Details below:

Little Women meets My Little Pony in this new graphic novel interpretation of the literary classic about love, life, and sisterhood. Rainbow Dash, Twilight Sparkle, Fluttershy, and Rarity appear as the March sisters, who harbor dreams of life beyond Broncord, Massahoofetts.

Rainbow Dash yearns for excitement—something to write about. So when Applejack, the Marches’ neighbor, arrives home with tales of eel wrangling and apple eating, Rainbow Dash and her sisters dare to hope for more. Soon, Twilight finds herself in conflict with high-society mage Trixie, Fluttershy contracts a nasty case of Pony Pox, and Rarity and Rainbow Dash are fighting about, well, everything. Through difficult times and surprising challenges, the fillies work together to be better sisters and friends. Little Fillies captures a message that is as central to My Little Pony as it is to Louisa May Alcott’s timeless novel: Nothing is more important than family.

Her Own Story, Write or Wrong

Hey there, cruelty-free tuna. I think I mentioned we got our backlog refreshed, so we've got a ton of MLP comics to get to. Frankly, we might make it to next year with this amount of backlog. Now, I know normally we start with the main series, then work through all our spinoff books. But we're also big fans of doing two endings in a row around here, so let's finish one of these things we started~

Here's the cover:

Bring it in, girls! I think this is just a nice snuggly way to end the story. All the March sisters in big floofy dresses. And, like… I guess that's it! Yeah, this is pretty much all there is to say about this cover. It's weird that I almost miss having an odd quote from ComicBookResources to dissect. But I guess it all balances out~

So, since it's been a while, who here remembers the plot? Trick question, it was the plot of Little Women, except we merely sent Beth (played by Fluttershy) on vacation. But in short, it's the story of the March sisters and their struggles in growing up. Particularly Jo (Rainbow Dash), who feels like she's been left behind a bit, since her writing career hasn't quite taken off like her other sisters' goals. Even her next-door friend Laurie (Applejack) has found a new thing to persue.

So don't worry about the gap in our reviews. There's been a gap in the narrative of the story as well! See, it was all planned and thematic and certainly not that I didn't get a shipment of comics for four months! I don't think the isolation's been very good for Jo, since she's set up proxies of all her sisters and neighbour friend, and continues to act out their old meetings and life reports. Discord appears to recap the rest of the cast's activities since the last issue, including Marmee (Pinkie Pie) finally coming back from surprising her husband (Cheese Sandwich) at the front lines.

On Marmee's recommendation, Jo decides to take a vacation of her own at a particular boarding house, which is mostly an excuse to give cameos of the Student Six. But the change of scenery has done Jo some good. In fact, she's doing so well, she doesn't notice somepony else in the street until she bumps into them. And to her shock, coincidence of coincidences, the mare she's bumped into is none other than AK Yearling (AK Yearling). This is like if I bumped into the Game Grumps while doing my grocery shopping: theoretically possible, but not likely to happen in a rinky-dink East Coast suburb on a Wednesday afternoon~

Despite Jo's awkward fan-girling and babbling, AK Yearling notes that she used to write for the same paper, then invites Jo over for some tea. Oh, this is like my fantasies meeting the Grumps. Still starstruck, Jo flits about in AK's home until she settles in for conversation. Naturally, she asks how AK came up with such a great character as Daring Do. AK gives this advice: good writing comes from the truth. Sometimes the truth is boring, and sometimes the truth is scary. Write what scares you. Not, like, horror necessarily, but the truths that scare you.

After they part, Jo returns home after a long absence, just in time for Laurie's graduation. She's greeted by snooty Aunt March (Discord), who still thinks Jo's writing will amount to nothing, and so leaves her her own manor home, Plumfield, to… Actually, I have no idea. Neither does Jo, which Aunt March also criticises. And Jo finally reunites with her sisters Meg (Twilight Sparkle) and Amy (Rarity), catching up with them. Since Meg's looking to open a school, Jo decides to give her Plumfield instead, since she can actually make use of it. That was a quick resolution!

And so Jo flits around the party, schmoozing with the other guests until finally Laurie pulls Jo aside into the little meeting place they first met. Laurie's a bit overwhelmed, especially with the whole "well, I graduated college, now what?" concept. As someone who didn't go to college, I can't relate! Like, presumably you went there for a reason, so you could get a specific degree and pursue some field of interest. I dunno what college was like in 1869, though, maybe this post-graduate listlessness was common. I guess we'll never know for sure~

Jo recounts her meeting with AK Yearling, noting the advice she was given is also strongly similar to something Laurie herself once told her as well. And even though Jo is now sure of what she's writing next, she pulls Laurie off for "one last adventure". The pair head out in the dark and goof around a bit. I can't even be sure if these ruins are real, but I'm pretty sure the pit of snakes isn't. The pair come back in, with the group wanting to take a commemorative photo of the event. Even Beth returns from vacation to get in on this. And so the comic ends with Jo starting work on her book, "Little Fillies", writing the very same Hearth's Warming that we opened with…

Well, all in all, I think that was very nice. I don't have any interest in (or experience with) the original story, but hopefully someone reading this comic is inspired to seek it out, if only for comparison's sake. It's obviously not a one-to-one adaptation, goodness knows they lampshade that they're putting their own spin on it often enough. But really, that's the point, isn't it? To not be afraid to tell your own story in your own way~?

Wistful While You Work

Hey there, non-traditional leprechauns. Little bit of bad news for ya: This is gonna be the last issue of Little Fillies right now. I don't have issue 4 yet! So sorry you'll have to wait for the conclusion to this 155-year-old story, but that's how it goes sometimes. In the meanwhile, we have issue 3 to get through today, so let's get into it~

Here's the cover:

Of the covers so far, this is far and away the best one. The previous two were very simplistic in a way that worked well, but this one actually feels like it's capturing something of the story. It's wistful to look at, in a way that really sells its contents. And if that doesn't do anything for ya, at least having a central focus might attract the Rainbow Dash fans to pick up this one. And then the other two once they realise it's part three~

As always, we open with the March sisters--and their club's newest inductee, Laurie (Applejack)--sharing their personal newspaper with each other. Meg (Twilight Sparkle) complains that Amy's (Rarity's) article was late, and she retorts it's not as if she's being asked to do a full 20-page illustrated periodical per month, so a little lateness can be excused. Ah, starting on the meta jokes early, are we? Jo (Rainbow Dash) thinks it all sounds terrible regardless, and Meg calls her out on her lack of dreams.

Of course Jo has dreams, though. She's just uncomfortable with expressing them. And as a minor aside, while the art is normally very good in these issues, this first panel of Laurie/Applejack is... not. They've either made her neck too thick or her head too small. It's just a little awkward. But starting with her, each of them goes around and shares their future goals. And while even Jo expresses a future she'd like, she's still uncomfortable. After all, why can't things stay the way they are? She's comfortable with that.

After a bit, though, a letter arrives at their house. It seems their father (Cheese Sandwich) is really bogged down in the war, and Marmee (Pinkie Pie) must rush to his side to try and settle things with her best cake (in spite of Twilight's protestations of missing the character's point). Unfortunately, they've got no money. Overhearing the conversation, Jo slinks out without being noticed. In some hours, though, she returns and gives a large amount of money to Marmee. Marmee's shocked, and asks how Jo obtained such an enormous sum.

Jo sighs and removes the sheet she's hiding under, revealing her mane is all black. She sold the pigments in her hair to a painter in exchange for the money. Now this one... I dunno, it doesn't make much sense to me. Is that a thing they can do? In the book, she just had her long hair cut short, which at least feels like something that could be sold. I guess Rainbow's hair is already so short, cutting it didn't really suit the plot. But it just comes across as kind of weird. Anyway, despite her kindness, she feels awkward with her hair changed, and Beth (Fluttershy) comforts her.

With Marmee gone, though, the March house quickly falls into shambles, as the sisters realise they're a bit unprepared to manage on their own. And while they're fretting about bills, Beth receives info that the Laurence place is flooding a bit. Naturally, she becomes worried about the animals, but her sisters can't give it the attention right now. So Beth goes off into the torrential rain to take care of them on her own. And when she comes back, she's sneezing pretty violently. The doctor (Discord) comes by, and declares that Beth is dead.

...tired. She's just too tired to keep participating in the story, and should be sent on a tropical vacation to recover, removing her from the narrative. It's basically the same thing. With Beth gone (on vacation), Jo and Laurie sit outside and muse wistfully that everything is changing. But in more positive news, Jo had a story published! It's not one of her Rainbow Dash yarns either. But with the whole Beth thing, she hasn't brought it up to her sisters. Before Laurie can turn the conversation to her own aspirations, Aunt March (Discord) comes marching up.

She's here to check up on how the sisters are holding together while Marmee's away. The answer is: not great. If they're this neglectful of their surrounings, how will their futures fare? This turns back around to that conversation at the beginning where they name their dream goals again. Meg's studying is dismissed, as they "already did 10 seasons of that". When Jo's turn comes up, she declares a disinterest, saying she'll end up doing it or she won't, so who cares. With that kind of attitude, Aunt March decides to take Amy on her tour instead.

Miffed at being denied seeing the world, Jo storms up to write. She draws a blank at first, but then her self-insert OC, Rainbow Dash, suggests she try writing about everything that's been going on. And so she does, turning it into a publisher (also Discord) the next day. He turns it down. It's not awful, but it's clearly trying to please too many people at once (which Jo even admits to), and thus she's not truly writing for herself. They're publishing one more issue (wink wink, nudge nudge, we're very clever, audience), so if she cleans it up by then, she might get in.

Jo's a little bummed, but no writer likes the editing process. She laments to Laurie, who offers a sympathetic ear, but is confident Jo will find her balance. She also still intends to go to Appleloosa to study. She even proposes that Jo could come with her, but Jo turns it down. It's not that it's less glamorous than an around-the-world tour (though it is also that), she just doesn't think it's for her. Laurie accepts it gracefully, saying she'll miss Jo. She'll miss her too. And the comic closes out with more wistful looks as Jo just sits in her yard while Laurie departs.

This is clearly the character development issue. Things are changing all around Jo, and she’s gonna have to change too or be left behind. The fourth wall jokes are a little blatant in this one, especially around Beth’s ...exit from the narrative. I guess we’ll have to see how it all turns out someday! Whenever I get issue 4.

In the meantime, next week we’re going back to Avengers Arena, and we’ll finish those last six issues and move on to something else.

IDW MLP Classics Reimagined Little Fillies #2 Review Part 1

This Review Continues Off The Proverbial Rails! Full Speed Ahead! So we continue the off-kilter mangling of Little Women. And I guess it’s ok. I mean it is a nice change of pace, mixing up Pony and Little Women as they are. Maybe it is a wee bit predictable, and is not the best adaptation parody I’ve seen but… it’s ok. I like it, and would like to see more classics with ponies in 2023. So let’s…
