Comic mini-review: My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic #39

Amy Mebberson's "Valentine's card" Sub cover is cuteness itself

You will probably recall that when I reviewed the first half of this Christina Rice/Agnes Garbowska arc, I wasn't too impressed. Happily, the second half of the story is more involving – not amazing, but certainly a better read than the earlier comic. That's largely because of more interesting dynamics between the various foals involved, with even Snips and Snails seeming vaguely likable at times. It's hard to get away from how old-fashioned a pre-CMC cutie marks, pre-reformed Diamond Tiara story now feels, but this does at least give those days a moderately good send-off. ★★★
