The End wasn't The End - Found a new home after the great exodus of 2012

@Dawn Blast  
Me, it’s easier to say what I HAVEN’T played… I pretty much have a copy of most PnP RPGs in existence, and I’ve played most of them. On a dare from a friend, I’ve even tried to start a session of FATAL. We never got beyond player character creation… that game is SICK!

Been playing PnP games for 14 years, since AD&D 2nd Ed. errata 1. Not sure how proud of that I am.

That dice pouch looks suspiciously like a Crown Royal bag. Which is exactly what I’ve used to carry dice ever since my mother gave me one when I was a kid.

The issue #9 panel art hadn’t been approved on the whole, not just as a cover piece. Andy was still waiting on approval of final art for the whole book, not just approval of that particular page as a cover.

I do remember however in the #9 case, Bobby Curnow, the IDW editor of this series, even came out to say that that image hadn’t been approved yet for a cover, so there was miscommunication somewhere.
 
I don’t have a problem with them using full panels in the story as a cover as, at least with how Andy draws them, they are interesting and eye catching. Not all of them are spoilers of a massive variety either (for example, Rarity’s microissue has one cover that’s the 3-4th last page when they are back in Canterlot after Rarity’s spa trip - but unless you’ve read the story it doesn’t seem to give anything away and there’s no single massive joke on it).

@Masem  
Well, that’s close to what happened, but not exactly. IDW assigned that full-page splash to Comics World, just like they do with any issue getting a special cover. IDW specifically instructed them to NOT leak the cover, so as to keep from spoiling the scene. It was leaked anyway.
 
Andy and Katie have both publicly stated that they really abhor the fact that panel art is being made into covers, for this exact reason. The costume gag from issue #4 was a perfect example. It ruins the joke, so any lead-up in the script ends up falling flat.
 
IDW will probably continue to use this tact, though. It gets them a cover without having to pay for the art.

The End wasn't The End - Found a new home after the great exodus of 2012

I was homeschooled. Got my GED at age 16, graduated from universit by the time I was 21 and now am happily employed in I.T.
 
I’m already paying off my student loans while my public school friends are taking out more, and I never had to navigate the zoo that is the public school system. I got to participate in some public school activities like the anime club and that’s how I met people. It was kind of funny that I was a college student still going to high school club meetings, but since I was the same age as everyone else in the club the school admins were fine with it.

Surprisingly not a whole lot. Study, ran cross country and track, bass in the choir, dances with friends, the random insanity that came before test, the feels of finding out one of your classmates passed away with the dread that at least two more would be lost after the first (coincidental really), going to the football games and having more fun with the marching band members than the actual game, and trying to figure out what you wanted to do after graduation. Honestly college was more drama filled than high school ever was.
