• As of one and a half months before the launch, pre-orders for Issue #1 have already exceeded 90,000 copies, out selling the likes of Uncanny X-Men, Spider Man, Green Lantern, and Detective Comics.
  • Now they sold 100,000.
  • For all single issue comics sold in 2012, the first issue came in at #90 on the best sellers for the year. May not seem that impressive but consider that it, along with The Walking Dead #100 (which came in first), were the only two non-DC, non-Marvel books to break the top 100 list, and was IDW's best-selling book.
• The changeling fight in the first issue has some great moments.
  • After fixing up Pinkie's hair, Rarity shows that she too can zap changelings into oblivion.
  Rainbow Dash: Rarity! Blast it! Pretend it's last year's fashion or something!
  Rarity: Eep! Leg warmers and stirup pants?! Not in my Spring Line!
  • A Funny Background Event shows that Spike set a changeling on fire... only to make it angry and start chasing him!
  • Fluttershy scaring a whole group of changelings with "The Stare".
• Rarity and Pinkie Pie whipping up duplicates of the whole Mane Six to get past a troll. Followed by Pinkie getting him to take care of a giant spider.
• In issue 4, during the big confrontation Twilight attacks Chrysalis with an attack that blows out half the freaking castle!
• All the epicness Spike and Celestia (and Luna, but not as shown) were up to that prevented them from helping sooner
