Price also makes a pretty good job of the deer, especially King Aspen, while the way he uses vines to add to borders is nice.Īnd now. (The writing on that last page is another matter.) His ponies aren't always that show-accurate – and his Spike is even less so – but I don't think that matters they look right in context, and I enjoyed the use of light and shade here with good colouring from Heather Breckel. The only pony here with the right idea is Granny SmithĪndy Price's art, on the other hand, is lovely in this issue, starting with his Cover A and continuing right the way to the final page. And I don't know who was responsible for lettering Celestia's letter to Twilight, but there are two very obvious typos in there. This comic isn't as bad as the last arc, with its absurd Twilight, but it's still pretty disappointing. Her first few arcs were wonderful, but recently she seems to have become increasingly divorced from canon in her plotlines. I absolutely hate agreeing with 4chan's continual over-the-top whinging about the comic series, but I'm being reluctantly compelled to accept that they have a point when it comes to Katie Cook's writing. So this could have been a fantastic issue. The synopsis also reminded me somewhat of the S4 premiere, "Princess Twilight Sparkle". This time round, the Everfree Forest seems to be attacking Ponville! I was really rather intrigued when I first heard about this storyline, as one of my biggest beefs with the show in recent seasons is the way it's downgraded Everfree to "generic scary wood" rather than exploring its unique nature in Equestrian terms. Cook especially didn't cover herself in glory with the Western-themed arc last time, so can she and her colleagues produce something a bit more satisfying this time around? Read on, MacDuff! Here, though, we have a new two-issue Cook/Price/Breckel comic arc.
