    To be fair, I do love the cartoonish looks, it's just when the expressions go a bit too far into the "Applejack would never look like she's about to eat her friend's eyes" type thing. You just know she'd never look that HARSH at her friends.

    Yeah, from what I herd (ha, herd), the comic actually came out on Wednesday. I got my copies Friday night.

    Well, looks like I'll get this through the IDW app. Sounds pretty good.

    Oh, that has nothing to do with ponies, sorry. It stands for "Super Imaginative Chogokin", which is a line of toys. What they're famous for is taking one character's design and giving it a "Monster" redesign, for example, here is a character called "Kamen Rider OOO"

    And here is the SIC toy of him

    Basically, me and Sideswipe were talking about the monster redesigns of ponies x3
    Sorry for the confusion.

    No sweat, just wanting to feel included, lol. I'm familiar with the idea you're talking about, just didn't know it had an abbreviation, lol. Thanks! :)

    All in all, I'm SLIGHTLY annoyed at the sheer number of alt. covers. The 6 with individual ponies, ok. A 1-in-10 variant, ok. One more with a guest artist, fine. 8-10 for specific shops/websites? I could see one or two, but that many?

    Just a personal gripe, carry on.

    At least they're ridiculously fun alt. covers. That's got to count for something.

    They're basically comc book-sized high-quality art prints. You'd pay 5-10 bucks for that kind of thing anyway, and now you get a bonus story to go with it. I can totally see the appeal of collecting covers.

    I love the weird ass facial expressions the ponies have, it's what made the comic for me, they're so funny!

    My copy should be arriving tomorrow. I can't wait, especially after seeing it receive so much praise. I ordered the Larry's Comics variant (lmt to 750).
    Trust me, it could be a lot worse. People pay $20 for one comic all the time.

    I did notice that most, if not all, of the Alt covers contain either RD or Derpy or both. Though I do really want the Fluttershy/RD superhero cover.

    I'm fine with paying minimal prices to get it online x3
    That, and I'm not big on collecting covers anyway.

    Ooh! Where did you find out what the numbers are?

    Ok...

    I'm not either, I'm not even a comic guy, but I figured I would make an exception for ponies.

    Yeah, I got the 1-in-10 and will collect the full mane 6 covers, but that's probably it. I MAY get the main release alt. cover, but I doubt it, don't care for the art.
