I love my little pony, and I was amazed when I found this comic at NetGalley. The original TV-show was entertaining and cute. The same cuteness is found in this comic, though I kind of wish it was one continuous story-line rather than a few separate stories.
The stories were nice and cute and well executed, with artwork that was very close to the TV-series. It was a quick and enjoyable read. Also I would like to defend the short story format, because it makes this comic ideal as a goodnight read to a child, you don't have to finish the whole book in one evening when it has natural stopping points.

Same set-up as the first two book. Four stories that feature one (or two) of the Mane Six (Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash, Twilight Sparkle, Pinkie Pie) as well as a side character (Iron Will, Spitfire). This one also included a story about Granny Smith and the Flim Flam Brothers, which I enjoyed. As much as I love the Mane Six, sometimes it's nice to see what the other characters are up to.
As with the other books, I prefer the art styles that are similar to the show (Tony Fleecs) and was really thrown off by the artists that used there own style for the characters (Jay Fosgitt's hardly even look like the characters and it drove me nuts).
Good stories, I liked the variety. Overall, another nice collection of stories for Pony fans.

As a kid I always loved to watch the original series of My Little Pony. I still several boxes full of them as I really liked to play with them as well. So, every time I see one of these on Netgalley, I'm very happy.
All the ponies are there once again, and if you like the tv-series you'll love these books as well. They are fun little stories, and ponies will save the day. After all, Friendship is Magic!
Thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for providing me with a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review!

I really wanted to like to this but it was just okay. The illustrations were a bit off and a couple of the stories were lame. I love Applejack, the Apples are one of my favorite parts of the show and their story was not good. The Rainbow Dash story and the Pikie Pie stories were pretty good but the Applejack and Fluttershy stories weren't that great. I asked one of the Bronies I know at work if he read these graphics and he said he didn't because he thought they were lame and didn't translate well. I thought he was being a harsh teenager but it looks like he was right. These are good for the little kids who need characters to learn to read but otherwise not great.

Overall this book was not one of the better ones. It felt like too many characters were out of character and the stories lacked the heart that they usually have. Wanted to love it but not impressed.

I love My Little Pony. I think I put it on TV more for myself then Emma, and I am ok with that. I love the characters, the lessons and the wonderful candy coated world. I didn't however love this book. There are 4 stories collected in this comic and I only found one to be mildly good. I don't know if the characters and show just don't translate to the written word well or what, but I had a hard time swallowing this. I found the illustrations to be off from what I normally expect and have seen in comparison to other publications and franchise products. And to be honest the images from the last story with Pinkie Pie are incredibly jarring and disturbing. Not my favorite taste of PonyVille to say the least.

If you've ever seen any of the "My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic" then you already know most of the characters in this comic. I have not watched the fourth season of the show so as long as you've seen the first few seasons you'll know how the story lines are for this comic. These comics are supplemental to the tv series so if you didn't get enough of them you can read these to find more of the adventures of Twilight Sparkle and her friends.
There are four issues in this volume, 9-12, and having not read the previous volumes I feel it's ok to read as a standalone as long as you've seen the show. The pacing is good for all the comics, although there is a different artist for each story (which isn't off putting, but is noticeable). I had no problems reading them. I did enjoy the particular expressions of one of the comics more than the others but they are all still very good and think the artists did a good job rendering the characters in their own styles.
I enjoyed each of the stories as they featured different story lines and sometimes characters. I think they were all well written and I had a great time reading them all. All the characters were spot on to the series and I could imagine their voices with no problems.
Definitely recommended to pick up if you're a Pony fan or want more of Twight Sparkle or her friends! They read similarly to episodes from the tv series so you won't be disappointed.
3.5 out of 5 rating for me.
