Now, so leaving NSFW for a while, let´s focus a bit on this comic.

Instead of trying to promise action, it basically sets up the group that Whitley wants to build and give it a name of fame:

Nightmare Knights.....with the cover letters when Luna mentions it >>2630. A team full of former villains stepping into a parallel world in which all the canon and non-canon villains are found. Backstory aside and now looking for profit...I guess.

Anyway, it basically compiles previous releases before this arc: Legends of Magic for Stygian and Tempest´s comics. It´s basically a presentation of what Suicide Squad did before but reusing characters that don´t usually take the leading role very often (save Trixie and Luna). Basically, what you would call fanservice and random fun coming from the writer. Their presentations >>2624, >>2627 and >>2629 reminds me of Jojo´s stands or Smash reveal trailers new characters (when funnily enough we already knew them).

What shines the most in this part is showing the routine of former villains and how they keep going on with their lives. Trixie tours with up and, well, questionable downs, Capper sold himself out for the Flim Flam brothers until Luna offers him a quest that would give him a greater fame and Tempest has already found her comfortable residence in the Crystal Empire.

Is it just me or do IDW writers really enjoy writing Tempest? I have yet to see an out of character or misstep coming from her but she doesn´t. She acts like you would expect: looking down at ponies and saying that silly things are stupid >>2630. Down to earth yet that slice of intimidation and cuteness make her even greater.

Capper....well, I thought he cared more about money but giving the middle finger to the Flim Flam brothers sure left them stunned.

About Luna and Stygian, well I have not much to talk about them save that Luna has admitted to embrace her old dark side. So yeah, she´s Nightmare Moon with a different face and that her sister may not have done her homework yet in that aspect.

Someone should draw the entire team with these costumes someday.>>2631
