But I will say that I'd like to see this creative team work on other MLP comics in the future. :)Loganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03769758118827489093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8301854188587462574.post-85560797191537699822014-12-18T18:11:25.564+00:002014-12-18T18:11:25.564+00:00This was the first of the Friends Forever issues t...This was the first of the Friends Forever issues that I've brought since issue 8 (if I've got that right - the Rarity and Applejack issue?) so it was something of a gamble. But the fact that it featured Pinkie was a bit of a lure, and it seemed an intriguing story with Twilight as well. So I thought it had to be worth a try. And I'm certainly very glad I did!<br /><br />I can't really add much to what you said in the review to be honest, because it pretty much says it all. But I certainly think they got the "manic" feel right, which seemed very appropriate considering Pinkie's sugar overdosing. I think they managed to capture that feeling of "what on earth is going on?!" just right, and the panels were very creative at times. (Especially that nifty little board game which I hope will be marketed one day as Cakes And Ladders. ;) ) And there seemed something extremely sinister, to me anyway, about Pinkamena's near-snarled "I'm not feeling very friendly right now..." *Shiver*<br /><br />Apart from the really obvious references (Pac-man for example) I didn't actually notice many of the others, such as the "Fear & Loathing" reference, so thanks for pointing those out. Also, I didn't notice that blue balloon even though it was pretty obvious! (Or is it a Baluna?)<br /><br />All in all a very well put together issue and some wonderfully silly expressions at times - a definite "cheer me up" issue if ever there was one. :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15825456972207959200noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8301854188587462574.post-30196516211564407582014-12-16T19:43:34.533+00:002014-12-16T19:43:34.533+00:00It's hard sometimes, being a fan of comics pra...It's hard sometimes, being a fan of comics practically all of whose creators seem to be anime obsessives! Heather Breckel talked about anime a lot in her BUCK panel, and I mostly didn't have a clue who the characters she referred to actually were... :SLoganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03769758118827489093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8301854188587462574.post-55962208719892796822014-12-16T15:18:21.326+00:002014-12-16T15:18:21.326+00:00I really liked this comic as well.

Those drug dealers, erm, I mean snack vendors were increasingly eerie towards the end! (I bet those snacks were drugged...)<br /><br />"A reference to some anime or other, but I don't care about those" - GASP! By sheer coincidence, I'm working with a friend to do a pony comic series called Luna Academy that's inspired by that anime!handyj443https://www.blogger.com/profile/14554490913937636998noreply@blogger.com
