Got this as part of a Fun Pack I bought from Ota-Fest.

My first pony comic I've ever read, and I was very satisfied with it! Had some giggles, some gaffs, good stuff.

I don't get why Toffee Truffle got the ribbon in the end, cuz different ponies won each round??

I liked it but it was kinda odd. Also they vilified the victim which doesn't quite sit right with me. But I did enjoy it over all, to an extent.

This comic started out cute and like an episode of My Little Pony Friendship is Magic, but quickly turned into confusion. The antagonist was pinned into some psycho-revenge story line, but in reality she was done wrong and it was never made amends for it. Every other pony was just acting random, including Pinkie Pie and Applejack. It just seemed like for the most part it was lazy and sloppy writing. The art was well done though, especially in the beginning and middle parts.

It was okay. Not as cute as I thought it would be.

It was cute and all but didn’t feel like MLP

I got this from Netgalley and Diamond Book Distributors. It will be available to the public on June 17th 2014. Since today was free comic day I was in the mood to read something light. This is the perfect comic for a late elementary/middle schooler to read. It is only 88 pages long so it was a quick read. There were 4 stories or so all based on friendship. I picked this up because I remembered liking My Little Pony when I was a kid and wanted to see what I thought as an adult. I found it enjoyable as a adult and didn't find it too cutesy.

This issue did not sit well with me for some reason. I am hoping that the second installment is an improvement.

Applejack and Pinkie Pie enter a food competition.

I really want to have the printed edition!

I will link my review from the compilation.

It really frustrates me that they vilified a victim.

This story was very sweet (pun intended,) but I won't be continuing with the series.
