    The comics are brilliant! I've only read one so far, but the writing and art style is fantastic.

    They are also dealing with storylines that would never get a look in with the show.

    I agree, totally awesome. I Just read issue 9 yesterday definitely the best one I have read yet (out of issues 1-4 and all the micro-series) But I wont spoil anything.
    I would almost go so far as to say I prefer the comics to the show itself. It's probably because the comic can get away with putting a lot more references into it, and It feels like it's geared more towards the older fans than the show. Hasbro tends to give them much more freedom, I mean Derpy has been all but banished from the show but is still actively present in the comics.
    The art style is also amazing!

    I swore I'd swallow my collector instinct and not go made for these, and so far, I think I've done okay. I've read the Chrysalis storyline in that one collected volume and picked up a couple of the Micro Series. Rarity, Fluttershy and Pinkie.

    They're pretty good. Sometimes the art style can grate but that's true of any comic adaptation. Pinkie's story wasn't great, Fluttershy's was okay and Rarity's was very good. The Chrysalis one was class even if they did reuse the turn-the-mane-six-against-each-other crutch. I've never been much of a comic reader so maybe there's some of my own cynicism in there.

    I REALLY like the art style. As someone who is basically incapable of drawing anything, I love any kind of (to dust off an old chestnut) deviant art, so literally any non-show art. I find that by adapting bits of other people's styles, it helps me to get better and find my own.

    On that basis alone I'd love Andy Price's stuff. But the story is also great. Clever, mature, and every bit what you'd expect from this franchise. Me gusta :P

    The art style is very good, a much nicer atheistic than the show. Andy Price has done great stuff with the comic, His non-Pony stuff is great too, going by his deviant art anyway.

    The Writing is pretty good, and I love both the humorous dialogue and the visual gags. The whole thing makes for a very well rounded comic.
