From the Vault: My Little Pony Friendship is Magic: The Friendship Express DVD

Posted on by


I’ve always had a complicated relationship with the My Little Pony franchise. I always really liked them aesthetically and spent a good deal of time trying to convince my sister to let me play with the ones she had. The ponies often became mounts for He-Man and Nien Nub, and my sister was OK with it as long as I was willing to let her play with Teela every once in a while.

But when it came to the animated shows I usually found them saccharine, trite and even disingenuous. Which was sad because I always liked the toy design. I wanted to like the show, but I just couldn’t.

Drawing with Water

This is both awesome and insane at the same time.  You’ll have to watch all the way to the end to see what the heck is happening, and when you see the reveal, your jaw drops.

All this from the graphic novel Alan’s War:  The Memories of G.I. Alan Cope.

Across a generation, a deep friendship blossomed between Alan Cope and author/artist Emmanuel Guibert. From it, Alan’s War was born – a graphic novel that is a deeply personal and moving experience, straight from the heart of the Greatest Generation – a unique piece of WWII literature and a ground-breaking graphic memoir.

Thanks to Scott Kurtz for that heads up.

I love the art style of Arcana Comics’ Clockwork Girl, and the story is very good too.
