That will at least let you see what the artwork is like and a bit of the story setup.<br /><br />Looking at the next few issues, the creative teams will be:<br /><br />FF #17 (Twi/Big Mac) Anderson/Hickey<br />Main #31 (second half of this) Rice/Garbowska<br />FF#18 (FlutterDash!) Rice/Fosgitt<br />Main #32 (new two-parter) Zahler/Fleecs<br /><br />I have a good deal of optimism about FF #17, since I think Hickey is one of the best artists on the comic. Obviously FF #18 won't exist because I'll have bought every copy in the universe. :P As for main-series #32, again I'm fairly optimistic, as Fleecs has improved so much since he started. But the second half of <i>this</i> arc (FF #31) is not one I feel much excitement about.Loganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03769758118827489093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8301854188587462574.post-62384067787154088872015-05-28T10:57:06.032+01:002015-05-28T10:57:06.032+01:00I knew almost nothing about this particular story ...I knew almost nothing about this particular story arc, since the place I pre-ordered it from didn't have any details at all. (Not even a cover picture at the time.) Unfortunately as I've said before, I'm not at all a fan of Garbowska's artwork, so once I opened the issue and recognised that art style, it was hardly the most encouraging of starts.<br /><br />And the story, as you mentioned above, just felt so uninspiring. To me it felt almost forced. It seemed extremely out of character for just about every pony in the story, and I couldn't really see them going to quite such lengths over something like a plaque. It seems a bit pessimistic to say it, but I really don't hold out much hope for the next issue, and in all fairness I only pre-ordered the next two issues out of loyalty. If things don't seriously improve, and soon, with the comics then I may well have to forget pre-ordering and start visiting Forbidden Planet on a "I want to see it first" basis.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15825456972207959200noreply@blogger.com
