Ashleigh felt more pressure because the movie is going to be on the big screen, the animation is being brought to the next level, so she really wanted to bring her A game! 
Favorite Books for AJ and Pinkie: 
Pinkie Pie: Charlie and the Chocolate Factory

Bobby on the prequel comic series: It was super exiciting. We got to read the script ahead of time and it was awesome! Each issue fleashes out of the new main characters from the film. They are stand alone stories, however there is an overall story that connects them in a overarching arc. The first issue focuses on Storm King. The second focuses on the Pirate characters. The third issue is about Capper, The last one focuses on Tempest Shadow. UP next is The Prequel Novel from Little Brown, which actually intertwines with the comics a little! The Story Road to Canterlot–the first prequel book out, focuses on Tempest and her journey outside of Equestria! The rest of the series will be team up books with the rest of the mane six, set after the movie. Rainbow Dash interrupts, complaining about how all the questions have been for Applejack and none have been for her! Applejack was asked about how it was working with Capper: He’s a real cool cat. He might be a little sneaky, can’t say much but he is a really cool cat. Pinkie Pie was asked about how the storm king is cranky. untypable andrea libman fast performance describing the storm king as a big meanie. Mike and Tony are talking about his process for creating covers for the My Little Pony comic covers. Started with the artist roughs for a Jetpack Comics cover. Pencils to inks to colors. Usually Tony gets a week’s notice to get the covers done. It usually takes him a couple of days to punch through them. Tony is giving big props to Heather Breckel and Lauren (his flatter) for their coloring work on the comics! Story time at book Con! Andrea Libman and Ashleigh Ball reading a scene from one of the comics. The scene is from My Little Pony Friendship is Magic #53! It’s the scene with the cave ponies! I AM VERRY HAPPY!!!
