>My verdict is that is too soon to judge.
same here honestly.
>I've seen some confusion from others on this conflicting with the previous minor verse works but I'm not familiar enough with the comic storyline.
that confusion comes because >>2211 >>2212 >>2213 meeting the pony of shadows would mean that they are interacting with another universe. He appeared in Legends of Magic arc and he was supposed to be the alternate version of Stygian.
Basically what it does here is that they use meta context to introduce the problem, it´s used as the excuse that Luna has to rescue her sister, even though that pony of shadows may not exist anymore.
It´s certainly confusing because it follow a meta universe created from IDW and not based on the show, but even Stygian admits that despite introducing the problem with his own dreams, the pony of shadows barely has an influence in the current timeline.

>Them treating the princess' powers once again as an obstacle to a good story over simply making them weaker so we don't have to pretend they're supper strong could be an annoyance if they don't do anything good with the team, but I can't pass judgment at this time.
literally almost the same as the Mane 6 without magic in the finale....and even then, Luna is weaker than Celestia as stated here, so they get rid of them and look for others who help her.

The biggest highlight and I think the purpose of this comic is how exvillains interact and these two surprisingly enough have a good chemistry.

The biggest flaws are what you have commented about and this picture >>2220. Confusing but at the same time funny because Sombra is playing against two Rarities.
