Motion Paradox Posted September 28, 2012 Report Share Posted September 28, 2012 I don't think that I've subscribed but when they had the article in Equestria Daily about the Derpy cover I managed to buy all 8 covers from that one store, so I think they do allow you to buy the subscription variant without actually subscribing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RarityDash Posted September 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2012 If anyone still needs to be sold on this comic, here's an hour long panel with the writer and artist. Some of the interesting points (includes spoilers):Confirmed to open with a four issue story arc with Chrysalis as the villain.They've apparently created an entire "new land" in the story that is not in the show.Comic will include a lot of fan favorite background ponies, with Octavia specifically confirmed to appear.They're looking to introduce new characters (sounds like new villains) in the second story arc, though this hasn't quite been okayed by Hasbro.There are explosions.Also, not about the comic, but they've both apparently heard rumors that a Derpy episode of the show might be in the works. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bellosh Posted October 4, 2012 Report Share Posted October 4, 2012 I bring ill news: Issue #1's release has been delayed to the 28th of November. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlammingHeart Posted October 5, 2012 Report Share Posted October 5, 2012 One thing which confuses me is the box set. As I read and understand it it comes out the same day as the first comic book ? Does this mean the boxset contains all 6 comic books or is it a preorder on all 6 and you get the first togheter with the set. or do you have to buy the comic books seperatly ?

Or is it jsut a box?Your previous post confuses me a bit. Maybe try some more grammar next time. But according to the description I read on the site, it clearly says it comes with six different covers. Where are you ordering from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tacobob Posted October 6, 2012 Report Share Posted October 6, 2012 As much as I love the box set. I ordered the Midtown Comics version....And will probably snag one of the Price covers at the con next year for Andy to sign.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaconofChaos Posted October 6, 2012 Report Share Posted October 6, 2012 No-one's answered my question either! Which ordering option's the correct one?I'd like to know as well. It asks for quantity. Is that the number of issues (i.e. issue #1, issue #2, issue #3 etc.) or is it actually the number of EACH issue (i.e. quantity 3 gets me 3 copies of #1, #2, and #3)? Anyone know?

Lerian Posted October 6, 2012 Report Share Posted October 6, 2012 On the UK site I went for the subscription option so I could get future ones.However: Upon checking the Midtown comics site, and factoring in exchange rates and delivery costs, it may not be that much more expensive to order from there and get a lovely Derpy cover....Choices choices...

Anyone know?Place the number of issues you would like your subscription for (e.g. 1 issue = 1 month) in the quantity box and pick your delivery option below.Which would lead me to believe that you get a different issue each month.MY LITTLE PONY FRIENDSHIP IS MAGIC COMIC BOOK SUBSCRIPTIONThe name of the product indicates that you are purchasing a subscription, though for how long is for you to decide.

tacobob Posted October 7, 2012 Report Share Posted October 7, 2012 According to Andy Price...It looks like they underestimated how popular this was going to be. Lesson to be learned. Don't underestimate us! (From http://andypriceart.deviantart.com/journal/Important-News-on-the-MLP-Comic-331014657)"It looks to be pretty official, according to our editor, that the MLP comic has been pushed back two weeks to Nov 28 for street release date.Before anybody gets upset (like one jerk on Twitter did), keep in mind the scope of this production: This is not a fanmade comic as some seem to think it is: This is a fully licensed comic book from a major Comic publisher done in cooperation with Hasbro. It is also one of the most highly anticipated comics for the entire fall/winter schedule. As such, we'd rather do it well than do it fast.The orders for this book have far exceeded what was first anticipated, so a little more padding in the schedule is going to help to ensure the product can meet the demandI also want to remind everyone: I am NOT The distributor/publisher... I just draw it. You cannot purchase the book directly from me. Here's some ground I've covered a number of times, but I keep getting asked... so here we go:1. WHERE IS IT SOLD? This will be sold along all the other comics out there at any given comic shop, and whatever other stores in your area that might sell comics2. HOW DO I GET IT? See above. You can subscribe to the book at a comic shop to make sure you have a copy reserved.3. WILL IT BE OVERSEAS? I've no clue what kind of range IDW (our publisher) has for distribution. As far as I know, I think so. Where however is out of my field of knowledge. You can order online at any number of online comic services, and have it shipped4. IS IT CANON? The comic is set within show continuity, and is done in cooperation with the show staff. This is as close to the show as it gets without having it animated. I personally say yes, but it is really up to the individual to decide.5. WILL YOU READ MY IDEA/FANFICTION/USE MY PONY? No, sorry, we cannot for a number of reasons, including legal. Nor will we be using anything from previous fanfiction, nor the German comics.6. WILL THERE BE HUMANS? No. We will not be changing the direction set by the show, nor will we introduce elements that do not fit the show.on another note, I would like everyone to welcome our newest addition to the stable, our colorist Heather Breckel! [link]I originally intended on coloring the book myself, but the work I put into the book took the time I had scheduled away. I was extremely reluctant to give it up... and who was this Heather chick, anyway? well, Heather has made sure that this book is going to hit a home run, and has done a great job.We have a LOT of plans for Ponyville... you're just going to have to wait two more weeks to get there!"

BaconofChaos Posted October 7, 2012 Report Share Posted October 7, 2012 Excellent! But now I need to know how many to preorder. Does anyone know how many issues there are going to be? Or will it just keep going? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlammingHeart Posted October 7, 2012 Report Share Posted October 7, 2012 No-one's answered my question either! Which ordering option's the correct one?It realy depends on waht tyour after but as only diffence on teh different books is the front cover I would go for the cheapest one.

tacobob Posted October 7, 2012 Report Share Posted October 7, 2012 Excellent! But now I need to know how many to preorder. Does anyone know how many issues there are going to be? Or will it just keep going?It's an ongoing series, as opposed to an 'limited series'. So as long as the book keeps selling and IDW has the rights to FIM,they'll keep putting the books out.
