@Calnos: Yeah, it's kinda hilarious how some of the covers compare to the content. Or even to each other really. The three covers I have so far show a progression from Dancing Rarity, to Pinkie and Rainbow Dash engaging in slapstick violence, to badass looking changelings. Seriously, I am so happy I got the changeling cover, because it's more awesome than anything with "My Little Pony" on it has any right to be. I mean seriously, look at how weird the MLP logo looks next to that picture.

It does stuff that the show will never really be allowed to do. And it develops Chrysalis better as a villain.

And let me just say, thank god for eye drops.

They're no substitute for rest, though.

Really, the sheer detail of her close ups sells her gruesomeness more than the show's simpler style can.

The advantages of hand-drawn I guess.

And hilarious too at times. Her faces when reacting with the CMC for example.

Yeah it's scary. She's ugly up close.

And the way it stuffs references and Easter eggs into every panel.

I'm just basing these observations from what I've seen of the. Still waiting for the TPB.

Chryssy is kind of cute at times in A Canterlot Wedding. Not so much in the comic, I take it?

They really do care about it. I say it's the shows equal!

Yes and no. I wish I could get the individual pages to show you.

I always expect the show to go darker than it does, so these comics are tailor-made for me really.

I'm glad to hear that.

It's a little weird to see you pop in here at midnight (or 5 in the morning your time), though. [lol]

@Syd: It's interesting. She can go from grotesque to adorable in consecutive panels. Case in point, take this page, which has three panels of her looking cuter than she does in the show itself, and one panel that wouldn't be out of place on a Black Metal album cover.

And seriously, I think that at the moment, the comic really does compare to the show in quality. It has a very different feel due to the art style being so different, but the characters are still captured very well, and the humor is great. Seriously Issue 3 has one of my favorite Pinkie jokes ever (It's the one with the costume. If you've seen the comic, you know what I'm talking about. I literally burst out laughing when I read that page).

@ JT: That last panel...Holy SHIT. Talk about Nightmare Fuel.

She's still no match for the Crusaders, though. [lol]

I don't have access to the comic here, so could you state any significant changes? What's the improvement on Chrysalis for example?

I can imagine Medic's lines in Fluttershy's voice, albeit in a different tone than the doctor originally used.

"Oops, that wasn't medicine..." sad

For others, though, she'll have to switch to New Fluttershy mode.

The comic is also developing Fluttershy, of all ponies, quite a bit. She was not a fan of being thrown so far out of her element, but now that she's in the thick of things, she's become enamored with everything nature has to offer and can really put all of her knowledge of animals to good use. Even the more brutal sides of nature that make the rest of the group squeamish simply fascinate her.

@Psi

Chrysalis is shown in true Chessmaster form in the comic. Her plan is as devious as it is vengeful and evil. She's also shown to avoid the typical Bad Boss school of evil overlords. She's quite friendly and almost casual with her minions, and they obviously respect her a lot, but they aren't afraid to question her orders. She simply explains herself rather than punish them.

Jeez, I only just now noticed Cloudchaser and Flitter hovering and waving above Jumping Bean Lyra.

I didn't notice any cameos besides Davenport and Vinyl Scratch. I compeltely missed Derpy despite being told to look out for her.

The whole bit with the costumes had me in stitches. And the part with the predatory animals. With Fluttershy's comment too.

[up][up][up][up][up]Are her minions developed, or still just unindividual drones? I think that's one thing the show hasn't done yet, actual individual Dragons or Elite Mooks.
