I've read quite a few of the friendship is magic official comics, any comics or books worth checking out?

The first couple of arcs in the Main Series are pretty good, Return of Queen Chrysalis, Nightmare Rarity, Big Mac, Shining Armor/Cadance Backstory, Pirates and Bookworm are generally the most well received. From Reflections onward it gets a bit spotty to put it generously. At the very least, the minor one-shots tend to be decent reads

For the Micro Series, half of them are pretty bad and unfortunately all of the bad ones are for the Mane 6 save for Rarity and Pinkie which tend to be the favorites of the Micro Series. Celestia, Spike, CMC and Luna are pretty good too

I think the Friends Forever comics are much better and more consistent than the Micro Series. Only a few issues are bad and all of them for the same reason, focusing too much on an original character rather than the main characters themselves(Pinkie/AJ, Luna/Spike, RD/Fluttershy, Rarity/the Cakes, Pinkie/Celestia, you should avoid). Most of these in general are worth reading but imo the best issues for the Friends Forever are Spike/Celestia, RD/Spitfire, Rarity/Babs Seed, Twilight/Pinkie, Twilight/Big Mac, AJ/Mayor Mare, Rarity/Gilda, Fluttershy/AJ, RD/Soarin(Personal favorite of the whole line)

Fiendship focuses mostly on villains but unfortunately only 2 of them, Sombra and Tirek are worth reading because they're the only ones that feel like they add anything to their characters

Haven't read most of the Mini-Series issues like the Movie Prequels, Ponyville Mysteries, Legends of Magic, etc., but for the most part they tend to be pretty well received.

Most of the Annuals/Specials/Holiday Specials tend to be mediocre, but Annual 2014(Power Ponies), Holiday 2015(3 HWE stories), and 20/20(Mane 6 meeting their filly selves) are really good imo

Most of the EQG issues suck except for March Radness which is actually really good and a better RD-Focused special than the one she actually got in the main series

Of the crossovers, both of the Transformers crossovers are awesome, but the G1 MLP Crossover Generations sucks unfortunately
