I don't have any fears or concerns about the portrayals of the G1 characters personally! Im very excited for the Generations comic, I think it will be a lot of fun. I have a lot of "out there" headcanons about how the G1 world works so I don't have a right to fuss about canon/fanon/comic interpretations.
The only thing that kills me is that the covers Celesse is doing are the Retailer Incentive ones, so its like one out of every 100 printed will have that cover per issue, and they will be VERY expensive
That's how I feel too! After all, a new reboot or remake doesn't take anything away from the original tv show/movie. So a new interpretation of G1 characters doesn't take away anything from the 80's characters we love. It's just a new interpretation! And I think it'll be fun to see how these comic creators represent the characters. Will the G1 ponies be from far in the G4 past? Or the far future? Or an alternate dimension? I can't wait to find out!
I didn't know that comics did such things as "chase covers."

It's just a new interpretation! THIS!! This is how I feel about new versions of things in general, whatever the new version does, it doesn't erase the old version(s) from existence, it's just a new version.

Really adds to their collect-ability now.There's usually always a "Cover A" and "Cover B" and you can find both at your local comic shop. Sometimes there will even be a "Cover C". Then there's the retailer incentives I mentioned, which are very rare and made so comic shops will order more in hopes of getting one of these rare covers. Then there's retailed exclusive covers, so certain chain shops can get special covers. I have a lot of FIM issues that are hot topic or hastings exclusives!Heck, sometimes you can even get blank covers at conventions and commission artists to draw a one of a kind cover for you!I really only collect MLP, Care Bear, and Godzilla comics so I don't go too crazy but I will buy multiple covers if they aren't too expensive secondhand
Grackle and Dyre, the young granddaughters of the evil witch Hydia, have set out to destroy all of pony-dom! And even worse-their plan might be working! Friendship begins to fall apart as their lackeys Black Belle, Shadow Storm, and Violet Shiver wreak havoc in Ponyville!
I don't know anything about comics, so hopefully my questions aren't too stupid. But, where do you buy these? Are they online special order only?We have a couple comic shops in the area, and I've been specifically on the lookout for these but have yet to come across them. Like I said, I don't really collect or read comics, and I really only want these "RI" cover, so I don't know if that's going to make them harder to find. Also, I probably missed it, but how many issues will this mini-series be?
Has anyone actually read these yet?

(How reliable are IDW's solicitations, does anyone know?)
