MyLittlePonyTales Posted October 7, 2012 Report Share Posted October 7, 2012 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.Does that mean it could go longer than the show?

tacobob Posted October 7, 2012 Report Share Posted October 7, 2012 Does that mean it could go longer than the show?Yep. Just as long as the book sells and IDW has the rights. Many licensed comics have long out-lasted their TV series or movie releases..Lone Star's Comics cover for #1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tacobob Posted October 11, 2012 Report Share Posted October 11, 2012 Wow..Who would have thought it....MLP is out-selling the (Uncanny) X-Men! So far the book's pre-orders is over 90,000 copies... :!:http://www.bleedingcool.com/2012/10/11/my-little-pony-1-sells-over-90000-copies/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tacobob Posted October 12, 2012 Report Share Posted October 12, 2012 If this book came out..say last month, it would have outsold every single American comic..Except for three (Avengers Vs X-Men, Batman and Justice League)..Really...It would be interesting to see if the title could hold a decent amount of sales after #1.

tacobob Posted October 13, 2012 Report Share Posted October 13, 2012 Eh. I just got the Derpy cover...I'll probably get one with Twilight when I pop over to MegaCon next year and get it signed by the artist and VAs that will be attending..

MyLittlePonyTales Posted October 13, 2012 Report Share Posted October 13, 2012 Now I have to have the war between my disdain for variant covers and my complete-ist nature to want to have all of the mane 6.What about the subscription variant, or the Derpy cover, or the Lone Star cover, or the Hastings cover?

tacobob Posted October 13, 2012 Report Share Posted October 13, 2012 Has anyone seen Jill Thompson's cover yet?I cannot stress this enough! If you haven't read her (And Evan Dorkins) epic comic mini series, 'Beasts Of Burden' do so! It's a weird cross between Buffy/Watership Down/ and even FIM. They even had a Hellboy crossover. Thompson's art is incredible and Dorkin can write some funny stuff.You can read some of the earlier stuff on Darkhorse's site.:http://www.darkhorse...easts-of-Burden* Fanboy mode off * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RarityDash Posted October 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2012 Has anyone seen Jill Thompson's cover yet?I haven't yet, which kind of makes me slightly nervous. So many great covers have been shown and I'm still stuck with this mystery cover. Still, knowing the level of artist she is and the respect she has, I'm still expecting something great.

Gez Posted October 15, 2012 Report Share Posted October 15, 2012 I have to say, I am really enjoying the artistic liberties taken with the style of this art. The use of soft watercolor against basic black line is possibly a throwback to the original art found in 1980's Generation 1 storybooks and packaging, though something about it also reminds me of other art around that time - such as Garbage Pail Kids. (Haha, subliminally leaning a bit more toward the male demographic in this respect?)Anyways, I love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrankT Posted October 15, 2012 Report Share Posted October 15, 2012 There isn't really a best, just which cover you like better. Why not get everything?II'm not worthy!! Anyway, I bought the monthly subscription. I think that's correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
