Well, I've always thought that the comics were kind of weak on the characterization, and to lesser extent the plotting front. The fact that we see stuff like this doesn't surprise me too much, but it is kind of egregious.

I have to agree. Normally I'm OK with whatever the comics or indeed show does but for once that was something I just couldn't agree with, for the reasons you said. It just doesn't make any sense, and goes against what we've seen in the past too. She's never had a problem with using her magic on people before. Why the change? I know why, and for me it weakens the whole story. There would be no story if she used her magic, which is the reason why she's adopted this new code (don't tell me otherwise ). It can't be because she's now a princess, because in other cases she's been OK using her magic on others post-upgrade It all kinda goes to show how OP Twilight is as well. She could easily end this whole thing with one spell. Imagine the ginger rage about that. And my favorite arc is probably the Changeling one. It set the bar high for the comics as a whole. In other news, Friends Forever #12 is delayed. That's annoying. I was looking forward to it. I get that. But there were about 3 things that could have been done to avoid that problem.
1: Not have Twilight be in the story at all, much like with the Trixe Mystery arc.
2: Have her get knocked out or her horn being damaged, thus she can't use her magic.
3: Give the bulls some special armor they found that prevents them from being hurt or affected by magic. Yes, it would be stupid, but at least it would be an actual explanation and it wouldn't make Twilight look bad.

Oh my God I can't wait to see this. I love how Pinkie is acting in this.

That looks like a ton of fun. I really need to get around to picking up the comics again.

Ton of fun...that might be very appropriate if those treats defeat Pinkie Pie.

So I've read Friends Forever 12. The art was some of the wackiest, craziest and best I've seen in the comics so far. And there's some hilarious bits and references in it too. Plus, I got what I wanted from it too, so I'm happy.
