KatieBelle 302 September 8, 2014 Share September 8, 2014 Because if they are, Celestia kind of has a cannon ship! That they killed off. :C Sort of. That was so sad! Dx I 'watched' the alternate universe comic on youtube. I Want to read more comics, but there is way too many, and too pricey to buy all of them. I need to be caught up on the comics- I can't help but feel like I'm missing out on stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dattebayo 2,850 September 8, 2014 Share September 8, 2014 That's easy, friend, read them all here for free: https://www.youtube.com/user/ChronoShenron And yes, according to Andy Price, the artist, Hasbro says they are %100 canon. 2 ^Click for my Deviant Art^ You truly are the Rosa Parks of not understanding what r34 is.

Andaasonsan 3,205 September 8, 2014 Share September 8, 2014 We've never gotten a definitive "yes this is canon" confirmation from anyone, but the people who make the comics seem to actually be working with the show staff and not just having someone from Hasbro "rubber stamp" their scripts. There are other more dubious sources where you can find them for free online, but you'll have to find those on your own. You can always do the old trick of hanging out in Barnes & Noble and read all the trade paperbacks without actually buying them. Application REJECTED!

lomk 20,663 September 8, 2014 Share September 8, 2014 What Dattebayo said. It's actually been known for a while that Hasbro considers them canon. :3 I refuse to let go until you're impressed. I refuse to let go until I'm depressed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At BABSCon's comic panel they did actually... they were asked whether the comics were canon, and they explained that for all intents are purposes they are secondary canon as are the rest of the official materials out there besides the show. Basically what that means is that they try and make them canon, they are supposed to work with the show, and they should be considered canon, but if some detail conflicts with something on the show, then the show's canon should be prioritized. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dattebayo 2,850 September 8, 2014 Share September 8, 2014 (edited) For future reference and arguement's sake, I'm just gonna leave this here: I must have posted that pic like 5869 times laready... x) Also, a quote from the man himself: "The comic is set within show continuity, and is done in cooperation with the show staff. This is as close to the show as it gets without having it animated. I personally say yes, but it is really up to the individual to decide." http://andypriceart.deviantart.com/journal/Important-News-on-the-MLP-Comic-331014657 Edited September 8, 2014 by Dattebayo ^Click for my Deviant Art^ You truly are the Rosa Parks of not understanding what r34 is.

I was about to mention that. As long as the comics don't conflict with the show itself; it %100 happened.

Andaasonsan 3,205 September 8, 2014 Share September 8, 2014 (edited) Oh, and I can't believe I let this slip by... "Cannon" is "a large, heavy piece of artillery, typically mounted on wheels, formerly used in warfare." While "canon" is "a collection or list of sacred books accepted as genuine". ------------ Oh and while we're on the subject, instead of saying "not-canon" it would please me if people started referring to it as "Apocrypha" or "Apocryphal" as that is the actual word for things that are not accepted as canon. Ooh, ooh and I just realized something: Pinkie Pie's party-cannon is canon. Crazyness. Edited September 8, 2014 by Andaasonsan 2 Application REJECTED!

KatieBelle 302 September 9, 2014 Author Share September 9, 2014 I love what I've read so far! I totally ship Celie and Sombra now!!! I really do hope it's 100% canon cause I love it!

Visual Spectrum 1,932 September 9, 2014 Share September 9, 2014 No. They are not cannon. I don't even think they could be used as a cannon... They are made out of paper or are digital. Are they canon? Yes. 1 Applejack Fan Club Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
