lol the art changed again, but this time they're *much* closer to being on-model.

I guess the original artist (for the first 28 issues) took a break or left the company or something? Perhaps they had a few guest artists for the next few issues? I dunno, but I liked the original artstyle quite a bit.

Anyway, as for this issue it's not bad. Bit of a standard "the town is divided" plot (and they say "hands" and "foot" which isn't lore accurate at all) - but it works fine here since (as we know from the show) the town was founded by a combination of the Apple farm and Rich's shop. I bet the ending will be Twilight explaining that and they both get a plaque or something lol.

It's pretty funny (albeit it a bit worrying) how quickly the town falls apart when the mane six are absent lol. I know it's just so the plot can happen, but it's something I've noticed whilst we've been watching through the show.

3.5/5.
