I liked both of the Micros that I managed to get a look at, but... The arc stories rub me the wrong way. Much like Flutterhulk, it just doesn't do anything for me, though I'm at a loss to explain WHY I didn't like it. That in turn is rather frustrating...
Wait, there's actually a school that exist in the Equestria? That actually surprised me the most. Well, I wasn't exactly paying attention at the time, but is it the same Magic school that Twilight originally tried to get into in the Cutie Mark Chronicles?
With the nearest store I could buy the comics in being MANY miles away from me, lacking gear to read it without everything being blurry and lacking the money to buy them, there is no large surprise that I have not read them. I get a little frustrated about it.
I have the first two comics (Kindle versions) on my Christmas list, but maybe I should see if the rest are available for the kindle and add some of them as well
I found it extremely odd how Babs Seed is older than Applejack in the EQG comic, but the same age as the CMC in the show. I also find it odd that Twilight in the EQG comic is pre-faithful student and Sunset is a freshman, but Twilight and Sunset are both seniors in the EQG movie. The explanation for that I can come up with is that time moves faster in MLP than in EQG.
Do you know what I think of the comics? DO YOU WANT TO KNOW WHAT I FUCKING THINK OF THE COMICS!?!? ........ ........... ....................... I love them :D
I really liked the Twilight micro. I really the author's art style. I've read his other works. The Rarity Mightmare arc was my favorite too. (though her armor clashed) The comics in general are either a success or a miss. It's interesting to see the show in different art styles and writers. You don't have to read them in order to enjoy the show. They don't give you more depth into the world. They feel more like fun official fanfics. I can't wait for Luna's micro.
So with Daring Don't being what it is how does that gel with the Shining Armor comic or specifically the background Easter egg about Twilight Velvet writing Daring Do? Or is it possible that it is more a matter of Twilight Velvet writing AN award winning Daring Do novel but not being the original writer of the series?
I was wondering if there was any connection between the nightmare dreamscape creatures from that Nightmare comics and the fallowing villains from the series Discord, King Sombra, Trixie, Queen Chrysalis, and maybe even Gilda the reason for me asking this is because of how the Nightmare Dreamscape creatures affect others according to their fear of being alone
You should analyze the Tumblr blog Doctor Whooves and Assistant (as well as the affiliated blogs, discorded doctor, bedeviled derpy, and lovestruck derpy)
Well... you just made me order the comics. I was aware of them but didn't exactly feel like i should already buy them... but seeing the 1st minute or so of the video just made me get over it and go and order them. So yeah. I can't bring myself to finish this video because it's going to spoil me the comics xD Thanks a lot Digi! (not really sarcasm ;) ) BTW you're awesome.
Thank you digi, I've been wanting to read these comics for a long time, but I have no money to spend on them. Once I DO though I want to buy the whole set in physical. I also think that more bronies should take a look at them. Since a lot of them want their pony fix, but don't know where to go for it.
I fail to see how the Nightmare Rarity arc could possibly be considered canon. There was an overwhelmingly large number of entirely overlooked show-canon progression points used to make Rarity fit and fall into the Nightmare role, as well as a number of later comments, actions and lines that completely overshoot points of her characterization.
I like most of the comics, cept some and the Micros and the Nightmare Rarity arc which characterizes Luna so so so badly to the point where she feels more like stupid fanon around her than she does in any actual episode or even the other comics and I dislike the Nightmare Forces as a concept.
My personal opinions on the comics: Chrysalis arc- Awesome, hilarious, but a bit of a letdown finale. 4 stars Nightmare arc- Awesome, dramatic, and with an awesome finale, but a slightly lacking middle. 5 stars Big Mac arc- Hilarious and heartwarming, especially with all the mares who seem to have a thing for Big Mac!. 5 stars Shining Armour/Cadance arc- Hilarious, nice backstory, finally gives Shiny and Cadance some personality, and a tonne of geek humour (Katie Cook displays alot of geek-cred here, she clearly knows her RPG gaming.) 5 stars Twilight Sparkle Micro- Odd art style, a bit dull but kinda heartwarming and lots of neat literature puns. 3.5 stars Rainbow micro- A bit oddly written, I agree, and the story is a bit simplistic, but ultimately alright with a nice art style. 3 stars Rarity micro- Brilliance from start to finish. Lots of hippie-humour and great artwork. 5 stars Pinkie Micro- Adorable and just leaves you with a good feeling, as well as an awesome art style that rivals Andy Price's. 5 stars Fluttershy Micro- Artwork is decent, but otherwise, honestly kinda lacking. I'm not sure what it was but something about it just didn't really click with me. 3 stars. Applejack Micro- A bit of a bland art style, but otherwise pretty funny. 4 stars. CMC Micro- Art style take some getting used to, but otherwise pretty funny stuff, though the conflict seems a bit lacking. But then it makes an MST3K joke and it regains a point. 4 stars. Celestia Micro- Very funny, great artwork, lots of Harry Potter jokes (And a cameo by Gordon Ramsay of all ponies!) and a decent heartwarming story. And yes, the ending does seem a little sobering and a little hard-hitting if you think about it too hard. 5 stars. Spike Micro- Neat art style, and a very interesting concept (Spike creates a society of amphibious, overgrown Sea-Monkeys and gives them intelligence, just say that out loud to yourself!), but the conflict is kinda lacking and it is kinda bland. 3 stars. EqG Annual- Incredible backstory for Sunset Shimmer with great artwork and a really rather dark storyline. And for the rest, a very unique art style that takes a bit of getting used to, but otherwise a very engaging little backstory. All in all, it may have a few hiccups in terms of artwork and stories, but hey, every comic series has that. I highly recommend getting the MLP comics!
Arc 1: A great start and gives Chrsalys more character unlike how the episode they introduce her. Arc 2: In my my honest opinion it has the best story I have seen and it just blows me away. Arc 3: A character I love and now even more and the best part it fixed what Hearts and hooves did. Thank you Meghan for ruining him having any chance to have character in the show. Unless season 4 comes ins and disprove it. Arc 4: You know when EG is horrible when the writers of the comic tells a better highschool story than that piece of garbage But has one big issue. If twilight knew that Candance has a crush on his brother, Why is it so surprising to her? The only explanation I can think of is that she doesn't knew her full name. Micros: So far its a mix bag for everybody as its hit or miss. I do like all of them in their own rights but ya there do have problems. EG comic: It really shows a lot and I love it but trying to connect to EG is really hard to do do to how terrible the movie was. But at least they tried unlike the writer who never had cared for EG.
RaebNitsirt Yes I don't like it. I'm not against it having spinoffs as long as they are good hints why I love the comic. People say the art is terrible but I think that they are way to picky.
I'm glad I watched this video or else I wouldn't have bothered checking out the Equestria Girls comic. I completely agreed with you on what you said about the other comics (except I think the Big Mac arc was the best but that's splitting hairs) so I'll have to go and find it after such a glowing recommendation.
thats for the EG overview. I was not putting down 8 bucks for one comic. Sure one episode of the show is only 2 bucks but it starts to get stupid when I can buy 4 episodes of an hour long show or of MLP for it.
Wow, I'm amazed that you re-listed some of your MLP content, it's been forever since I've seen any of these.
I took a long break from watching your channel (and anime in general) a few years ago, and don't know too much about what you've been doing lately (just found out you took down a bunch of your videos, like, 10 minutes ago.)
Either way, I'm glad to see you've been growing into a happier person lately (as far as I can tell).
Good luck with everything you are aiming to do, Beatrice!!!
Luna's 'Blame My Sister' shirt... oh god... I'm dying of laughter here...
LOL ME TOO HAHAHAHAHA
Honestly, Digi, I hope that the comics are NOT canon. The existence of the Nightmare forces as a Venom-esque outside force that takes control of a pony and makes them an evil version of themselves with no control of their own actions, then the arc of Luna's fall, Redemption, and Subsequent Character growth are made Narratively pointless. I prefer to think that the pent up anger and rage in Luna's heart built up and interacted with her magic, causing the unstable power that Luna had been building up to erupt and form Nightmare Moon, which- even after being purified by the Elements of harmony- still exists within Princess Luna, but is now balanced by the love and friendship that the ponies demonstrated for her.
I was hoping for either Digibrony or Bronycurious to make a video on this. But it looks as if they do not even see the problem.
The second arc gave us Nightmare Moon without Luna and Luna without Nightmare Moon, i.e. a sub-Chrysalis and a sub-Cadance. If that happened in the show, it would ruin the character for me.
*****
Indeed. That is my thought exactly. In my view Nightmare Moon is simply the Darker side of Luna's personality given form by her magic and then allowed to overwhelm her. The Power of the Elements essentially countered the magic, by showing Luna what friendship was. This allowed her own nature to reassert itself, but that darkness, that pain is still there, it is a part of her, and it always will be. It just is not in control anymore.
Of course, one part of the main series comics Non-cannon means making the entire thing Non-cannon, and honestly, I am okay with that. It makes it so that events similar, though not exactly the same as the Chrysalis saga to happen in the Show, since Twilight in the comics does seem to lack wings.
Skye Silverwing
Back in S1, I think I was a lot more open to the common fanfic idea of "the Nightmare" as a separate entity able to jump hosts. NmM and "Woona" were so different from each other that it made sense. But then came Eclipsed, an episode that took the two previous designs and portrayals and merged them into a new coherent whole. It even ended with Luna accepting to be Nightmare Moon for the holiday. And it was glorious! There is no way I would let all that go so easily.
In issues #5-6 of the main comic series, the way the nightmare forces were described made them look similar to the dark side in Star Wars. And I was completely okay with that. But then she talked and she explained how she had been defeated by the elements before but could no longer be now that she had taken over Rarity. They might as well have revealed that Anakin had been possessed by the ghost of an ancient Sith and that Vader was now in Lando's body.
The worst part is that it might actually have been Lauren Faust's original concept.
Now, regarding Twilight's wings, she will have them from issue #13 onward. The comics are catching up with the show.
Well, the Nightmare seems to feed off of its hosts insecurities and negative aspects of themselves i.e Luna's jealousy and Rarity's need to feel important. The Nightmare is everything you said, except the forces come from an external source, with Luna welcoming the Nightmare into her body so she wouldn't feel like the lesser sister. Does that make Luna possessed? Yes but willingly at first. The Nightmare did not force its way into Luna. She wanted it, and it came, and so Nightmare Moon was born
*****
If you allow me, I would point out two problems with this argument:
1) We see the whole process at work on Rarity. All it takes is one moment of fear and confusion for the Nightmare to take full control. There is no real consent.
2) This is the same world in which another monster queen can use your love to feed on and control you.
Great video Digi! I've never really read comics, but you've inspired me to go and read some. Thanks.
Welp - that endorsement was basically all I need out of this video. Now to somehow buy dead-tree format MLP comics without outing myself as a Brony. Hmmm - can I mail order them from somewhere?
Amazon has full arcs in single books (I've got nightmarity, chrysalis, and the mane 6 micro so far) which are significantly cheaper than buying them issue by issue. Mail delivery also sends them in an unmarked box, so that's neat.
Daniel Cross Perfect! Cheers!
Thanks mate, I found them because I couldn't get the old ones in stores and it's really just more convenient overall.
I can't believe this survived the post pcp snap.
the beginning felt like something Peanut Butter Gamer would do.
Your right it does!!
Welcome to Digibrony, where good cartoons are analyzed, Digi is gonna teach you all a lesson you will learn.
Show's writers, you are the smartest.
Comics, you certainly have artists.

IDW whose had some great comics published
it could be your turn
Digibrony... he's an F-ing Alicorn Princess *punch*
Hey, Buc! I want to hear your opinion on these comics. I definitely like hearing what you have to say about stuff and you certainly have different aspects that you focus on when you do reviews than other reviewers have done.
tumblr!
***** Awesome!
Did anyone else notice the Gravity Falls reference in Arc 2?
I only read up through the 4 arcs and Twilight's and Rainbow's.
Though I wouldn't know of the artists so to speak, I did enjoy those comics much more than some of the show. They did a magnificent job on the main arcs of the story and found both humorous and edgy at the same time. Nothing ever really slowed down for me when reading them, adding just enough spice in each part to keep me interested and hooked.
I only discovered these after going to a comic shop and trying to figure out the prices for my old comics. Me and my little brother and sister where excited with these. I really didn't know that they where canon though, that's awesome.
I really did like the Celestia Micro Series the best. The art was awesome and it really appealed to my taste.
Plus, the way Ink Rose did their voices, it was really awesome.
You forgot to mention that Luna has a mico-comic coming up.
Aside from the fact that the stories and artwork are always perfect, one of my favorite parts about these comics is all the little things in the background. You can read the same comic four times and still discover something new each time you do.
There are cameos everywhere, they pretty much canonized that Doctor Whooves is actually THE Doctor, if you pay close attention to the background in the latest arc you'll find out who wrote the Daring Do books, and there is a plethora of older gen ponies slipped in there for the fans who grew up on the old series.
These comics really are a must-read for all MLP fans, and I'm really glad to see you read them as well, Digi.
These comics are not cannon until I read them!
Well after I read the *Nightmare* story arc(like several times because I liked it so much), I did a lot of thinking and came to a realization, the very thing that made Luna become Nightmare Moon in the first place, is actually very similar to how Spider-Man's Eddie Brock(or who ever depending on the incarnation) became Venom, these "Nightmare Forces" as they are called, are actually similar to the *Marvel Comics' Symbiotes*, but instead of being slime-like blobs, they're ghost-like clouds of smoke, like the Symbiotes they require hosts in order to be at their true power, and they are able to grant their hosts great powers, but at the cost of consuming both their minds & bodies, turning them into monsters that are only focused on their host's most negative emotions, and since they are creatures of *Dark Power* the Nightmare Forces are vulnerable to bright lights & the power of positive emotions(similar to how the Symbiotes are weak against intense heat & loud sounds), so their ultimate goal is to bring forth the eternal so that they could thrive in non-stop darkness, and similar to how the Venom Symbiote retained all of the memories of Peter Parker when it bonded with Eddie Brock, Nightmare Rarity retained the personality of Nightmare Moon even though it was no longer bonded to Luna, plus the ponies keep mentioning that the Nightmare Forces possess something called the "Nightmare Energy", which apparently is the name of the form of Magic they wield, which allows them to trap anyone in a coma & make them live their worst nightmares and/or most tempting dreams forever, over all after analyzing both the show's episodes & the comics' story arc issues, I realized that they do have a lot of similarities to the *Marvel Symbiotes* which may explain why I like that story arc so much, but hey that's just how *I* see it, so whatever.
I've been looking for links to buy them FOREVER! All I could ever find was different "collectible covers" stuff. Thank you so much.
I like how the Nightmare arc adds more depth to Rarity's character and has some good moments with Spike and his feelings for her.
But all anyone talks about is Luna, despite having a far more predictable arc
I really want more of these. I only have the first comic book with gummy and Pinkie on the cover from getting it at a elementary school book fair >->
Thanks for the vid, Digi. You've actually convinced me to give these a look.
As a US Marine and as a person with a brain, there is nothing more pleasant and refreshing than hearing someone use the word "behoove" correctly. While it might be a stretch in the context you used with respect to the traditional definition, you were at least grammatically correct, and that make me happy.
I decided the comics were the best thing ever when Firefly and Surprise showed up in the Celestia micro.
I was just going to skip reading the 2013 Annual, but your review has definitely changed my mind about giving it a chance. Thanks! The comics are genuinely awesome.
Hi Digi! I was a little unsure about the comics, but after watching up to the spoiler warning I think I'm going to get Volume 1&2!
If you havn't read the EQG comic, go do it! I'll spoil my favorite pannel bay simply saying you get to see Sunset Shimmer reading the Necronimicon in Canterlot's forbiddin library.
Considering cannon, that would mean my thoughts of mashing up MLP with Lovecraft has a little to work with.
1:10 Seriously?! people haven't read these? Digi is right guys, these comics are pure gold.
Quick fact: the artist of the Pinkie Pie and CMC micro, Ben Bates, is also a penciller for the Sonic the Hedgehog comics. That probably helps explain the change in style, as that is what he is capable of.
I bought the Chrysalis-book in Germany when I was returning home to Finland... and I've been so excited about the comic while being devastated about my lack of understanding of German. It's a bizzare feeling.
thankyouthankyouthankyou Digibro for convincing me to give these camics a chance!...strange,i love MLP & the picto-glyphic narrative arts,but was afraid to pick 'em up until i heard your trusted,official hooves up...my sincere gratitude!
I found it funny how you completely disliked the Twilight mini since that one was one of my favorites. I understand where you're coming from, but I thoroughly enjoyed what I saw as a story of friendship gradually winning over someone who had closed their heart off to everyone.
thanks for talking about the comics! I had no idea how interesting they are
Thanks for introducing me to the comics, I love the detail, in the image where Shining Armor is singing "Pretty Pink Mares" Vinyl is getting her cutie mark.
When I first bought issue #1 (derpy cover, drawn by Amy mebberson), I was shocked at how well written it was and since then I was hooked!
Love your videos! Glad you're enjoying the comics! I'm the colorist on the main series/some of the micros
omg the Little Girls moment. when I read it I took it right to my partner who got it right away and we both fell apart laughing. ALSO PROPS TO THEM FOR DRESSING SHINY AS ADAM ANT!!!!!!!!
Personally I thought having a chance to see Twilight exploring the more Librarian side of her personality was very enjoyable myself. Not as well made as Rarity's of course but I don't know if I'd go so far as to call it skip-able.
Though given the art style I could see you having more of that opinion Digi.
Just the first 30 seconds makes me want to find, and buy, these comics... sadly, I have no idea where I could find them around where I live.
Read the description.
frederickthesquirrel
I mean... they are only available digitally or ? That's what I meant. No place selling them near me, as far as I know.
Next best thing I guess ?
Yenastuundepaspris55
They can be found on places like Ebay and there are a few online indie shops like CC comics that also sell the physical copies if you prefer holding the real thing in your hands. Me, I get most of mine ordered on Ebay the day they come out. This can be more expensive than getting the digital copies, of course, but it really depends on your preference as a collector/pony fan.
You can buy the comics at hot topic at any mall that has the store :)
4:54, Ninja Turtle reference, LOVE IT!
You know as a guy who is in the Fandom for over 2 years, and pretty much loved all things pony since day 1, i have a problem with these comics. I don't like Comics in general. I mean sure they're probably good and they might even be better then the show. But i never found any love for this type of media. I can't put my finger on why i never touched Comics, but i don't like reading them.
BTW if you like these comics, go buy them. I think they put alot of afford into it. But i will probably never go into it and just keep watching the show.
I'm going to have to comeback after reading these and I trust your opinion, so I think I'm going to start reading these very soon.
I've been tirelessly working on my own comic thing, so maybe I'll pick up something to add to my process, as well. Edutainment time.
A fair warning though, some people find the wtilight, rainbow dash, fluttershy and apple jack micro issues rather disapointing and those that hated the Equestria girls movies ussualy don't find the annual good either.
All the rest are a a great read - sepecially everytihng by cook and price and the celestia and pinkie pie micro comics.
LostInNumbers I still haven't seem Equestria Girls. I was going to see it in a Hotel room with some others during BronyCon, but I passed out in my hostile, instead.
TheRealVastile Also be warned even the good ones such as Chrysalis and the sorts have some people that didn't enjoy it due to rehashes and the sorts (I don't want to spoil something but the mane 6 get the idiot ball and forget for some time they are fighting changelings). Along with that, the Chrysalis and Nightmare ones have some lore breakers and logic rippers that don't fit in the show and have some inconsitencies. They also will use internet jokes and memes that can be sometimes grating. Finally, the Twilight one isn't bad per say but kinda scraped by with an okay plot and is generally considered one of the worst in terms of art style. RD is disliked for caricature nature and contradicting important plot points. Fluttershy's seems to be generally considered the worst and AJ's isn't praised. Bar the EQG and the rest, the general consensus of the others seems positive if a bit critical of the flaws that exist (and whilst I enjoyed them they were a bit huh even to me)
hey digi, just a question since it is out now, what did you think of the luna micro?
i personally thought it was friggin hilarious and expanded luna's role in Equestria, but I am curious as to what your opinions are.
thank you digibrony! i plan on ordering all the paperbacks,and this vid helps me keep track.
My friend is all things pony, so when he told me about the comics I told him I'd "get around to it." I eventually did, and now I'm telling everyone that these comics exist and where to get them. They're well-written and canon so a worthy read. Most of them.
I'm glad you're making this video because you're telling everyone "Hey, season 4 is soon. Read these!" and I totally agree that getting the word out about all these comics is great.
A comic book store just opened down the street where I live.
Thank you for this video before I went over to visit it.
I really thought that Cook and Price were headed towards a retelling of "The ransom of Red Chief" were by the time the mane six got to Queen chrysalis's castle the CMC would have drove her crazy enough for her to beg Twilight and group to take them back.
I think you should talk about the Spike and Luna comics now.
Wide-ruled paper is for FOALS! Seriously though I'm glad you put this up, I've been praising the comics since the first issue and this might just be the push my friends need.
I wanna read the comics now! My favourite character is Rarity, so I'm happy to know that her micro-story is the best! And as a person who genuinely liked Equestria Girls, I'd like to see how this comics improves on it.
i cannot thank you enough for introducing me to the comics digi!
In the shining armor and cadence comics when shining sings for cadance you can see a young dj pon3 in the bottom right of the second page with a flash effect and her cutie mark on her flank. Shining armor embrassing himself gave one of the best background ponies her cutiemark. Well done
Do you think Spike will get a micro series? Maybe one where he finds out about his origins?
Thanks to your hidden description secrets, I literally just finished reading the first issue and then came back to finish the video, while avoiding the minefield. Let me tell everyone now: First of all, thoroughly look over that description. Secondly, the comics caught me on the first speech bubble. As I was reading, it became obvious that these comics were targeted at the brony community. Which lines up, as they seem to take place after the royal wedding. The humor and story telling, while still appropriate for a younger audience, are much more adult. It's obvious that these comics were written to appease an audience of teens and up. It reminded me of some of the Spider-Man comics I read when I was a kid. While there was nothing in them that should stop a kid from reading them, I was still able to enjoy them years later. And as a kid who has always gotten adult topics far ahead of his peers, I understood those aspects as well. So not only are these comics sedating my pony withdraw since the Legends of Equestria servers went down, but they're giving me an unexpected nostalgia trip. Even the art style is very much like the older comics I read, but with a comedic twist. Couple that with blatant fan service and humor that would only get people above fourteen laughing (and I'm being merciful with that), you've got yourself a fine example of comic books in general. Screw the fact that it's about MLP. Honestly nothing about these felt like they had the stigma attached to them like the show does. They're just solid comics, that you can only recognize as MLP thanks to the title and superb handling of the world and characters.
Are the arcs separate titles ( MLP: FIM: chrysalis) or does it just go "MLP: FIM issue 1,2,3,4, so on"?
The latter, they're on issue 13 at the moment, with the arcs taking place during 1-4 (chrysalis) 5-8 (nightmare moon) 9-10 (big mac) 11-12 (shining and cadence)
I've just recently went through all the MLP comics and I couldn't agree more.
Digi, could you please give your analysis on the Season 4 teaser? I noticed quite a few details, but I'm sure you could find more.
4:30 OMG I love the big mac comics. And I too love the characterization they've given to him. IMO the best of the main comics series so far.
Out of all the MLP reviewers, I believe that you are the only one brave enough to actually tackle the comics. I have heard mixed reviews on them, but I actually enjoy reading them. You do a good job with this review and I look forward to more in the future.
The idea of using voices that sound like each other to break up friendships actully 1st came from a spongebob episode and where squidward uses special bubbles to do spongebob and Patricks voices and says mean things that eventully break up spongebob and Patricks friendship and I recommend to try and find a clip of the episode or try and find the episode and watch the whole thing
6:14 we also get the first appeance of Vinyls big brother
I own all 12 current issues of the the monthly series and I have to say when the story arc of cadence and shining was announced I was thrilled I cleared up the plot holes I saw In the beginning of the season 2 finale
Thanks Digi, I've ways wondered about the comics. Sadly comics are just not my thing and it seems like they don't expand the shows canon, or at least not in the way I'd be looking for. It be so great to have an official source of deep canon and backstory that deals with topics the show has brought up, but never really dealt with fully. However, I was pleased to read that the people behind the comics are fully behind Princess Twilight.
My birthday is on the same day Season 4 comes out.
I've been dying to read the pony comics since I saw issue 2 at hottopic, but never had the money to buy them, but now I've decided to read them now, and buy them later when I have money.
I've read the first two volumes of the Series (Arc 1 and 2) and I have to agree with Digibrony on them being fracking awesome. I love them so far and I plan on purchasing the third volume and the Volume 2 micros once the entire thing becomes available on amazon.
I love the comics, heck the first one I bought was the hardback that combined all of arc 1, even got Andrea Libman to autograph it! The comic is a worthwhile investment. With art and humor that I kind of enjoyed a bit more the then the show, also it has more Luna and you can't go wrong with that.
Oh, I want to read the comics, I just don't know of any comic shops anywhere near where I live. Several grocery stores and Walmart sell comics, but not MLP, so I have to wait for Amazon to get the TPBs, which I prefer as they're easier to keep track of, and buy them. I have the first volume and love it.
Well, I'm certainly enjoying the comics so far. I've been following them dutifully since issue three or so and it has made the wait for season 4 far more bearable. The main arcs are, of course, fantastic, and while I do find the micro series much more hit and miss, I find it hard to call any of them outright terrible, just kinda... meh on the low end of the scale. But when the micros end, I will be VERY interested to see how the new 'friends forever' line takes over, since those comics will be focusing on pairing up specific characters for a story, rather than focusing on a single pony. I have the annual ordered, but it hasn't come yet, and as someone who also enjoyed EQG (though I am fully aware of its flaws) I am very interested to see some more background with Sunset and the Humane five. Excellent work as always, Digi, can't wait to see some of the content that will be coming out with Season 4.
I'm of two minds about the comics, myself. I can't deny that they're objectively very good, and I liked both of the Micros that I managed to get a look at, but... The arc stories rub me the wrong way. Much like Flutterhulk, it just doesn't do anything for me, though I'm at a loss to explain WHY I didn't like it. That in turn is rather frustrating...
However, I will admit I've only read the Chrysalis arc and one issue of the Nightmare Rarity arc, so maybe some of the others are better?
Wait, there's actually a school that exist in the Equestria? That actually surprised me the most. Well, I wasn't exactly paying attention at the time, but is it the same Magic school that Twilight originally tried to get into in the Cutie Mark Chronicles?
With the nearest store I could buy the comics in being MANY miles away from me, lacking gear to read it without everything being blurry and lacking the money to buy them, there is no large surprise that I have not read them. I get a little frustrated about it.
I have the first two comics (Kindle versions) on my Christmas list, but maybe I should see if the rest are available for the kindle and add some of them as well
I found it extremely odd how Babs Seed is older than Applejack in the EQG comic, but the same age as the CMC in the show. I also find it odd that Twilight in the EQG comic is pre-faithful student and Sunset is a freshman, but Twilight and Sunset are both seniors in the EQG movie. The explanation for that I can come up with is that time moves faster in MLP than in EQG.
Do you know what I think of the comics?
DO YOU WANT TO KNOW WHAT I FUCKING THINK OF THE COMICS!?!?
........
...........
.......................
I love them :D
I really liked the Twilight micro. I really the author's art style. I've read his other works. The Rarity Mightmare arc was my favorite too. (though her armor clashed)
The comics in general are either a success or a miss. It's interesting to see the show in different art styles and writers. You don't have to read them in order to enjoy the show. They don't give you more depth into the world. They feel more like fun official fanfics.
I can't wait for Luna's micro.
Great Video! I need to read the micro-series now!
the beginning was so funny *Camics*
So with Daring Don't being what it is how does that gel with the Shining Armor comic or specifically the background Easter egg about Twilight Velvet writing Daring Do? Or is it possible that it is more a matter of Twilight Velvet writing AN award winning Daring Do novel but not being the original writer of the series?
I was wondering if there was any connection between the nightmare dreamscape creatures from that Nightmare comics and the fallowing villains from the series
Discord, King Sombra, Trixie, Queen Chrysalis, and maybe even Gilda
the reason for me asking this is because of how the Nightmare Dreamscape creatures affect others according to their fear of being alone
according to hasbro, the comic writers, and the show writers everything from the comics is canon to the show. So yes, there most likely is.
I think you should do a crossover review of Fluttershy's comic with the Voice of Reason. He freakin' hates that one. The rift is still open, right?
I love how much pop culture gets thrown into these, especially in the Friends Forever series.
You should analyze the Tumblr blog Doctor Whooves and Assistant (as well as the affiliated blogs, discorded doctor, bedeviled derpy, and lovestruck derpy)
Well... you just made me order the comics. I was aware of them but didn't exactly feel like i should already buy them... but seeing the 1st minute or so of the video just made me get over it and go and order them. So yeah. I can't bring myself to finish this video because it's going to spoil me the comics xD Thanks a lot Digi! (not really sarcasm ;) )
BTW you're awesome.
What are your thoughts on (sic) Voice of Reason's video wherein he declares Micro-series 4 [Fluttershy] to be the worst thing MLP-related?
Thank you digi, I've been wanting to read these comics for a long time, but I have no money to spend on them. Once I DO though I want to buy the whole set in physical.
I also think that more bronies should take a look at them. Since a lot of them want their pony fix, but don't know where to go for it.
I fail to see how the Nightmare Rarity arc could possibly be considered canon. There was an overwhelmingly large number of entirely overlooked show-canon progression points used to make Rarity fit and fall into the Nightmare role, as well as a number of later comments, actions and lines that completely overshoot points of her characterization.
I like most of the comics, cept some and the Micros and the Nightmare Rarity arc which characterizes Luna so so so badly to the point where she feels more like stupid fanon around her than she does in any actual episode or even the other comics and I dislike the Nightmare Forces as a concept.
My personal opinions on the comics:
Chrysalis arc- Awesome, hilarious, but a bit of a letdown finale. 4 stars
Nightmare arc- Awesome, dramatic, and with an awesome finale, but a slightly lacking middle. 5 stars
Big Mac arc- Hilarious and heartwarming, especially with all the mares who seem to have a thing for Big Mac!. 5 stars
Shining Armour/Cadance arc- Hilarious, nice backstory, finally gives Shiny and Cadance some personality, and a tonne of geek humour (Katie Cook displays alot of geek-cred here, she clearly knows her RPG gaming.) 5 stars
Twilight Sparkle Micro- Odd art style, a bit dull but kinda heartwarming and lots of neat literature puns. 3.5 stars
Rainbow micro- A bit oddly written, I agree, and the story is a bit simplistic, but ultimately alright with a nice art style. 3 stars
Rarity micro- Brilliance from start to finish. Lots of hippie-humour and great artwork. 5 stars
Pinkie Micro- Adorable and just leaves you with a good feeling, as well as an awesome art style that rivals Andy Price's. 5 stars
Fluttershy Micro- Artwork is decent, but otherwise, honestly kinda lacking. I'm not sure what it was but something about it just didn't really click with me. 3 stars.
Applejack Micro- A bit of a bland art style, but otherwise pretty funny. 4 stars.
CMC Micro- Art style take some getting used to, but otherwise pretty funny stuff, though the conflict seems a bit lacking. But then it makes an MST3K joke and it regains a point. 4 stars.
Celestia Micro- Very funny, great artwork, lots of Harry Potter jokes (And a cameo by Gordon Ramsay of all ponies!) and a decent heartwarming story. And yes, the ending does seem a little sobering and a little hard-hitting if you think about it too hard. 5 stars.
Spike Micro- Neat art style, and a very interesting concept (Spike creates a society of amphibious, overgrown Sea-Monkeys and gives them intelligence, just say that out loud to yourself!), but the conflict is kinda lacking and it is kinda bland. 3 stars.
EqG Annual- Incredible backstory for Sunset Shimmer with great artwork and a really rather dark storyline. And for the rest, a very unique art style that takes a bit of getting used to, but otherwise a very engaging little backstory.
All in all, it may have a few hiccups in terms of artwork and stories, but hey, every comic series has that. I highly recommend getting the MLP comics!
Oh please do some more MLP comic reviews! There are some more issues out and I have gotten to flip through them.
Digi......that credit to the contributors at the end was the sexiest voice ive ever heard, oh my celestia.
Arc 1: A great start and gives Chrsalys more character unlike how the episode they introduce her.
Arc 2: In my my honest opinion it has the best story I have seen and it just blows me away.
Arc 3: A character I love and now even more and the best part it fixed what Hearts and hooves did. Thank you Meghan for ruining him having any chance to have character in the show. Unless season 4 comes ins and disprove it.
Arc 4: You know when EG is horrible when the writers of the comic tells a better highschool story than that piece of garbage But has one big issue. If twilight knew that Candance has a crush on his brother, Why is it so surprising to her? The only explanation I can think of is that she doesn't knew her full name.
Micros: So far its a mix bag for everybody as its hit or miss. I do like all of them in their own rights but ya there do have problems.
EG comic: It really shows a lot and I love it but trying to connect to EG is really hard to do do to how terrible the movie was. But at least they tried unlike the writer who never had cared for EG.
Just a shot in the dark here.
You didn't like Equestria Girls did you?
RaebNitsirt Yes I don't like it. I'm not against it having spinoffs as long as they are good hints why I love the comic. People say the art is terrible but I think that they are way to picky.
Hey, I heard there is a comic that describes Cadence's past. Does it go farther away than meeting Shining Armor?
Thanks for the review Digi! I just bought issues 1-10 :)
i wanna read them but my little sister won't let me touch her copies
I'm glad I watched this video or else I wouldn't have bothered checking out the Equestria Girls comic. I completely agreed with you on what you said about the other comics (except I think the Big Mac arc was the best but that's splitting hairs) so I'll have to go and find it after such a glowing recommendation.
I met Andy price and Katie cook at the Cincinnati comic con
8:53 If you listen closely you can hear Thevoiceofreason screaming
I love the fact that Shining is as much of a nerd as Twilight, finally explains how them being such good brother and sister.
wait where is that comic that tells the story of cadence becoming an allicorn that was everywhere when it was heard about?
That is just a regular book IIRC, not a comic.
luna's micro comic came out, it... was... AWESOME!!!
OMG, The Comics are Awesome!
I have almost all of them. Looking forward to the last micro as its about Luna.
thats for the EG overview. I was not putting down 8 bucks for one comic. Sure one episode of the show is only 2 bucks but it starts to get stupid when I can buy 4 episodes of an hour long show or of MLP for it.
