The one thing I’d be interested to see from this, and they might not even cover it, is when the Sirens entered the human world. Like, have they been hanging around for a thousand years, or was there some timey-wimey crap that dropped them off closer to now?

But high school kids are fucking jerks! And petty too! Maybe he was trying for realism. :P
 
But seriously, it just felt like a warmed-over recap of Ponyville Confidential to me. Not very good, but not outright terrible either. That’s just me though. I can totally get why people wouldn’t like it.

While I agree that most of Andersons prior comics were alright, there was a lot more wrong with the Holiday Special than just that, namely that the main cast and CMC were fucking jerks far above the level of jerkiness they usually ever get to, the CMC were in fact out right malicious toward Sunset for some very petty reasons.
Mr. Horrible

This could be pretty good. Anderson might be an asshole but on the whole I’ve enjoyed the stories he’s written for the comic before. The only one that comes to mind that wasn’t that great was the holiday special, and even then that wasn’t so much bad as it was just a total re-hash of an episode of the show.
 
Plus, this isn’t really an EQG story anyway. It’s about the Dazzlings before they were banished to Equestria, so he won’t be working within the restrictions that the human world comes with.

Yes, those were fun comics. EqG Holiday Special may have been his low point but he can possibly make up for it with the Dazzlings’ issue.  
  1. I haven’t looked at her stuff too much to form an opinion on her. As long as the art doesn’t make my eyes bleed, I’ll be fine.  
  2. As long as I can find a way for the finished comic to work with my headcanon for the Dazzlings, then I would enjoy it. I view them in a good light so having them be heartless a-holes all their lives would kill some respect I had for them.  
  3. I just don’t want this comic to tarnish how I see the Dazzlings. That’s my biggest hope.

I do remember, and I also remember his Trixie arc (with collaboration of noone else but Agnes Garbowska). Both that and FF#3 were fantastical, and even if Ted is a horrible person and even after his horrible failure… I still have hope in this comic for a few reasons:  
1.- Agnes’ style is awfully cute, and I’m sure she can lend a hand into keeping the cute in the Sirens (specially Sonata!)  
2.- THIS is the moment for Ted to write awesome jerks for villanous protagonists. I mean, the Sirens were evil despite how cute they were, or maybe he can give them a legit reason to be bad… I hope  
3.- Ted might be an asshole, but his stories (even in the Worst case) try to be different and/or ambitious (Though sometimes pretentious) I just hope he can redeem himself (just like Sunset) and give us a good comic… Or just like her version of her, fail and see how everyone treats him like trash (except he kinda deserves it)

OK, I knew that the idea of developing the villains’ backstories being given to the comic writers was a giant risk to begin with but giving it to Ted Anderson right after how his recent comic did? I’m really worried now, considering how much I like the Dazzlings.
 
You know despite all of the recent controversy around Ted lately, does anyone even remember his Spike & Celestia comic? I loved it and it did Celestia major favors.

That seems to be the case  
I suspect IDW hates EQG so they put not effort on it or make it look worse, like making sunset having zero freudian excuses, showing the school to be full of assholes and ruining the CMC.
