Given the fact the fact that the episode coming up this weekend seems to feature them as the tales, I thought it may be a good idea to repost all of these as a refresher. May be nice to have the pages easily linkable for reference too if it survives the shuffle of episode day threads.

Thanks for doing this OP
>>30794346
My pleasure. I'm sure it'll be useful to have these comics around on the board if the thread survives to the episode.
I'm curious what kind of differences there will be between what's here and what will be in the episode.
>>30794354
The episode will be about:
Rockhoof saving a town from a volcano using his shovel to dig a moat. >>30794235
Mistmane giving up her beauty to save her friend and her kingdom.>>30794274
Flash Magnus fighting off dragons using only a shield.>>30794308
Many thanks, OP. I needed this.
>>30794194

>>30794226
Wait, why is Celestia wearing regalia? And why is her hair not pink?
>>30794831
Artist didn't get refs.
Also all of these are only supplementary stories so could be ignored.
Where's the sphinx one?
>>30794831
Whitley didn't read the existing material, basically. Numbers 1 and 3 have some pretty severe contradictions with known lore; after reading them I understand why they refused to say these were canon.
>>30794947
Whitley flatly ignores anything he dislikes in lore.
>>30794910
That's not going to be out till after the episode airs unfortunately. It's the next one to come out I think.
Probably should've mentioned that in the OP so Anons wouldn't think something was missing. Sorry.
Early afternoon bump.
>>30795216
What a shame, the only character I was kind of curious about gets the last release.
Still, I thought that only the adult ponies would tell tales, but we actually have four. Curious who will get the fourth one.
boop
Evening bump.
>>30794364
>Mistmane giving up her beauty to save her friend and her kingdom
I kind of wonder if Mistmane's going to be in "it isn't the mane thing about you" instead-- Rarity is going to lose her mane in that episode, and is an incredibly generous pony, and mistmane gave up her Youth/beauty for others.
I think we might get that as a lesson for rarity in that episode, about how its who you are on the inside that's important.
after all, we have 5 legends and only 3 will be in the campfire tales, right?
>>30794831
>And why is her hair not pink?
What are you talking about? Celestia's hair has a very noticeable pinkish streak/tint to it that she lacks as an adult.
Show canon has that storybook of celestia having pink hair when she fought luna as Incorrect (both the flashback of their fight and the journal of the two sisters), so the writers aren't free to make her hair TOTALLY pink; they're more or less constrained by the show staff's canon sadly.
So they did the best they could and just made her hair pinkISH as a nod to the fandom's head canons.
>>30799433
Yes, but Rarity goes on that camping trip.
>>30799433
The alternative is that they just skip some of them and only use 3 of the characters.

Early in the afternoon bump.
Which Legends of Magic issue do you like most so far /mlp/?
I think #2 with Rockhoof would be it for me. He was pretty cool and there were some qt ponies in the guard with him too.
>>30803897
Absolutely the Rockhoof one. He's a cool guy who never gives up.
Mistmane's story is pretty annoying to me because of retreading the same "nature vs progress" theme which reminds me of that one horrible main series comic with deer-elves against a ridiculous amusement park owned by a minotaur.
I don't like stories where soldiers violate a direct order and don't suffer any consequences for it. Otherwise Flash's story is okay I guess.
>>30794275
>he has a wizard hat, too
Of course
What a fucking nerd
It makes me kind of disappointed that the show hasn't done anything with Sunburst yet
>>30803956
Hopefully he's just as cool if he shows up in the episode later today.
>>30803897
I liked #4
The idea of Magnus being the reason why pegasi and griffon train together is really interesting to me
Bump to keep this alive. Rockhoof's tale was way worse than the comic to me unfortunately.
My onions based on the episode: Rockhoof was better in the comics, Mistmane better in the show (though her comic was nice too), and Flash I couldn't really put one over the other to be honest.
One more bump in case anyone wants to read it.
I liked the show versions of them all better, but especially Mistmane. Whitley is a hack.
>>30809762
The other 2 I understand, but the show's tale of Rockhoof was fucking nothing. He didn't even get to talk and the problem was sloved through the worst use of dues ex machina, which is saying something considering this show's history
And one last bump from me, too.
Yeah, Rockhoof's tale in the show a shit.
