The new Nightmare Moon has revealed herself… and captured our stunned Ponies! With time running short for Equestria before a full-scale invasion, the only hope lies with… Spike?! And what role will Princess Luna play?”
@Littlecabbit
So that means it’s like a season 2.5?
Eh maybe, but i’ll need a confirmation to be convinced, the comics itself are darker than the show, it doesn’t fit the same universe.
We don’t know how much time past from the Wedding to the Crystal Empire, the events from issue #1 to #4 only cover about four days time, it could’ve easily taken place between the two seasons
It is in the same continuity as the show - they’ve said as much - but its pretty clear anything established in the comics will (not likely) be reflected in the show.
Eg if we get another Chrysalis episode, the comic story will likely never be mentioned at all.
Effectively its divergent from the series at certain points.
Actually, while we can’t say it’s AU, we can’t say it’s not either, untill we get official word from the shows creators or the comic’s, we can’t say if it’s the same continuity of the show or not.
I have mixed feelings about this. It sounds it could be great but at the same time I don’t like it if they make the comics have different “canon world” since in the TV show NMM was banished using the elements of harmony and she then kinda became part of the moon being inside of it somewhow instead of trotting on the surface of it.
… Lauren has stated Nightmare wasn’t just some darkness inside Luna. Plus Nightmare wasn’t banished onto the moon, she was trapped inside it. .-.

How is it chronologic if season 3 is airing at the same moment as the comics?
Eg if we get another Chrysalis episode, the comic story will likely never be mentioned at all.

Nope. It’s not and it’s not non-canon. Never has been.
I thought it was obvious that idw was a parallel universe
It is me or I’m forseing an Inverted version of “Secret of my Excess”?
she’s sad cause she didn’t get her own episode this season ;P
maybe NMM used her magic to make moon look like a mini shadow planet or smth.
new EoH separated/banished evil (spirit of NMM) from Luna in pilot episodes.
Even Lauren said that NMM was something more then just “bad side” of Luna.
She is like Venom from Spiderman.
depressed Rarity + EPIC BIG DRAMA/SAD THING + hungry spirit of NMM = hello new Nightmare Moon

Can’t wait to read this issue! :D
No pointless whi- er, complaining.
best way
Good way or bad way?

…Selenites?
I point to this variant:
which basically screams, yay, Rarity becomes NMM.
