The untold first meeting of Twilight and baby Spike! Twilight is given her most difficult task yet by Princess Celestia when she is told to take care of a baby dragon who is quite a handful! Will Twilight learn the right lesson in caring for another?
Overall, MLP #40 provides a great story of how the close friendship between Twilight and Spike came to be. It's also a nice look at Twilight as a filly. (Plus we get to see more of her parents.) The art is fantastic, probably Brenda Hickey's best work. Aside from a continuity error, (it's not big enough to take away the perfect score) the issue is a superb read and one all MLP fans should check out. Read Full Review
The regular cover pictured above is done by this issue's artist; Brenda Hickey. Featuring a collage of photographs from Spikes earliest days as a baby dragon, under the watchful eye of Twilight, (who looks very stressed out.)The second cover is for the subscribers and has been done with pastel colouring pencils. A soft technique that is perfect for the image, with Twilight, baby Spike and her parents enjoying a trip to the beach. This one was created by Sara Richard.The third cover is by Jennifer L. Meyer, with a passed out Twilight cradling a little Spike. A touching scene and one that truly reflects the young fillies torn commitments, between study and Spike.And lastly the Hot Topic exclusive is a scene straight out of US Box Office Hit – The Hangover. Twilight holds the innocent Spike in a baby carrier, while wearing some trendy dark shades.My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic Issue 40 is available now from all the awesome comic book shops!

Regardless, the comic is good. Really good, even. Its one of the more mature issues Ive seen of MLP:FiM , but it works with its content in a way that melds itself well with its cute art style and world. Read Full Review
