In issue 19, Sombra says “when your Luna returned to the throne, ours turned to the dark side”. I took that to imply that she automatically became evil when Luna became good; and that in issue 20 they have to somehow find a way to break the link that’s controlling her (and possibly all the other opposite counterparts).
 
(As for Discord and Trixie, maybe it’s an “opposite of neutral is neutral” situation.)

“All”? A lot, maybe, but not all the magitek that they had before (and made use of to create) the mirrors, or anything they developed (redeveloped?) after the mirrors were closed.

That’s the headcanon I’ve always stuck with. That could explain the differences in personalities from various characters, like Spitfire being a cute stalker and not a douche (Only time the comics have done a character better), and Luna acting like a bratty child with new bows and not like the royal keeper of dreams.

Wait, did Starswirl take a bag of coffee with him?!  
That seems very risky and stuff…

I can see why she’d want to go back. Discord is good and a protector of that land rather than a former despot. A level headed and sane and more importantly GOOD Luna. A ruler of that world that is someone she can fall in love with…yes, I can see why they would want to go back.

@yomerodes Actually, the first comic of this arc outright states that Prime!Luna has been far more distant with Celestia lately, so the scenes in the past take place well before either Luna’s banishment or Sombra’s imprisonment.
 
I do like how the comics do explain why Celestia and Luna didn’t use the Elements of Harmony on Sombra in the first place; their friendship had gotten strained to the point where they weren’t able to use them effectively anymore. (Also like how Good King Sombra’s world focused more on magic science than magic magic too.)

I’m afraid that is just a screw up. In cases like these, I just assume that the show’s canon takes precedence over the comic.

Maybe “Evil Luna before she was evil” start of darkness comes the same reasons than Nightmare Moon…
 
That is, jealousy over the perfect goody two shoes Princess Celestia, that just appears out of nowhere and steals her beloved Good King Sombra while she remains as an unlucky childhood friend.
 
She being a friend of Sombra for so any years but without courage to reveal her feelings, with the impact of seeing how Sombra falls in love with a Celestia that came from nowhere, and with a little taunting from Evil Celestia, SNAPS!, “Evil Luna before she was evil” becomes Evil Luna.

Celestia meeting this SOmbra before Prime Sombra might be a glaring continuity error, a shame they made such a mistake, since I love the comics.
 
In this moment of Celestia life, we are supposed to believe that Luna is already imprisoned on the moon, yet in the show Sombra banishment was done before Luna imprisonment.
