It was decent up until the end, and then...flat.

No significant art errors or the like that I saw, and I think they even managed to avoid fucking up the lettering. 6/10, dragged down by overusing the goddamn Indy pony and an ending that crashed about as awkwardly as Fluttershy did.

>“Siege of the Crystal Empire” Part 4! The epic Pony storyline of 2015 comes to a close! Multiple characters must make crucial decisions that will have an impact on the Crystal Empire—and Equestria—forever!

FF #23 I already rated earlier, 6/10.

Holiday special was better than expected. 7/10, would have actually been better if they hadn't done the whole "rescue party" thing and had one more Hearth's Warming Eve story.

FF #23 gets a 7/10 from me, for having improved art from Fleecs (hope he keeps it up) and some clever jokes (like the knocking one)

Holiday gets a solid 8/10 for giving me many chuckles and being quite comfy. Art is cute, would love to see more Cook drawn issues in the future.

It almost feels like they made it a regular length issue just so they could do the joke about the trip through the snow requiring 20 more pages to explain.

>>25632227
That sounds super plausible.
>>
>>25632169

Let's put it this way- they were finished months before the CMC episode. It usually takes at least 3 weeks from proof turnaround to print. Figure at least two weeks before that was when they had everything put together and sent said proof to be soft/hard proofed. And the work it takes to draw up the issue is weeks if not months more, even with Curnow's shitty quality control.

God. Fucking. Damnit.

I would enjoy this arc infinitely more if some one, SOMEONE, had the gall to call out Hope on her complete lunacy instead of making her out to be a victim. She isn't the fucking victim here.

Whitley is so fucking afraid to cast his OC in ANY negative light by the cast, not a single reasonable pony has said a word against her after the copious amounts of bullshit she's pulled. She is by far the most annoying Tragic Sue I've just about ever seen.
>>
>>25632819
And I swear to fuck if Twilight apologizes to Hope for Hope's idiotic idea to jump in and take her attack for Sombra I will lose my shit. I'm tired of OC's in these 'epic' arcs being so goddamned more infallible and important the characters we come to see.
>>
>>25632839
Or if Hope saves everyone when all hope (durhuuur) is lost by taking out the Heart and using her super special healing spell on it to banish all the umbrum at the sacrifice of her own life and everyone cries about her boo hoo.


God I just really hate what they did to Hope with this arc. There is nothing remotely likable about her anymore for me between her asinine treasonous plots, her overly developed guilt complex, her constant victimization, the fact that any character that isn't a villain doesn't make a point of trying to provide her with any sort negative reaction, constantly painted as a reasonable soul even though everything she's done goes so far beyond reason

Goddamnit is this what autism feels like? Not even Aspen pissed me off as much as Hope has and he was a fucking incompetent eco-terrorist.
>>

>>25632534

>Twilight and friends are already beaten

So I guess that 'We believe in you Twilight' was just a one time deus ex machina shtick then? Why wouldn't it work again?
>>
>>25632819
I know worse, but she certainly is not a good character in context on how the story is executed.

This shit went south from issue 2 and onwards.
The only thing I give it is that Sombra is kinda cool in it as he actually does shit and the Umbrum design is okay.
That is it.
Otherwise I don't care for any of the characters and Hope is utterly flat.

Giving both an 8/10. Cook's book definitely did not disappoint, as I was excited to see how it would hold up compared to...the ones we got the last two years. (Not counting the power ponies, of course).

Friends Forever: What struck me was despite Fleecs+Anderson, it came out better than expected. it was simple, and they explored different scenarios like lying or going through BATS! which was a nice detail for a 21-page book. I didn't have any qualms for it and while the ending felt a bit rushed, it didn't completely ruin the comic compared to the FiM pets issue. It was cute, relaxing fun.

Holiday Special, the three stories were fun, charming and especially the second, funny. They used the mix of artists well and I enjoyed it.

Not much to say for both issues as they were self contained stories, which works best for MLP. Would buy both, and I haven't bought an issue for so long.
>>
>>25631865
Felt like the story ended abruptly, but it was alright, and the art was great.
>>25632139
Both were pretty solid. I'd say 9/10 on the FF 23 since while I'm not a major fan of the plot, it was executed wonderfully and didn't leave me feeling angry in any way.
The Holiday one was also a very comfy 8/10, with some questionable directions, but fun in their execution.

7/10 for the FF one. Nothing outstandingly great, but definitely an enjoyable read.

AJ and Fluttershy didn't fully resolve the conflict by their own wits. The only way for Fluttershy to not be tarred and feathered (again) was for the villain to slip up.

It's a cop out.

At least it was mostly cute with some background jokes and a new animal and OC that could plausibly fit in the MLP world.

And the protagonists tried to resolve the problem (muh pretty pony princess nature reserve) instead of acting stupid for the sake of the plot (muh dindu nuffin cattle ranchers).

6/10 - Pleasantly surprised Ted and Fleecs didn't phone it in.

>Holiday Special
It was cute, it had some decent character and situational jokes, and both Rarity's sidestory and Big Mac's poem surprised me a bit.

7/10 - Wouldn't mind more.

As for these two,

was okay. Fleecs' art was pretty nice, the pigasus was cute and the story was simple and cute.
But as with most FF issues, these cute and simple stories with nothing much really happening and rehashing themes from existing episodes are starting to bore me a bit.
6/10

>>25632127
was good. A return to form for Cook, who should just stick to SoL as in that format her flanderizations of the FiM cast are still funyn and acceptable in a meta way. Bit of a shame it was so short, could have benefited from more artist contributions and substories.

>>
>>25634965

Curnow's systematically shown he isn't paying attention, as at this point a significant editing error per issue seems to be the rule rather than the exception.

Things like calling young Sombra a filly, or the aforementioned "Seige" in the latest opening page. Worse, given Price's sense of humor, I'm betting he did it on purpose just to show how few fucks Curnow has to give about the whole series.
>>
>>25636124

Y'know, if this had been one of Cook's attempts at epic I'd have agreed.

It was good for a Cook piece- which is to say, it was slice-of-lifey and didn't raise a stink in the nostrils while managing cute moments here and there.
