Erik Reviews....Seriously?

I own some great comic books.  Certain titles that I think told excellent stories, had amazing art, and could provide a serious look at the world around us while providing some keen insight into society and what's coming.  Granted, I don't own a lot of the "greatest" comics, like Watchmen, V For Vendetta, The Dark Knight Returns, or Maus.  But I've read them, and I think they're great.  Especially Maus.

I also own some comics that are so bad they're awesome (and some that shoot straight past awesome again and go straight back into bad.)  I own comics that are romantic, action-packed, gritty, and hilarious.

And then there are the books I own for a single solitary reason that usually pertains to that one book.  I bought some for a single line of dialogue, a single reference to something happening in the world, or a single spectacular piece of artwork.

And then there's a book like the My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic that I picked up because it has more pop culture references in it than an entire season of Family Guy.  Including, and I'm not making any of this up, one pony giving another pony the "be nice until it's time to stop being nice" speech from Roadhouse, a cameo from Mola Ram (the bad guy who pulled out hearts in Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom), and Rule Number One from Anchorman.  Already, we know is is going to be mind-blowing.
