‘My Little Pony Friendship is Magic’ #31 Reins in the Chaos
My Little Pony Friendship is Magic #31 picks up on the chaos caused in the last issue. The ponies of Ponyville stand divided over a fight over Ponyville Day. The argument was about if the Apples’ farm or Rarity’s shop should be recognized as the place that established Ponyville. Writer Christian Rice and artist Agnes Garbowska pick up again with the return of Twilight Sparkle to the now shimming tensions of the town as visitors from Cantorlot come. The writing comes again with a mixed feeling as the plot appears repeated and worn, but the characters are more rounded and truer to their nature. Garbowska’s art is serviceable to the comic with the cute style of each pony and the soft color palette. Together the art and the writing create a simple comic, but it still leaves a reader with a warm feeling inside.
