Recall the Time of No Return review

The ponies look impressively 2D with that cel-shaded 3D applied to them. Just as impressive as those few Dragon Ball Z game like Fighterz. Spike on the other hand was obvious, the head was a dead give away. Probably in animation or a video game the ponies would suddenly start looking 3D like the Storm Hawks and The Dragon Prince. The ponies have a drastic advantage with cel-shading because they look so clean and simple all the time.

The story is very generic, but I cannot say it's any worse or better than other similar stories. You've managed to do the macho crap exactly like those 85s cartoon shows like GI Joe, MASK, Biker Mice from Mars, Street Sharks, TMNT 2003, Double Dragon, Mortal Kombat cartoon, and too many to list. Redwall, Spiderman Unlimited, X-Men, Kids Next Door, too many to list. I'm all too familiar with this genre.
Boring story, but not any worse than what I've seen. Your story could fit seamlessly with any of those cartoons I've listed and especially as a TMNT 2003  40-60 minute special.

Pinkie Pie's charming genius idiot character is good in like .. the first 4 pages, then suddenly the genius goes straight back to Dr Who without any charm. Dr Who feels incredibly boring in personality and it's disappointing that he became the main driving force of the story. Twilight felt like any typical eloquent sinister villain and even a little aloof like Amalthea. It's too bad she's only in the story for like 30 pages out of 300.
The rest of the characters were completely forgettable. I can't recall one thing about them. Spike's parts were probably the most boring to sludge through. I actually forgot Rose Luck was in the story at some parts. I liked Dr Who's parts only because of the sci-fi elements and the Sherlock Holmes-tier dialogue, which I would have preferred if the Mane5 shared it instead of dumping it on a single nerd character.

Your story constantly yells out the idea that people change with age, especially people who live 10-20 lifetimes like Dr Who, only to suddenly throw it all in the trash because you couldn't come up with a stronger story than "Shapeshifters from Dr Who". A real cop out.  It appeared as if Twilight had grown bitter from all the wars she fought.
The story is shallow and you try to fill it up with details through flashbacks and dialogue, if we remove all of it your story would be no longer than 100 pages, maybe even less. The pacing is ... decent for those who aren't bored by the filler, but for me I was a little bored with most of it and could notice it immediately. Still a far better pacing than Naruto and DBZ though.
The content isn't bad, just mediocre. There could have been better ways to fill up 300 pages. When I end up being disappointed that we didn't get more time with Twilight Sparkle then there's a problem. Spike/The Resistance's scenes were the most boring, the flashbacks were okay-ish, while Dr Who's insane amount of page eating I could only stomach because I enjoy sci-fi and genius talk, but I still would have traded it for something better if I had the choice.
I think separating the storytelling into 2 groups sabotaged the story a little, it's decent for the pacing, but not for the actual content going on. I was interested to see the villain's reactions to the other characters, but only if they were interesting and not predictable or completely ignored like Rose Luck and Dr Who.

The content and events themselves are mediocre, not terribly filler, but not good. Actually a lot of the content feels like a cop out too. Scenes like the dinner with Twilight were naturally dumb and contradicting logic and character-driven moments because Dr Who and Twilight don't bother talking at all to each other, despite she herself saying she's interested in the Doctor and wants to find out more about how they got there through time travel. Instead we get this back and forth hero vs villain talk, complete with touching and emotional manipulation of the weakest shyest character, but done passively and boringly, even if suave and elegant. I feel like Twilight should have had some proactive scenes to make her character more richful than just a walking general.
I don't understand why Rarity shut Fluttershy's mouth if they both were going to say the same thing, and why even bother questioning the villain's motives so blatantly. I was getting the sensation that the villain was ready to send them back to jail at any moment because of the retarded questioning. I was expecting the story to focus more on Twilight and less on Dr Who practically turns into the main character of this story.

As usual it's very typical of an action-driven story-driven premise like this to use the characters as tools by forcing them to dumb stuff, despite the fact the story almost promises character-driven actions. But I was hoping you wouldn't fall into this generic writing. Like I've said before, your story would fit perfectly in a compilation of dime a dozen tacky action cartoons. You're mediocre in a good way, definitely not 2010s level of bad. Your ideas and writing are industry-level and I could see you working easily for this sort of milquetoast entertainment.

I enjoy world building, I was interested in the crimson changelings the way I'm interested in the changeling hives by Siansaar until you decided to copy-paste Dr Who's Zygons, making this an actual Dr Who crossover.
The serious/melodrama/emotional scenes were whiny, felt very boring and annoying, which is par of the course for action shows and sci-fi shows. They cannot do natural emotion. It actually felt more emotional by having no dialogue when Applejack and Pinkie Pie hugged.
The wolf golems also felt tacky, robot/golem constructs definitely would fit into a cheesy action show or a high-fantasy show where weird magical talking guardians is par of the course. MLP FIM's world design was always more medieval DnD sort of magic like LOTR rather than high fantasy magic like Harry Potter.
I think it would have looked better(creepier and more emotional) if Twilight talked with her blindfold off, to show off her blind eyes. Twilight killing the soldier and Fluttershy fainting was very good atmosphere wise, even if the blood splatter was vulgar.

Layout wise it's very boring for a comic book. The action scenes were mediocre, but the hand to hand combat parts were terrible - I couldn't tell what was happening.
A lot of action influences, considering you're Korean you're probably very used to French and Japanese techniques for camera angles and atmosphere.
Pacing wise it's slow, but not terribly slow. Atmosphere wise it's good, just like action stories should be.
The characters' expressions and poses could have been far more lively and expressive, I appreciate subtle emotions and characters not doing wacky faces in a serious setting, but it's a flaw for serious action stories to never have characters emoting properly.


Your comic book is great and good if we use bottom of the barrel standards. (Hasbro & IDW)
And it's mediocre if we use run-of-the-mill industry entertainment standards. (All those examples I pointed up)
