Page 575 - Princess Maker

Can you tell working on the IDW comics made me feel a little inadequate about my paneling?

Funny story about the runup to this: My five-year-old laptop, on which I’d made every page of the comic thus far, bricked last week! I was already planning to move the operation over to my more powerful desktop anyway, and I didn’t lose anything critical… but still, what timing!

Anyway, here’s what we’ll call for the moment The Ticket Master.

DM: PREVIOUSLY, IN EQUESTRIA… The Nightmare Night festival last week was a resounding success! Even as Luna’s return threw a wrench in the works and a mysterious interloper attempted some character assassination, the night ended amicably between the estranged princess and her subjects. But instead of <ahem> following up on the giant mystery presented last session, I’m told you have a different plan in mind. …Which is alright, honestly, since it gets Rarity back in the game for a while. So, you’ve had a week to plot and scheme… What’s the plan?
Twilight Sparkle: Well, in short: Get into Canterlot and make Rarity a Princess before anyone notices.
DM: That’s a goal, not a plan.
