Comics: Discordantly // Cutie Mark Conundrum



You know, every once in a while you come across a comic that just makes you make incoherent noises at how amazing it is. The above is one of those comics. Discordantly, from Crappyunicorn, is finished, and you can find all the pages of it behind the picture. Click it. You won't be disappointed.

In case that's too serious for you, have a more lighthearted, but also multi-part comic from PumpkinHipHop. Find the first page after the picture.

I can't view them cause i'm at school and DA is gimp at my school. D=

Cloud Dasher said...

wow the first one was amazing, poor discord.

Jelfes said...

Sorry, Cereal, #1 is a repost!

Wierdplatformer said...

Oh, come on! Now I really need to know what happens in the second one!

Urobolus said...

If the first comic was canon, I'd **** my pants. Would've definitely thrown Discord to the top of my favorite villains.

Ford said...

Isn't the first one a repost?

She's a bookworm, she lives in a library, and she makes puns? Talk about my dream girl...

'Discordantly' is truly magnificent, and a fine example of how we shouldn't worry too much about whether a comic or a fanfic follows the canon perfectly.

Jelfes said...

I have no idea what's going on in #2, I'm just gonna guess that Twilight thinks NMM is coming back.

Raven said...

I believe the first one IS a repost, BUT most likely because the guy that made it finished the comic arc. Also, would love to see more of that second's type of art style. =D

@Cloud Dasher
"poor discord"? He reacts to a rejection by plunging an entire planet into chaos and committing genocide, and you say "poor discord"?

moocow1452 said...

Wow. I thought the first one was excellent. Clearly I was wrong...

Jelfes said...

@jodyjm13
I don't recall any genocide in the story, just sayin'

MPerce said...

First one gave me chills.....

James Corck said...

Those eyes on Spike scare me O_O Talk about Uncanny Valley. The rest of the comic is beautiful though, love the lighting.

Re: First one:

Best fanon comic series yet?
Best fanon comic series yet.

I especially loved how it came full circle with the appreciation for beauty.

I really hope we see Discord again. This backstory is amazing and I really wish it could be canon. Discord is at once both a lovable character and one you love to hate. I really hope we get to look into his story more. If only Celestia and Luna's battle with him.

Blinky said...

Very interesting backstory in #1, wouldn't mind it being canon.

#2 has a nice atmosphere, it really feels like it's the middle of the night.

Daniel the Brony (Mama's so proud...) said...

@Jelfes

It was attempted genocide of the Alicorns. He thought he had killed them all, but then Celestia and Luna showed up.

Delichon said...

He might be a crappy unicorn, but he's an awesome artist.
Really-really good.

I can only wish him all the best in his future works from the bottom of my heart.

#1 - 403-You are forbidden.
Well, time for the next one.
#2 ...Words cannot describe how pissed that comic has made me.

P. Pony Ponyson said...

Can someone explain to me why DA doesn't want me to get my daily dose of pony?

RommyWolf said...

Discord didn't fall off the slippery slope so much as take a flying leap, it seems.

Applejack85 said...

well now both of those were really good. Always amazing to see what ppl can do with the characters and content.

greenie-pie said...

First one is for sure a repost. Seth posted it, along with the following 3 continuations awhile ago. I'll forgive you though...

Here it is, posted one week ago today :)

Lazulic said...

Yes, the first one has already been posted, maybe it was so awesome the reposted it!

"to be continued" is now my worst enemy. thanks

Octavia said...

The style of the first comic, those styles always feel slightly cheesy to me I guess. Maybe a bit over-the-top or dramatic. But even still, it's a very nice comic of course.

Second comic "to be continued". Oooh, cliffhanger. I wonder what she's writing to Celestia about. Since Spike mentioned Mare in the Moon, I'm guessing this will be about Discord. But the book cover "Cutie Mark Conundrum", makes me uncertain. Guess I'll have to wait and see. :)

Cátsy said...

gah you made me think the artist from #1 concluded the story but the link got goofed up! yes that is a great comic worth posting up more then once case anyone missed it though =3

Draconaes said...

The artist did conclude the story. And it's not really a repost: parts 5 and 6 weren't posted before. (Technically they haven't been posted now either, but part 1 has links to the next part.)

Magnanimous said...

I'm a little hesitant about opening these... "every once in a while you come across a..." is the exact same phrase that was used to describe Spiderses... That was the worst beating my troll shields ever took. They were crumpled and charred, and the smell lingers to this day. *shudders*

Philweasel said...

The best villain’s backstory always makes you feel sorry for them, while making you understand that redemption is not a realistic option and they still need to be put down. This is one of them.

Dr. Applejack said...

FINALLY Discordantly is on ED. I've been waiting for it to get here. Best fan comic for sure.

Atiarotias said...

jesus, that "I've had enough with your.." Spike look is scary

ZarPaulus said...

Apparently Discord hasn't read the Evil Overlord list, "When wiping out a race that threatens me, I will make sure to be thorough and not leave a sole survivor who will kill me out of revenge."

Whitbane said...

Oh God, these comics.
Some people are too skilled, TOO SKILLED.
Both are awesome.
