Well with another arc under my belt
It is tilme to take a break and review some micro series comics.
But first, the "Spoiler Alert."
So, like, this is, like, a "Spoiler Alert" if, like, you, like, like don't, like, like spoilers, then, like, you shouldn't, like watch man.
Just in case you haven't had your fill of Rarity based plots from the most recent arc
I'm here to review the Micro Series starring the fashioneasta herself.
Titled "How Rarity Got Her Goove Back."
This is another comic from the fabulous creative team of Katie Cook on story and Andy Price on art.
So this comic begins with Rarity holding a fashion show in Ponyville as preparation for
THE CANTERLOT FASHION EXTRAVAGANZA!
and she's really stressed out, per usual.
So stressed out in fact that she misses most of her own after party
just making sure everything is perfect.
"Check, recheck, and recheck and recheck!"
As a way to help Rarity relax
Applejack of all ponies,
suggests that she go to "Flax and Wheat's New Aged, All Natural Wellness Center."
They offer: Mud for your face, saunas, Healthy Diet, etc.
It seems a bit too good to be true.
The first hint that things are not as advertised is when Flax Seed comes to pick up Rarity
in a less than comfortable looking wagon
The Second hint is when it looks like a run down barn
Not some fancy spa facility.
and the 3rd and final hint is Rarity has to sleep in the barn.
Still, Rarity decided to stick it out. Just for a little bit.
Maybe looks are deceiving.
One early wake up call, crappy breakfast and hard days labor later
Rarity isn't so sure she'll be sticking around.
But then she gets a gift:
Goops for Stuff Apple Carrot Deep Mane Conditioner
She's so relaxed, she decides to stick it out for one more day.
The next day is more of the same.
Early wakeup, crappy breakfast, hard day's labor, wants to leave at the end of the day.
But again, she gets a gift:
Goops for Stuff Milk and Honey Bath Soak.
and once again she decided to stick it out for one more day.
The next day the pattern continues.
But this time Rarity actually decides to leave.
Regardless of the nice gift she receives.
She goes to see Flax Seed and Wheat Grass,
the owners of the "resort"
To get a refund.
But it turns out they don't have said bits to refund her.
They then tell their sad story of how they were swindled by the Flim Flam Brothers.
Figures they'd be a part of this.
And they'll loose the farm if they can't pay.
Not if RARITY has anything to say about it.
Being the entrepreneur that Rarity is
She manages to make their production more efficient
and gives their product line and roadside stand a makeover.
Without compromising the all natural integrity of the product.
They then wait all night for customers.
Which no one comes.
Expect for
DERPY!
(gasp) She's even a mailmare!
It's officially canon! OH MY GOD OH MY GOD OH MY GEEEEEERD! THIS IS AMAZING!
DERPY
IS
BEST
PONY!
Jet: Bitch, I'm the best pony!
Comic: Uhg, that's not how it works. It has to be a character from the show.
Jet: Don't give a shit.
(awkward laughter)
Well, getting back to the story.
Since the roadside stand was a flop, Rarity decides to bring Flax and Wheat's products with her to Canterlot.
And they actually become wildly successful!
Much to the jealousy of Rarity.
Wait a second
Go back a page...
GREAT GOOBILY MOOBILY!
Another Observer Pony!
(excited whisper) There is more than one of everything.
Sorry about that...Peace out.
There is also a short comic about how Hayseed has a crush on Rarity, but it isn't that important.
This comic was...
well...
Eeh, it was ok.
I would give it about 5.5 Goops for Stuff out of 10.
The twist that the "resort" wasn't as advertised was really, really obvious.
Not to mention a bit cliché.
Now that I think about it, the entire plot was cliché.
But despite that, it was still a good story.
Rarity had some character development
She learned how to appreciate manual labor.
And she even helped Flax and Wheat save their farm.
I guess you could say she learned not to stress over small stuff as well.
Well it appears that, that is My 2 Bits on "How Rarity Got Her Groove Back"
Tell me your 2 bits on this comic in the comments below.
Or possibly suggest a future "Spoiler Alert."
