* DarkerAndEdgier: Than the original ''FIM''. [[NeverSayDie Death]] is actually referred to as such, a lot more of focus is put on the teeth and [[EyeFocus eyes]] of characters (in all their [[NightmareFuel icky glory]]), and some of the more {{Squick}} aspects of Changelings as well as some off-screen gore are featured. Not to mention the less-than subtle meta references and [[ShoutOut shout outs]]. It is obvious that the comic put in a lot of stuff the original animators and producers would have never gotten away with, neither morally (in terms of the content rating) nor legally (in terms of copyright).

** In issue #3, [[spoiler:Chrysalis takes one of the left over kittens and in the next panel, all you can see is a white background splattered by black and the Cutie Mark Crusaders' screams, the implication being that she '''killed the thing in front of them'''.]]

*** The CMC discuss the possibility of having another pony as a cutie mark. TheHub has since released [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eqNyMHKwzCc this promo]].

*** Queen Chrysalis herself is a lot more frightening in the comic book version. Her looks [[{{Pun}} can especially kill]]. Particularly, her first appearances in Issues 1 and 2 are utter Nightmare Fuel showing off her demonic side (especially as Issue 2 has her angrily glaring with her teeth bared), although the rest of her expressions tend to be more comical.

** Changing into ''Pinkie Pie'' of all ponies to combat the group, think ''Too Many Pinkies'' only all on evil mode.
*** Even worse in issue #3 where [[spoiler:Chrysalis and her minions utterly take over a village of cute cat-like creatures filled with WUB- errr love and consume them. Remember: this is what they wanted to do to Equestria!]]

* NightmareFuel: [[spoiler: The Mane Six being surrounded by all the infected ponies in the first issue.]]
** [[spoiler:[[VileVillainSaccharineShow Almost everything the Changelings do]]. For example, we see the process of a pony being [[AllWebbedUp forced into a cocoon]] demonstrated on sweet little Derpy Hooves, and the mucus they use is drawn with rather disturbing visceral detail.]]

* BigLippedAlligatorMoment: Issue #1, Page 2 - a bear in a tutu and a flowered hat riding a scooter. While other panels have other animals on it, they're just doing mundane animal things.
