Pony Comic Book Thread-IDW is Party Canon

And now we have this.
Which seems to imply the existence of 4 one-shots throughout 2025.

We have the Cadence story, which we knew about. But, it also sounds like there's a Violette Rainbow story, a New Years story, and a missing persons detective story.

The thing is the Cadence one shot is extra-sized. So if the entire collection is only 136 pages, then that would imply every story averages out to about 34 pages. Which is more than a normal issue, but kind of small for individual one-shots. So, I'm not sure if they're all going to be 4 individual one-shots or if 2 specials will have 2 stories within them. I'm personally leaning towards there being 4 one-shots, because that's probably the way to get the most money. *shrug*

Either way, this means we are still getting a little G5 content! It's not just going to be G4! G5 lives! Sorta!

Well, for a limited definition of "back", anyway. Probably for 4 comics at $6 a piece. One special per quarter or so. Maybe we'll get another mini to go alongside them or maybe not. But, it's SOMETHING, which is better than nothing.

So, the four one shots for 2025 all have connecting cover variants...ending with Sunny literally flying off into the sunset.

...This sure FEELS final.

But, it's not done by Justasuta, so...maybe it's not?

IDW...please stop doing these connecting covers! I'm starting to develop a Pavlovian Response to them! Every time I see them, I think you're losing the license! You gotta stop doing this to me!

Okay, so we don't know IDW is losing the license. Probably not. But, with G5 ending the way it is, I guess maybe these specials might be the last G5 comics? Maybe? I don't know. They keep giving me mixed signals. I've predicted that IDW would lose the license SO many times, and I've never been right. But, IDW HAS always scaled back after each time they do this. From a ongoing, to series of miniseries, to a series of one shots. How could they POSSIBLY scale back any farther?!

Chances are, we'll probably get another series of one shots after this. If only because it seems weird for IDW to lose the license in the middle of the year. But, I don't know what's going on. And neither does IDW or Hasbro, probably. Stop messing with my HEART, IDW!

I believe everything is on autopilot until Discovery Family's remaining rights to G4 expire. Then Hasbro can renegotiate their deal with IDW or shop the brand around. They won't change a thing until then.
