In the pirate arc, she didn't have any problem giving ponies little warning zaps to keep them in line. Twilight's justification for her inaction makes absolutely no sense.
These bulls, incidentally (to pick out just two things) badly hurt Applejack right in front of Twi and aim to burn innocent town-dwellers out of their homes. Why? Because of one piece of truly unbelievable characterisation, when she refuses to use her magic to stop the rampaging bulls, on the grounds that it would be wrong to do this to non-magical Equestrian citizens. This is by far her worst outing in any of the IDW comics so far.

So, Equestrian citizens have free rein to smash things up? Nice one, TwiĪnd that's Twilight. Still, I could live with this if it were the issue's worst sin. Admittedly it does allow us to see a truly adorable scene of Dash licking her feathers clean, but that's small compensation. As for Dashie, she gets treated rather badly, too: Twilight (of whom more in a minute) and Rarity use their magic to put out a barn fire and Rainbow just ends up drenched. Fluttershy doesn't do much at all, beyond make one very funny joke with (as it happens) Rainbow Dash. (Even if they did seem a lot less formidable in that one.) But back to the pegasi.

It makes sense that some of Applejack's enormous extended family would live in a place like Canter Creek, and there's some pleasing continuity in having the desperado cattle from the AJ/Rarity team-up return for a full outing. Yes, it's clichéd, but so are pirate ships and jewel heists, and we've had both of those. Well, before I get to that, I'll say that I don't have a problem with the Wild West setting. Fluttershy especially, of course, but Rainbow Dash doesn't tend to get much love, either. I have somewhat mixed feelings about that: these guys have produced some wonderful comics over the time they've been doing it, but I am getting a bit irritated with their clear lack of interest in the pegasi. The latest arc in the My Little Pony main series, "The Good, the Bad and the Ponies", is a two-part Cook/Price/Breckel affair – and so will be the following one, apparently. Price's A cover just beat out Richard's B for me
