The Illustrious Q

In March of 2011, a fairly quiet Brony known as The Illustrious Q watched his first brand new episode of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, “Over a Barrel”. This was of course after binging the entire first season up to that point. While he was, at the time, content to let other much more interested/energetic people make their mark in the fandom, something was about to happen which would change everything. It wasn’t the Fire Nation attacking, but IDW Publishing announcing a new My Little Pony Comic Series at SDCC 2012 that had arguably as much of an impact on him. Minus the being frozen in ice for a century bit. Never one for half measures, The Illustrious Q swore an oath to collect every single MLP comic produced by IDW on that fateful day. Little did he realize that his quest for perfection would eventually lead him to become the Brony Fandom’s IDW MLP Comic Expert!

Silver Quill

Arriving on the scene with creating comics, Silver Quill became a recognizable name with his debut on YouTube. Blending archetypal studies with slapstick humor, he created a unique presentation style that gained a wide audience.
