An absolute 5/5 story about literally pastel colored horses. If you've ever had doubts about how serious this kids show can get, look nowhere else but this comic. A one shot that I believe anyone could read without much show context (although it does help).

Something was missing for me in this one, it had little detail in the background that other volumes have had. And it wasnt as funny, but I loved seeing the story of Sombra.

Super cute - I am really enjoying reading these My Little Pony graphic novels and this was just another adorable volume where the main group of friends had to come together, use their friendship magic along with other ponies to save the day.

Sombra and Radiant Hope’s story. Very good.

[Ashley · Rating 4 out of 5]

The rise and transformation of Sombra - an excellent volume. And the moral of the story for this issue is: "Once upon a time, there was a young pony who wasn't like the other ponies. All he wanted was a friend. And then, he found one. She was the most amazing friend that any pony could have asked for. He loved her and she loved him. But he didn't love himself. He was worried he was a monster. And how could anyone ever care about a monster? That's the thing about friendship, though. Your friends are friends because they can see the great things you have inside. They can see past looks and family and even your own worries. And they can see the goodness inside of you, even if you don't see it yourself."

Here's wishing everyone that kind of friendship :)

Yesss! This is what I want! King Sombra is back, and with him other villains who all have a beef with our favourite ponies! There is so much cool stuff happening in this issue, but in fear of spoiling I won't say much more! Read it, it's awesome!
