My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic #1 by Andy Price, Katie Cook
4.0
I was very surprised by how much I enjoyed this comic. I only bought it and the second volume because I fancied the covers (one has the Doctor and Derpy on it, and the other is of Vinyl Scratch), but I didn't expect the comic to be anything more than something slapped together with little concern for the fans. I was wrong!
The artwork is vibrant and colorful in the same style as the show, and all the characters were properly made. I enjoyed several of the background ponies and other details that were put in there for an adult audience to enjoy (I spotted the Blues Brothers and a book called "To Serve Ponies"). The Mane Six behaved in-character throughout the whole comic, and there were several instances where I chuckled at the writing.
The plot was also a clever idea, involving the return of Queen Chrysalis and her evil plan to take over Ponyville and exact revenge on the Mane Six. The creators of this comic did that well, and have made me anxious to read the next volume!
