Librarian Note: There is more than one author by this name in the Goodreads database.

I graduated from the College for Creative Studies in 2004 with a BFA in illustration, my love of cartooning and comics has led me to where i am today.

I've done licensed work for DC, Marvel, Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, My Little Pony:Friendship is Magic, Fraggle Rock and more. I love being a nerd, so being able to draw nerdy things for a living is the best thing ever.

I'm married to the best guy ever. Ryan keeps me grounded.

I have a daughter, Grayson, who is my booger-y little destroyer of worlds.

I like my cats... a LOT.
...Our dog isn't too bad.

I live in a state shaped like a mitten.

The constant support of my family, pets, friends, and even complete strangers, is what drives me to succeed in art. Thank you everyone, because of you, I am what I am.

Which means... I'm all your fault.

Cook & Price are definitely my favorite team. Their work is like really well-done fanfiction, and I love what they do with Luna and Celestia! This story particularly caught my eye because of Starswirl's involvement. He's always been a character that has a lot of potential that they haven't even explored in the show.

This issue is the start of a four-issue arc entitled "Reflections."

This is an awesome start to what has the potential to be an awesome arc. I love seeing younger, slightly less wise Celestia, and the idea of there being another mirror to an alternate Equestria is pretty cool.

This comic arc is genuinely my Roman Empire.

Those who are observant have noticed this one pony in the background of everything, he finally talks.
I love the front seat Luna takes in this issue and I love her pretending to be Celestia to cover up her disappearances. I love all the depth cook and price give to Celestia and Luna's castle specifically Luna's possum and the butler. (But also shoutout Luna AND Celestia royal guards!) Also shoutout to how Price draws the two sisters I love their hair like this.
I believe we see Starswirl's design much earlier than it was revealed in the series. I wish the series kept him more cooky like they do in this installment, it just creates a more interesting character.
I love exploring the relationship between Celestia and Starswirl and of course, the possibility of alternate universes. Makes you wonder if the comic universe is an alternate universe to the show..

The drama between Starswirl and Celestia is SOOOO GOOD. I love it so much. Probably my favorite arc of the series.

Finally, the Mirror Sombra arc! He was so underutilised in the show, but it makes for a tragic romance with Celestia during this arc lol.

Also neat to get some more backstory for Star Swirl. He's also underutilised in the show, but I've often wondered how he became such a legendary wizard.

This is another Cook/Price issue and definitely worth the read.

Celestia has gone missing and Luna calls in the Mane 6 to help her find her sister. They travel to the secret lair of Star Swirl the Bearded in search of information while Spike and Luna played various board games (which will make you chuckle).

It's Cook & Price! There's Luna and young, adolescent, unwise Celestia. That is awesome, because young Celestia should be featured more in official releases. The thing about Cook & Price is that their work feels like well-done fanfiction, except that whatever they write becomes part of the official canon.

Read this issue for Luna. She totally stole the show.
