Comic mini-review: Friends Forever #35: Twilight and Starlight Glimmer

At least Tony Fleecs used the right manestyle
This team-up was always going to happen, unexciting as it is. Ted Rob Anderson writes a reasonably effective, if not amazing, story and it's nice to have a bit of Star Swirl again. (Not appearing in pony, sadly.) Jay Fosgitt's art is... well, Jay Fosgitt-y. If you hate it, this won't change your mind – especially as he gives Starlight her pre-reformation mane design. Spike plays a fun supporting role this time, and the ending is a little less rushed than sometimes. A moderately entertaining Friends Forever issue. ★★★

    Anderson, my least favorite writer, and Fosgitt, my least favorite artist. I think I'll skip this one.

      Typo on my part re the writer: it's by Rob Anderson, not Ted. Doesn't otherwise affect my review, though.

    Actually Ted Anderson didn't write this one Ben Anderson did. As for the artwork I feel that Fosgitt isn't even trying anymore.

      Fixed! Thanks! (To "Rob", yes.)

      I'm actually okay with Fosgitt's style. I don't like it when he doesn't do his research (eg Starlight's mane) or when he makes ponies bipedal all the time, but the general style is fine.
