Comic #2 released today...and it has a big problem

[lovesbabysquirmy]

Comic errors abound in massive quantity, no matter what the series.  I'm not sure that the artists care that much, honestly.  They are paid to draw and they do that.  But I don't think they sit in the washroom stall at work and tell themselves they suck because they forgot to give a pony wings.  As long as it's not a HUGE issue like, say, the main character missing a prominent feature, the studio considers the job done.    They don't apply the craftsmanship that a comic drawn/inked/colored/published by one individual person would.

It's actualy VERY easy to forget the wings, horns, eyelashes etc. I've done it several times. Once, I was turning a Pegasus base into a Unicorn base before I started colouring, and I forgot to remove the wings. I didn't notice until AFTER I had coloured it in.

@Appleponygal: I think you can get it from Forbidden Planet. I haven't double-checked that yet, though.

Off topic - but yes in the UK you can get the comics from Forbidden Planet, online and in store.

If I may play Devil's Advocate for a moment, sometimes Fluttershy forgets that she has wings.

does anyone have pictures they could post?

Seems pretty silly because aren't these supposed to be illustrated by fan art masters? It seems like a big mistake, like Superman flying around as Clark Kent the whole issue.

That is sad to hear

Wow, really..? Sigh... Sad to say that I'm not even that surprised anymore. Seems quality control on all new pony products just gets lazier and lazier.

What...?

Comic errors happen all the time, no reason to act like ALL quality control is terrible these days because of a few missing wings.

I'm sure the G1 comics had errors all the time.

Sigh.

And your point is?

Not everyone that is raising concerns or brings up an issue about G4 equals they are attacking it; as if bringing up G1 negates the complaints people have about G4. It doesn't just so you know. I don't quite get why you feel the need to bring up the G1 comic in a discussion about a mistake in the G4 comic.

And as far as the G1 comics go some of us don't even own a G1 comics and we were never able to purchase them back in the 80's.

Maybe instead of taking it as an attack on G4 you should consider that people might not be complaining because they hate G4, maybe they are complaining because they like it and want it to be better. Viewing every complaint about G4 as a attack and using the discussions to drag g1 into it makes me feel like your only purpose in the discussion is to find a way to belittle G1, instead of really offering a valid argument to the flaws being discussed.

As it happens, the comic is open beside me right now and indeed, Flutters is missing her wings in one of the panels. It's a shame that these errors happen, but I guess it's not a huge deal. It doesn't make the comic any less enjoyable, but it is odd that it went as far as it did without getting fixed.

Is it sad that I read this and think to myself, "Lol....I probably would never had noticed that." It sucks that it happened, but does it take away from the story? Was the story good? That would be my bigger concern.

Maybe she left them at home?

I will take some pictures this afternoon.
I was just very disappointed because IDW made suuuuch a big fuss over this series, and their artisit (who is a professional, this isn't just fanart) should have noticed her error. I would be upset if this were any other comic. It just seems like a mistake that shouldn't happen.

Yes, but professional doesn't mean perfect. Mistakes happen. I could see if they kept drawing Rainbow Dash instead of Fluttershy. I don't know. I guess I just sit on the other side of the fence on this one. lol. But again I ask....how is the story? Does it continue from comic 1? I don't know anything about these comics, and I am curious.

[HollowZero]

Obviously that part of the comic was too scary for Fluttershy, and Posey is her stunt double.

[Eternia]

the story is totally adorable! and #2 picks up right where #1 left off.
