EDIT - That what I get for leaving this unposted while I am out all day.
I had low expectations for the My Little Pony comics series. That is why issue #1 not only impressed me, it blew me away. I bought 6 six copies just to give to people. On my rare journey to the comic books store, I tired to explain to it patrons the wonders of the ponies here. I encouraged pony fans to not fear the comics, but embraced them.

Then issue two happened. I shouldn't have let my hopes get so high.
( Let's look at what is good here )

I know I'm not the only one here who likes My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, nor the only one who has been thoroughly enjoying the IDW comic book by Katie Cook and Andy Price with its wacky-yet-kinda-creepy horror-comedy tone. There was some talk about the comic here before and after #1 was released... but since, as far as I can see, nobody's been talking about issues #2 or #3, I figured I'd try to do something about it. Because these comics deserve recognition.

So here are a few scans (two full pages, one three-quarter page and three page snippets, adding up to what I'd roughly estimate as three-and-a-half page) from the newest issue, #3, the penultimate issue in the Return of Queen Chrysalis storyline, for the most part centered around our villain-of-the-story, Queen Chrysalis. Who still manages to be a good deal creepier in the comic than she was in the cartoon.

What do you mean you haven't bought the My Little Pony comic yet? Get to itunes or Comixology right now! You don't like ponies? Oh, let us fix that.

Last night I made a small post offering some small bit of Pinkie Pie goodness from #1, but there is so much more. Every page has soothing to offer. From funny jokes and nods to brony fandom to fantastic art. This comic is full of fan candy. And it has an insane number of covers. I pulled the 6 of the regular covers off the net. I admit. I bought four copies to get different covers. One is a gift, really...at least that's why I bought it.

Last night's post, didn't really have any spoilers, but this one will ruin the end for you. Consider yourself warned. Things are getting weird in Ponyville....

( This came from a place of love, you can tell. )

I've had this comic, wanting to talk about it for like 9 hours now. Why has no one posted it? Anyway, I'll leave a nice full post to one of the MLP dedicated, but I am so I'm impressed i want to share something.

Here is two thirds of a page and half on one panel.
( Read more... )
Can this have a tag please?

Two of my favourite artists, Andy Price (on art) and Katie Cook (on writing, though she's a fine artists in her own right... see icon) have a regular gig in the form of the comic version of "My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic" (Not something I have been able to get into, but I know it's popular)

( Wordless, one page preview )

~~Saw this on Tumblr, and loved it on first reading. It would explain so much of A-vs-X~~

~~A one page story from AVX VS #6~~

Now that I've finally gotten all my items back from the last NYCC (I had one of my sketchbooks being worked on at the artist's home after the con) I can post my complete haul plus one I received unrelated to the con.

( What kooky characters did I get this time? )

Some of you have already come across a fun new blogspot, which offers and ALTERNATIVE new titles from DC which they would like to see..

Welcome to the DC Fifty-Too, a blog curated by cartoonist Jon Morris.

So, as always, I'd like to take this opportunity to thank everyone in the community. For the fun, the discussions, and ~~even~~ especially the arguments :) ), the shared obsessions (~~even~~ especially the naughty ones), the hidden gems, the new light cast on the well known, and the glimpses of glorious comic art past and present, may I wish a very happy Christmas to you and your families (in whatever shape, size and form they come in) and here's to a great 2011!

( And something to while away the quiet Christmas moments... )

Courtesy of artist extraordinary Katie Cook...

I've featured her card work before, and I've been meaning to post a link to her latest webcomic for a while, but the most recent issue finally prompted me to do something about it...

( Who is the mysterious monster called - Gronk? )

And in terms of utter cute, over on Facebook, Katie's been posting some sketches for an idea she suddenly came up with... What if the Marvel Universe were populated by cats instead of humans...

( Serisouly, this much cute is possibly illegal )

4 pages from three different stories. This surprisingly turned out to be one of the most talked about books this week at my local comic shop.

I love sketchcards, and I've posted a few in the past, and the new Rittenhouse Spider-Man Archives series is ripe pickings.

These were posted by the original artists here and here and here, so I think it's fair game to post them here

( Lots of cuteness, and a little pathos too )
