Celestia: "Hey look, it's a pony comic!"
Luna: "She looks more like a phoney comic to me!" |
This is the start of the three-part "Accord" story arc, which will take us up to the landmark #50 issue of the
My Little Pony comic. I doubt the series will make it as far as #100, so I really hope this arc ends up being something special. It's certainly got off to a very good start, with a fascinating look at what happens when a strange celestial event turns Discord from a creature of chaos to one of complete order. If anything, he's
more frightening in this guise than he was before. The Mane Six play decent supporting roles, but it already seems clear that Starlight Glimmer is going to be Discord's main antagonist here. Andy Price's art, coloured by Heather Breckel, is as expressive and colourful as ever, while Ted Anderson gives us a story that holds the interest throughout. I'm pleased by this one, and
if they can keep up this standard for the next two issues, we'll have an arc worthy of its position in the comic series. ★★★★
