Not really. The Zahler cover is the only one we had at the time of solicits, so that might have been labeled A. The plan was always for the interior artist to do the B cover though, with Amy Mebberson doing all of the A covers.

| Assuming the micro series sells well, could we expect to see more of them focusing on other characters, similar to the TMNT micro series? And if yes, could even Celestia have a chance of getting her own issue? |

It's a definite option. Putting together separate creative teams month after month is very difficult, so I don't look forward to it from a work standpoint— but there's no doubt that it'd be great to see one shots featuring Celestia, Spike, CMC and others.

I'd deffinantly love to see the Crusaders get their own Min/Micro-series down the line, seeing Applebloom, Babs, Scootaloo, & Sweetie Belle's antics in comic form would make my day!
And a Spike Spotlight sounds fun as well.

Is issue #4 still set for release on 3/6? Just curious also will we still be getting Issue #5 in March as well?
Just curious, thanks in advance for your reply.

If you could also let us know about all the upcoming variant covers for #5 and Rainbow Dash Micro, that would be great too!

| I haven't heard anything otherwise from Bobby, so I got my fingers crossed! We have through issue 6 completed at the moment, so I really couldn't see more delays happening. But I guess you never know haha |

Hi Soundalek,
Yep, #4 is set for 3/6, and #5 should be the end of the month-- the 20th is my best guess.
(but Heather, don't jinx us! The fact that we have issues in the can is nothing new-- all our woes have been Diamond/customs related)
Hi Drewly,
Here's the #5 run down:
A- Mebberson
B- Buscema
C- Price
Retail covers:
Dynamic Forces (Price interior art)
Midtown Comics- Fleecs
Hot Topic- Mebberson
Jetpack- Sara Richard
Larry's- Sara Richard
Jetpack/Larry's layout wrap around
Jetpack/Larry's sketch

Thanks Soundalek.
RD micro was just approved to to print today, so it won't be 3/13. I'd say 3/20, but the higher ups might want to avoid that if they notice it, so it might be 3/27.

I see, well heres hoping the RD Micro can be out by 3/20, can't wait to get my hands on that baby! The covers look pretty sweet, specially cover B!
Also what do you mean when you say the higher ups might want to avoid It? I would think they would want to get the book out as quickly as possible wouldn't they? And since the main book comes out the last week of each month, wouldn't they want to release the micro on a different week?
Not trying to pry to deeply, just curious.

Hi Drewly,
Here's the #5 run down:... |
Thanks for Bobby. I'm assuming not all of the Rainbow Dash Micro covers are confirmed yet or you're not allowed to say yet.
Either way, please let us know about the RD Micro covers when you can. I'm sure most of us collectors would greatly appreciate it!

Hi Sound,
I believe we've gained a week with the ongoing, I think it will be 3/20. So yeah, ideally they come out on different weeks.
Will try to post the RD covers tomorrow when I'm back at the office!

Thanks for the answer, 3/20 for Issue #5 sounds good to me! and I look forward on getting a concrete release date for the RD Micro as well as a list of the covers, keep up the great work Bobby! *Brohoof*

For the 4th printing of MLP #1 was there a collectors box that went with it?
