![]() Subsequent issues were monthly best sellers and represented IDW's highest-selling property. ![]() ![]() The first issue saw more than 100,000 pre-orders prior to its release, making it one of the best-selling comics of both the month and the year, requiring IDW to issue a second printing it was only one of two non- DC or non- Marvel comics to be in the top 100 comics sold in 2012. They have been well received, having presented complex, multi-issue story arcs, and included material to appeal to the broad older fandom, featuring cultural references and show elements enjoyed by them. Though the comic, like the TV series, is aimed at young children, the writers and artists have consistently taken risks, including expanding Sombra's storyline, the Friendship is Magic miniseries, introducing little violence, and more. The comics follow the studious Twilight Sparkle (originally a unicorn, later given a pair of wings) and her friends in adventures throughout the empire of Equestria. In addition to these publications, IDW has also published several one-off issues. The flagship monthly publication, My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic, is accompanied by a secondary monthly title. The comics published so far are based on the characters from the 2010 relaunch of the franchise and its television series My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic, as well as the anthropomorphic spin-off Equestria Girls. IDW Publishing, an American comic publisher which has been publishing tie-in comic books to Hasbro properties since 2005, began to publish monthly My Little Pony comics beginning in November 2012.

Before Midnight (2013) had not been made yet, and is the hardest of the trilogy to watch because of its authentic character development and expression of tensions in long term relationships. I was immersed in these films and they will always mean an awful lot to me, and still agree with a Robin Wood article I read once that a brief scene in a record shop in Before Sunrise (1995) is one of the most beautifully perfect romantic and poetic pieces of cinema – a scene which has no dialogue but clearly denotes the moment when this couple truly fall in love. This film series is special to me, not only as wonderful pieces of cinema but I also wrote a chunk of my Master’s film studies thesis about them in relation to Deleuzian concepts of cinema, time, and philosophical time travel. ![]() As part of me celebrating reaching half way to 90 years old this week, we went to Le Pure Cafe in Paris for lunch, something I’ve wanted to do for years since seeing Richard Linklater’s film Before Sunset (2004). ![]()
