Comic: Rainbow Dash:The All Lantern

Source / Click Image for Full
This time around, we have some Rainbow Dash with various lantern rings.   I'm also throwing a bonus colored version of that really popular "grown up spike" comic down there too. It's worth double posting for color!

There is a video version too for those that don't feel like scrolling.

What on Equestria...

that sad comic again :<

joetraincool said...

First one was funny.

I still get sad over the second one, but I think it was more dramatic in pencil. Or maybe it's just because I saw that one first.

Duskfly said...

Heart wrenched again. >.<

The sketches were way better the first time around.

Farnor said...

The best part of MLP being a cartoon thought for little girls is that I know I don't have to worry about such things happening

DawnOfTime said...

that video was great, but the music ruined it for me.

Thraxen said...

The other video version, with the black and white pictures, hits harder in my opinion. The music's more... emotive.

Stormcaller said...

I promised myself I wouldn't cry...I wouldn't cry..

Baaahhhhhhhaaaaaaaaa!!!

Ponies y u make me cry?!

SgtGarand said...

#2 My God, my heart....it was not ready. Manly tears ;_;

Marvin Martian said...

Seth you jackass.
I was happy until you brought up this comic again -_-

Blightmare said...

I admit. Last one teared me up.

Drazla said...

Oh no! Sad Twilight makes me sad!

SuperGiantRobot said...

Still don't find the second one sad; he was always going to have to leave at some point.

Frankly, I'm more PROUD of Twilight than sad for her; the depth at which her vision upset her says a lot for how close she really is to Spike.

She'll make a good mother someday.

Takata said...

The last comic..... Too sad to be true ;_;

D. Shadows said...

1. Spectrum Latern will have an emotional breakdown before saving the day.

2. Twilight is a parent to him, she is his mother in all but blood.

2-1. The bigger problem is why she hasn't aged a day throughout the comic. She's going to live forever and will possibly outlive her son.

Vabla said...

Agreed that the pencil version had a lot more impact.

Harwick said...

Dammit... you keep reposting versions of that sad comic! It's like having to watch "Jurassic Bark" over and over again. Some of us need to be productive and can't curl up in an emotional ball for the day!

KTS said...

1. Never trust Dash infront of rings

2. It's sad. But I think the problem with it is Twilight will die eventually. Leaving Spike to deal with Twilight's child.

Boo said...

1. Haha silly RD.

2. ;_;

Bronyboy said...

Oh my gosh! They posted my comic! This calls for a sexy party!

doomknight said...

is twi immortal or something? I'm pretty sure she will die LONG before spike hits adult-hood, really the comic should be about HIM coping with the fact he's gonna outlive what is essential his mother

Ford said...

@D. Shadows

She may be Spike's surrogate mother, but she acts more like his big sister.

Vendix said...

I dont think Spike outgrowing the Library will be a problem. Dragons are confirmed to have ridiculously long lives. Twilight wont live to see Spike grow that much.

Dusty the Royal Janitor said...

OH MY GOD, DERPY'S EYES ARE STRAIGHT IN THE 50 MILLION BANNER! WHAT SORCERY IS THIS?!!

NinesTempest said...

that sad comic is still sad. :(

Wierdplatformer said...

I firmly believe that Dash is a white lantern now!

Dill said...

I've read the sad one 20 times and it STILL chokes me up reading through it. I'm counting my blessings.

Timber said...

I really hate seeing Twilight cry

Mike said...

I feel like I've said this at some point already, but that second comic is awesome.

Octavia said...

Heh, that first comic... nice. "And you've already put the ring on haven't you?" "Maybe..." lol

And awww, that second comic is so darn sad! It just breaks my heart when Twilight starts to cry. :'( But yay for a colored version and a video version.

Vabla said...

Just because dragons live for thousands of years doesn't mean it takes that long for them to grow up.

Jolt Masslight said...

Insta-tear when i got to the end of Grown up Spike :'(
Breaks me when ponies cry..

Municipal Engines said...

You know, the second comic is one of the very few things in this fandom that made my eyes well up.

jodyjm13 said...

Count me among those who think the black & white sketch version of the second comic works better; no slight meant to the colorist, who did a good job, there's just something more direct about the original version. And I'm sorta with SuperGiantRobot; while I find the comic a little sad, mostly I'm proud of the way Twilight's handling it.

The first comic is an amusing start to a promising premise; I look forward to seeing what's next...

Applejack85 said...

first one was too funny, second so very sad...curse these conflicting emotions!!! X.x

private-enemy said...

Damn it Seth, that second comic AGAIN. I'm STILL in the process of trying to recover from the emotional devastation wrought by "My Little Dashie" and now you go and remind me of that comic again. I will have no more tears left to shed at this rate. ;_;

Mango~DERP said...

everytime i read that #2nd comic, i always cry ._.

Missinghomebrony said...

SAD STUFF MAKES MY EYES RAIN.

uzqap said...

i was just thinking what privat-enemy said
now going to trink something to refill my eyes

Pyrobug said...

...but how would a pony wear a ring?

Ficksitup said...

MY HEART.

IT FEELS.

IT FEELS SADNESS! AAAAAHHH! Confound this Spike growing up comic. :'(

MLP_Dragon said...

I started tearing up as I read the Spike comic.

Also, this is my first comment on here. :D

Ardashir said...

@Rainbow Dash With those power rings, curiosity won't just strike, it'll come down on your rainbow-maned head like a dinosaur-killing meteor.

Though the thought of Rainbow Dash as the White Lantern does sound like it'd be one cool idea.

Ardashir said...

@Pyrobug *Raging Nerd Moment* The Oan power rings have been shown as being able to transform themselves so their wearer can use them even if they don't have fingers.

And if worst comes to worst, Dashie can just sport one as a piercing in her ear or nostril or the like.

kriss1989 said...

I think that's a violet ring....meaning Star Sapphire, a.k.a. the Love Lantern. For the one everypony is shipped with....clever girl.

Bartek said...

My eyes, I can sense tears. I feel sorry for Twilight. I hope in my heart, that everything will turn out alright.

Ardashir said...

@kriss1989 If you look for the artist's account on DA you'll see that he drew Dashie as a member of every Lantern Corps.

La Barata said...

That comic...
I am a security guard. I'm 6'3". I weigh 230 lbs. I am essentially a carnivore. I have a scarbover one eye from being hit with a broken bottle at work. I've been hit with sticks, rocks and other sundry bludgeons on the job. Several weeks ago, someone tried to stab me at work. I broke his face with my kneecap. In other words, I am manly as fuck.

HOW IN THE NAME OF LUNA DID YOU MAKE ME CRY WITH A COMIC ABOUT PASTEL COLOURED PONIES?!

La Barata said...

*scar over goddamn you autocorrect

P. Pony Ponyson said...

Dear god, that second one.
Cue the manly tears.

Chase said...

So many manly tears right now. So many.

SuperGiantRobot said...

Still don't find the second one sad. All I feel is pride for Twilight.

str8tUPbr0ny said...

damn, the second comic really got to me, you gotta make every precious moment last

SprintF said...

Spike is the best pony.

kriss1989 said...

@ArdashirYes she was drawn as such, but the ring in question on the table is Violet.

ChowderAssassin said...

I am a bold, emotionless man who feels bad for nothing no matter what.
And then I read the second comic. And I almost shed a tear.

DashAttack said...

I cried manly tears over the second one. Even if it is technically fanon it has to logically happen, so thinking about it sucks. :(

Bemmo said...

Third panel Spike looks badass.
*read rest of comic*
Spiiiike nooooooo *trails off as heart stops working*

IXImixi said...

Am I the only one here who feels comforted and happy for twilight at the end of #2? :}

jimmynator said...

for the people who hate the ending of the first comic
imagine this after the pic where spike left:
after one week:
spike comes flying back to ponyville
twilight asks what he's doing here en he says: "you thought i was gone forever? that's stupid im inviting you guys to the house/cave warming party."

i mean he's a dragon who can easily fly all over equestria, so i think he would visit sometime don't you?

jimmynator said...

i mean ending of the second comic...
fail

SCOOTALOO! said...

I cried at the second one :(

mephitislotor said...

@IXImixi
No, but you, me, and SuperGiantRobot seem to be in the minority.

IXImixi said...

@mephitislotor
Who?
*looks up*
ohai thar! Didn't notice ya thar! Y'all coulda bit me britches from up thar!!
Anyway ya the comic is sad. It's bittersweet. It tastes like the factors god put in life to make you and me a better, stronger, wiser individuals! That's why when I look at this comic, I feel the pain, and also the love and compassion coming from two directions!

flutterguy58 said...

first one is weird

the second one is deep, very deep. i love comics that tug at the heartstrings. we need more like those.

flutterguy58 said...

hey seth, is okay if i used the second one in my story, with your permission, of course?
