EXCLUSIVE: My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic #60 Revealed—Synposis, Artists, and Writer!

Is that filly the sister to Sunset Shimmer?!?!? Seriously, she looks like a younger, more orange, version of the star of Equestria Girls! This is amazing! This is stupendous! This is...

Something to speculate about after checking out the full solicitation below the break!

EXCLUSIVE: My Little Pony: Legends of Magic #8 Revealed—Season 7 Finale Tie-in!

"I'm blue da ba dee da ba daa"

And the Legends of Magic series continues! Just what is going to happen in this chapter of the season 7 finale tie-in? Which by the time this issue is released, said finale will have already aired? I have no clue since the solicitation is a little on the vague side.

However something that isn't on the vague side is the fact fandom (and professionally published comic) artist Jennifer Hernandez (ChibiJenHen) has been hired by IDW Publishing to produce the retailer incentive cover for the issue! After checking out the solicitation below the break, be sure to give her a nice shout out on Twitter!

EXCLUSIVE: High Res Cover for My Little Pony: The Cutie Map Comic Adaptation Revealed!

"Life is so grand in our town..."

Hard to believe it's been two years since GlimGalm--dang it Seth! You've got me calling Starlight that! So, yes it's been two years since we first encountered Starlight Glimmer. Yes it is very hard to believe. Know what else is hard to believe? That it's been a month since the last time our good friends at IDW Publishing sent us their MLP comic solicitations for an exclusive reveal!

Time is flying way too fast. And as is my habit when it comes to these solicitations, the Trade Paperbacks go up first to wet your appetite for what is to come.  So, what is coming out in about 40 minutes? I'll leave that as a surprise, but until then, be sure to discuss and remember what stood out to you the most about the season 5 premiere episodes after the break!

Nightly Discussion #1176

Man, a nap sounds great right now! Even though I got a lot of sleep after getting home last night I'm still pretty beat.

Evening my friends! Ready to chat?

PMV: Moments Like This / Boulevard of Broken Dreams

We start off this one with a PMV collab from a bunch of really impressive editors, filled to the brim with motion graphics and generally smooth scene switches, followed by a more traditional style based on Boulevard of Broken Dreams.

Head on down below for both!

Music: Vylet - Treachery (feat. Chang31ing) [Hybrid Trap]

Another new track from Vylet's Mystic Acoustics album means another new banger of a piece to feast your ears on! This one is a collaboration with Chang31ing, and features some really neat sound design, alongside exceptional percussion, gorgeous vocals from Vylet and even some guitar in the break. Check it out below!

Poll Results: Who do we hook Starlight Glimmer up with for some shipping?!

Looks like we have our new ultimate pony shipping pair. I guess this fandom can't resist it's lesbian horses even seven years on.

• The Mechanics of Gratitude

And get your soapboxes below!

Cover Music: Sable Symhpny - Monday Blues / EnergyTone - Giggle At The Ghostly / Flittzy - Falter

We have some pretty kickass covers here! Sable Symphony has produced the only full cover I've heard so far of one of the tracks from the EqG shorts, Monday Blues, and the combination of strong vocals, heavy guitar and subtle synth elements combine excellently. EnergyTone is back from a break with a russian vocal cover of a season 1 classic that also rocks things up a bit, and Flittzy has put together a really nice synth pop-y cover of Crystal Slave's Falter - his style definitely fits in well with it. You can check all of them out below the break!

Both of these gentelemen have been involved with the MLP Comics since before issue one, and in Bobby's case has been involved with every single issue of MLP ever produced by IDW.

BronyCon 2017 PMV Contest Winners Showcase

Quite a lot of awesome stuff was displayed over at BronyCon this year. Now that the event is over, the videos have been uploaded to Youtube for public consumption. These are the winners, as chosen by the PMV community in various categories at the annual contest held over there.

Head on down below the break to check them out!

Music: Mane In Green - The Lost Island (feat. Mathilde) [Orchestral Electronic]

Mane In Green's music just seems to keep getting more epic! This is the third act of his quest of the lost sapphire series and, divided into 5 chapters, it totals 12 minutes of awesomeness! There's plenty of beautiful orchestral sounds, soft electronic elements, and a bunch of the chapters have some lovely vocals through them as well. It's really cool to see such extensive and story heavy releases like this, so do make sure to check it out if you like that kind of thing too!

Wut: My Little Fortress - Battle For Engineer

Why is it that every time we crossover with TF2 in this fandom, things get super weird? This is either magical, or terrible. I can't really tell. It's impressive editing though!

Artist Training Grounds VII - Day 23

Phew guys... I just got home not too long ago from the eclipse and man was it something amazing. You can't really describe how it feels seeing something like that. It's so... magical and almost mystical. If you did miss it, you all have another chance at it in 2024 when the US gets an eclipse again!

Anyhow, I know I'm a little late so let's get this party started! I see you guys created another awesome 95 ponies bringing us up to 3419 ponies in total.

For tonight's prompt I think we'll do something I bet both of us can relate. For tonight I'd like you guys to Draw an utterly exhausted pony / Draw a pony at wit's end. Considering how long I've stayed up for this eclipse I'm more of the former, heh.

You can find our submitter as always here! Good luck and have fun guys!
