It’s come to my attention as of late that I tend to write mostly negative reviews. Despite the general consensus, I don’t find much in writing bad things about comics. I’d prefer to read good books over bad ones any day. It’s just that I read more things from DC Comics than other publishing companies and that’s come back to bit me. Usually there’s at least one book in the New 52 that I think keeps the entire line not deserving of complete condemnation, but now that Earth 2 has been turned into drek, that’s changed. Pretty much nothing from DC interests me anymore, save for Jeff Parker’s run on Aquaman for being one of the few books that has a sense of fun to it. But right now, I want to take a break from bad mouthing comics. I honestly want to like titles.

What they come to discover is a secretive city of mystical deer-folk who serve as guardians of the forests and are outraged that a group of construction workers are tearing down their home to put up an amusement park.
Plot-wise, this feels like an odd outing for the pony gang. Much of the...

Katie Cook wraps up one of ‘My Little Pony’s’ few two parters with issue #26. The arc follows the main ponies, led by Applejack, to stop the takeover of Canter Creek by Longhorn, a nefarious conman with a gang of cattle ranchers as back up. This arc is heavily inspired by American Western adventure as it plays on many well established tropes of the genre, has Rarity obsess over cowboy romance fiction, and contains many hilarious shout outs to the like of Clint Eastwood and ‘Blazing Saddles.’ The issue starts out with Longhorn taking over Rancho Bronco, a chili pepper ranch, which effectively promises him ownership of the entire town. From there on, the ponies must find a way to pull the property out from under him. Stuck without magical aid from the authorities, Applejack...
