The November 2017 IDW Solicitations were posted.
"My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic #60
Christina Rice (w) • Agnes Garbowska (a & mc) • Sara Richard (sc) • Valentina Pinto (ric)
The Cutie Mark Crusaders have a new challenge when a young pony doesn't want to follow in her family's footsteps. Will she chose her family or her calling?
FC • 32 pages • $3.99"
Possibly tying into Marks and Recreation? Similar premise, the CMC helping a pony that has a really big issue surrounding getting a cutie mark.
And the Legends of Magic for the month:
"My Little Pony: Legends of Magic #8
Jeremy Whitley (w) • Tony Fleecs (a & mc) • Heather Breckel (c) • Brenda Hickey (sc) • Jennifer "ChibiJenHen" Hernandez (ric)
The group of legendary ponies continues to grow as Rockhoof and Mage Meadowbrook join the group! Each faces unique challenges that will require the help of their peers before disaster strikes!
FC • 32 pages • $3.99"
I guess they're just going to do Friends Forever stories with these lore characters? So far LoM has been confirmed for twelve issues.

>another shitty shy character with a talent that saves the CMC ass at the end
calling it now
>>30785996
That's a good enough concept I would read it regardless of settings.
But

>>30786389
The concept seems pretty mediocre and would have been much stronger had this been about apple bloom pondering that idea. I just don't see how they could make an interesting story out of that premise as it stands.
Eh, as long Fosgitt isn't drawing a pony comic ever again.
Seriously, fuck that guy with a rusty saw.
>>30786009
wait, I though all six ponies joined together in 7 though?
>>30786820
They did. LoM isn't actually a 12 issue thing, its only a 10 issue thing. 7-10 are sort of all connected of how they take down an evil threat and then become best friends or something. It takes multiple issues.
LoM for now supposedly ends at 10. Probably isn't selling well enough to justify more than the original order, plus Hasbro probably wants something else for post Movie things/S8 since these were all expansions on S7 lore.

He was hired at MARVEL and is currently doing alternate covers for the IDW Hasbroverse: G.I. Joe, M.A.S.K; Action Man and Transformers
Let's hope they keep him away from MLP
>>30786841
are you telling me they cancled friends forever for a mini?
>>30786866
That and the fact that sales have been plummeting like a meteor.
Its not IDW's best selling series anymore.
>>30786866
They want another mini after this, I bet.
>>30786875
If you combine the books it still is.
>>30786875
Yeah but surely friends forever was making more money than friendship is magic. It was far less consistently terrible.
>>30787185
It always sold more than FF.
>>30786009
Wait, when did Legends of Magic #5 came out? I didn't see a storytime for that
>>30788139
That's sad considering how much better FF was.
Not that it was good mind you
>>30788808
Solicitations are typically 2 to 3 months ahead of the actual release of a comic. Legends of Magic #5 should be out sometime in the next month.
