  The idea may be that Blueblood replaced her as Celestia's star pupil, but Princess Nightmare Moon takes her place in the sense that she is the one who turns herself around and seems like she'll be making friends with the Ponyville residents. Taking a key moment and attempting to deviate it like this is no easy feat, but the creative team pulls it off well. The art keeps the cartoon style of the tv show intact and Cook and Garbowska do it masterfully here. Cook's writing is great and the story flows well enough for most people to follow. The dialogue fits the characters and they all feel like the characters from the show. The one shot was great, and is quite an enjoyable read. The art, writing, and characters make the book.

  Exercises like this are a real indicator of the skill of a creative team, and she must subtly alter characters and situations, but do so in an organic manner, so that everything appears to flow naturally from one small, (but highly significant) DEVIATION. Read Full Review

  Certainly one of the most unique storylines we have had to date, that is a reverse reality to that of the MLP universe we know today. A one shot whose style I hope crops up again in the comic series as a filler arc, which will focus more on the characters that rarely get any storylines. Read Full Review
