Andrew Price, artist for the upcoming official, Hasbro-licensed My Little Pony comic book just got done with an interview for Celestia Radio, where he dished out some nifty details on the project. I've condensed it for you here.

-Will be released in November, no set street date yet

-1st issue will have 8 different covers, 6 drawn by the artist. The covers will all form one wide huge image. Each cover will feature one mane 6 pony, with other characters in the background.

-Price: $3.99

-22 pages

-Content will be separate from the show, but will not contradict it. Major events from the show will not be ignored, but the story will have some freedom from the show's plot. "It'll be up to the fans to decide what is canon."

-There will be no fan-derived stories, characters, or in-jokes due to legal reasons. This means no Cupcakes, Anthropology, nothing from fimfiction, and no popular fanon. (Yessssssssss!!)

-The artist avoids fanfictions entirely, but enjoys the artwork the fandom produces (Double yesssssss!!)

-Artist found out that Lyra and Bonbon were put together based on complementary colors looking good next to each other. This was told to him by an animator on the show.

-Best pony: Luna

-Favorite Mane 6: Applejack
Could've been something great. But ya' blew it... Ya' blew it.
