This arc IMO is the second best arc of the MLP FiM comics, though I consider it non-canon. One reason why IMO it's better than that trainwreck known as Siege of the Crystal Empire (which shockingly and lazily recycled those "ATTICA!!" and "LET MY PONIES GO" jokes) is Celestia, though yes, she did put both words in danger because she was in love, feels guilty and shows remorse, even going so far as to think she's not a good pony over her actions, and attempts to make up for her actions to save both worlds, even at the cost of her boyfriend, and . And Radiant Mary Sue Hope did NONE of those things. That's why I hate her, think she's a horrible character who deserved no happy ending at all, and it would have been better off if she was imprisoned or killed off, she was just a big pile of wasted potential. At least this arc proves Celestia is not perfect, and gives her some flaws. I also agree that the Alt Sombra x Celestia ship is sad too... :(

The art was also lovely and nice, love that one shot with the stained glass windows, and Alternate Sombra's a really cool character. Shame what happened to him in the end...

Only cons I'd say is that this is the only time in the comics the Mane Six even used the Elements of Harmony, but then again, it would be kinda silly to use it every comic in a way, and in Saint Seiya, Seiya (SPOILER): only uses the Sagittarius Gold Cloth/Armor three times in the manga/series while he used it in most of the movies (SPOILER ENDS), and Celestia and Luna's alternate selves could have looked more "evil", and certain parts didn't make sense like seeing the evil Sombra at the end of #17. Plus we could have seen more of the alternate world, see more of what it looked like and such. And some of Pinkie's fourth wall breakings honestly felt out of place (like that "You can't do that! This is a kid's comic!" Yes, I know Pinkie breaks the fourth wall, but Muppets Treasure Island did that better...). Pinkie, I love ya, but there's a time and place where it shouldn't be done.

And one more thing: WHO is that pony in the trenchcoat in the beginning? Will we ever find out?
