I just find it weird, it's meant to be a G1 crossover thing and then they make up a bunch of new characters instead of using the established cast? They didn't do this with the Transformers crossover comic, right? I saw some panels from that and it looked like the usual cast, no new guys. :/ Like, I'm not asking for a strict adherence to the G1 cartoons here, I don't mind keeping things flexible, but what is the point of doing a cross-gen thing if you're just going to be using stuff loosely based on G1?? I don't get it.
No idea Carrehz. I like the colors on Blackbelle and Violet Shiver. Pity this is looking to be more G4 then a proper crossover.

I would think that would be easier for the writers, who are probably the same people, as then they don't have to do any research. But it's not a crossover really like that.
The first comic is out!SpoilerI didn't like it at all.

How come?I haven't read it myself (yet?), but from the sounds of it, it's not very G1-y. The Witches aren't really witches but are apparently ponies banished to the EQG world or something? The G1 ponies haven't showed up at all yet...
I'm with you on this one, Tealeaf, honestly was surprised at HOW disappointing it was...(Plot details under cut, I guess)SpoilerVOLCANO OF GLOOM, writers!!! Not "Gloom Volcano"!!! You know you're in for A Time when there's an error literally on page one, really sets the tone... I mean come ON, that's just basic stuff!I've gotta say, I REALLY hope they step up their game in issue 2... So far there's NO sign of G1, apart from the aforementioned screwed-up volcano name. The "witches" for some reason look like Equestria Girls (technicolour skin, hair etc, even their fashion sense is VERY EQG-y) with a bit of the Jem comic aesthetic thrown in for good measure...? Nothing like Reeka and Draggle. Supposedly they're R&D's daughters, but the only way you can tell is how they mentioned their mothers every couple of panels (this was really forced.. idk how to explain it exactly, but they just really kept going "oh yeah like our moms" a LOT, really shoving it down our throats? As if that "legitimizes" these chars' relationships to the old ones? IDK how else to explain it, but that stood out to me as being weirdly written). Otherwise they just hung around spouting modern dialogue and being super out of place...The rest of the comic was pure G4. No G1 ponies apart from the covers. :/ Really not impressed so far.I will say though, I did like how they included the alt. covers at the back of the comic, that was a very nice touch. Usually I just see that done with the trade paperbacks. So I'll give them that. But yeah, so far I'm not liking this whatsoever. I mean, I went into it with fairly low expectations (it was a "Let's see how it goes" not a "OMG I'm so excited!!" if that makes sense) but geez...
