review 1: Collecting the first six micro-series issues, each one focusing on one of the "Mane Six" lead characters from the popular TV series and toy line, this was a lot of fun. While all very much in keeping with the tone and style of the show, each story--written and drawn by different creative teams--had its own distinctive voice and feel. Similarly, each character had a story appropriate to their personalities, giving us a range of tales from action-adventure (Rainbow Dash), character drama (Twilight Sparkle, Rarity, and Applejack), and humor (Pinkie Pie and, arguably, Fluttershy). IDW and Hasbro get points from me for allowing so much individual expression to show through a licensed comic, and not forcing creators into a cookie-cutter house style. Lots of fun for folks already... more familiar with the series.
review 2: There are seven issues compiled into this book. Twilight Sparkle, Rainbow Dash, Rarity, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, Applejack and the Cutie Mark Crusaders each have an issue. The stories are little outtakes that don't really flow together as a greater story line but they are meant to bring the reader to a deeper understanding of each of the characters. My son liked the Rainbow Dash story the best (no surprise, she is his favorite). The Cutie Mark Crusaders story was adorable! Their faces are so expressive and you can really see the differences in personality between the three friends. Applejack's story is so sweet and country- just like Applejack herself. Fluttershy's story is super cute, Pinkie Pie's is super fun, Twilight's is about books and Rarity's is about stepping out of her comfort zone. All in all, this Micro Series is awesome. less
