ReplyDeleteNow for a serious and content related post...
ReplyDeleteOOOH OOOH OOOH a new equestria Prevails comic! Sick!
Is awesome. This.
ReplyDeleteI already can't wait for more.
ReplyDeleteSuh-weeeeet, this is amazing art!
ReplyDeleteAnd what a way to start off a comic epic! All my stars, internets, and interest. Can't wait for the next chapter.
Something to read on my drive home from Las Vegas, yay
ReplyDeleteThis is fuckin' awesome.
ReplyDeleteSeriously, more of this will be glorious. Hopefully it's a good war story, but... we'll see.
HOLY SHIT FUCKING HELL YEAH :D
ReplyDeleteThis is awesome and depressing at the same time for entirely different reasons.
ReplyDeleteBeautifully done so far.
ReplyDeleteLove this art style so much.
ReplyDeleteNeed... more...
ReplyDeleteSeriously, though, that was epic.
[SPOILERS]
From what I can tell, the elements somehow got stranded on the moon after wiping out a griffon attack force. Is that right? If so, I kinda wonder how they even got there.
[/SPOILERS]
Also,
ReplyDeleteDDEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRPPPPPPPPPPYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!
Epic doesn't even begin to cover it. I'm excited to see what comes next. Whatever it is, I can tell it's going to be awesome.

ReplyDeleteSo much to take in already, it really is off to an amazing start. I look forward to following this epic journey. Absolutely magnificent.
ReplyDeleteI hear that chanting from the Dark Knight Rises Trailer in my head right now...
ReplyDeleteIt's finally happened - the full-on comic I always hoped would arrive. YESSSSSSSS.
ReplyDeleteThis was well done. Equestria Prevails always impresses, but this goes above and beyond. Amazing work.
I'm in the first one!!!
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately I can't get to the other parts because it would slow my downloading speed.
ReplyDeleteOh man this is going to be so awesome, loved the pieces of art this guy has done.
ReplyDeleteDerpy's eyes looks fine in the prologue, I'm assuming her eye is going to get injured in a battle to reflect the General Derpy with an eye patch design we've seen before.
Oh and the artist/author is in NZ! Awesome.
Don't get to see many fellow NZ bronies, especially ones as talented as this.
This
ReplyDeleteis
the best.
Very nicely done comic!
ReplyDeleteI am SO excited! Epic doesn't even being to describe!
ReplyDeleteInstant headcannon, however this ends it will always be the series finale for me.
Oh my goodness. Now we're finally seeing some backstory to the intriguing imagines Equestria Prevails had posted before.
ReplyDeleteThis is amazing so far.
Too. Fucking. Awesome.
ReplyDeletebut i dont have an account for deviantart :C
ReplyDeleteNice! The art is fantastic and the story is intriguing. I'm looking forward to more.
ReplyDeleteThat was sooooo good!
ReplyDeleteThe art and story were FANTASTIC!
Manly tears were shed...
ReplyDeleteFeels like this is based off a fanfic or such. Poor hurt Derpy. :'( It's looking like a good story and comic so far.
ReplyDeleteThis may be the beginning of one of the fandom's greatest graphic novels.
ReplyDeleteI think it already is, but what I mean to say is that this is likely to be one of the most memorable.
Best MLP:FiM based comic... EVER
ReplyDeleteI'm soooo asking permission to make a full-fledged book print out of it once it's done.
Every once in a while something like this comes along and blows my mind. Before it's been some notacleverpony music, then it was stories like FoE or Eversleep, and now it;s an epic comic with amazing art. The amount of talent in this community is freakin incredible.
ReplyDeleteI kind of wonder what would Ms. Faust think of this. Not because I think she'd disapprove, but because it falls so far from the lightheartedness of the original product.
ReplyDeleteOne would hope she'd proper trip balls over it, because dayum.
That's amazing!
ReplyDeleteSuddenly, epic out of nowhere. We're getting context for all these epic pictures we've been seeing.
ReplyDeleteI only hope we get a happy ending, though. You can never tell with these sorts of things.
Damn son, this looks like some heavy shit! I love the artwork too, it is absolutely impeccable! And to top it off a fellow New Zealand brony, man you are doing us all proud!!!! :D
ReplyDeleteI'm i the only who had an advert in the top left corner! i couldn't see a single comic D:
ReplyDeletexD im reading it while listing to "Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy" :3
ReplyDeleteNightly Roundup's kinda late tonight...
ReplyDeleteI find it interesting how things dissimilar in origin can be so parallel. On our Mush (Equestrian Dawn) Luna is indeed the military leader of Equestria. Celestia is the Political leader. Together they work better then separate. It also is how we explained ponies calling times of war Dark Days of Equestria. Because that was when Luna was leading. It also explains why Celestia, the elder sister, needed the Elements to bring NMM down when she was using Luna. Luna has much more experience with combat magical and physical. There is of course much more to this story but this thread is not about our mush. I will say this. The illustrations and words are masterfully crafted, each one bringing the fullest of emotion. IF anything were added or taken from it the whole would be less for it. Bravo.
ReplyDeleteThat was just epic, can't wait to see more.
ReplyDeleteMore please...
ReplyDelete.....
.....
..pretty please?
Derpy is a general. Poor griffons better run for their lives or otherwise they're doomed.
ReplyDeleteGreat artwork... I eagerly await more.
ReplyDelete...someone typed that they thought this the best comic ever? not better than the one with aflfalfa monster
...Lauren? O_O ahem (sorry, I mean) Mrs. Faust...?
ReplyDelete...Lauren? O_O ahem (sorry, I mean) Mrs. Faust...?
ReplyDeleteWell that looks... just a little epic... will be watching that space.
ReplyDeleteOh wow, now this is something truly special!
ReplyDeleteSo that picture with Derpy and Luna from yesterday is a part of this comic? Awesome!
ReplyDelete7-star it!
ReplyDeleteWithout a doubt, the greatest MLP:FiM comic I have ever read. It's beautiful, it's emotional, it's epic, and it's awesome all rolled into one.
ReplyDeleteI have mixed feelings about this.
ReplyDeleteOn one hand, the idea of ponies using the Elements of Harmony as a WMD that literally kills enemies (many of which were possibly just following orders) flies in the face of everything the show teaches us.
On the other hand, this is shaping up to be something completely epic.
I approve of this. It is truly awesome to both look at and read. Hopefully this will continue on.
ReplyDeleteThis comic shattered the awesome barrier and is currently traveling at Dash 2.1
ReplyDelete@Shiranai
ReplyDeleteMy impression is that they were doing something with the Elements that hadn't been done before, and they didn't realize how catastrophic the results would be.
Okay for those unfamiliar with this work what exactly is Equestria Prevails? Other than an artist on deviantart that has some amazing pictures.
ReplyDeleteI love all their comics
ReplyDeleteBut this is what happend to the guard after I left?
@jodyjm13
ReplyDeleteWe don't really know the entire back story behind it, so you may be right. I don't see Celestia as someone who would direct Twilight to misuse the Elements unless it was seen as an absolute necessity. Of course, the full capabilities of the Elements and the mechanics behind them are mostly unknown to viewers of the show, and probably will remain so.
Holy Genocide, death and war in MLP, and it looks like outta the show. Just for an older audience.
ReplyDeleteWell done.
Can´t wait to see the actual and whole story though.^^
OMGOMGOMG its a Prologue :D
ReplyDeleteOMGOMGOMG its a Prologue :D
ReplyDeleteI love this sort of thing. A great tale that can not be held within a half hour show that lets us explore more of Equestria that would never be allowed to be canon.
ReplyDelete@ChaosDX1
ReplyDeleteIf a series specifically for older viewers were to be spun off FiM (unlikely to happen), I would personally prefer to see something that trumps up the fantasy elements. This sort of story looks, so far, to be very similar to how I'd envision such a show.
I really like this, this looks to be EPIC.
ReplyDeleteI really like this, this looks to be EPIC.
ReplyDeleteamazing ... just amazing ... can't wait to see more
ReplyDeleteInteresting story, looking for more to learn of it. And yet the unusual spirit it has. With words cannot explain.
ReplyDeleteThis is so much AWESOME in one package!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI've already read through it about 5 times!
@The Commander
ReplyDeleteGilda: "There's a storm coming, Rainbow Dash. You and your lame-o friends better batten down the hatches, because when it hits, you and all these ponies are going to wonder how you thought you could live so large and leave so little for us griffons..."
Okay, so Gilda probably wouldn't say anything quite THAT epic, but I couldn't help it. The idea just popped in there. :P
Nice to see this series finally getting off the ground. If anyone is interested there's already a sort of fan fiction for this series called "Equestria: Total War" over on fimfiction http://www.fimfiction.net/story/2354/Equestria%3A-Total-War
ReplyDeleteJust realize that it has almost nothing to do with the original story besides featuring General Derpy. I won't spoil anything but just imagine that the main character is Derpoleon Bonahooves and you'll get a good idea of where the story goes.
there are some SERIOUSLY talented ponies in this fanbase...
ReplyDeleteAmazing. Can't wait for more.
ReplyDelete@John
ReplyDeleteAnd look what happened. All the griffins are now dead. Way to go, Gilda!
There are only two possible endings when a revolution is begun out of nothing more than class envy: dictatorship or destruction.
test lol
ReplyDeleteWish they would finish this, it's truly amazing...
