This is something I definitely want to read when all the issues have come out.

Edited out calling this comic a crossover, since that now appears to not be the case.

You beat me to it (I was waiting for the Diamond solicitation)!

My Little Pony: The Storm of Zephyr Heights

Writer: Jeremy Whitley
Artist: Andy Price

Synopsis: The story begins in #1 and continues in two epic, oversized issues! A must-read for Friendship Is Magic fans as the world of Generation Four collides with the ponies of Generation Five. A storm's a-brewing in Zephyr Heights! For the first time in forever, Queen Haven is taking a vacation, which means Princess Zipp is in charge! And while the queen is away, the Mane Six will play. But the forecast for the substitute queen's reign is not looking good… A mass of clouds the size of a city is wreaking havoc on Zephyr Heights… It's hailing, it's snowing, it's raining, it's blowing wind, and all the Pegasi are in danger! The Mane Six quickly jump into action, but it's up to Zipp to save her kingdom. Her bravery may just lead to the discovery of a lifetime…and bridge the world between the past and present. 

      

It sounds like Zephyr Heights might be menaced by the remains of Cloudsdale and its weather factory. It's hard to tell if any G4 characters are going to show up unless it's in flashback.

I think it will be like the MLP G1 and G4 crossover or the MLP and Transformers crossover

I always try to be cautious and keep my expectations very low when it comes to something that is intended to deliver a lot of fanservice. And it's weird that we are getting this considering how this Generation is already a sequel to G4, so wouldn't make more sense to tell a new story where the characters explore more regions from the old Equestria and discover what happened to Twilight and the others? There's the possibility that it's just going to be a huge nostalgia bait with no story at all, but it can very good as well, so let's wait, I was planning to read the G5 comics just after finishing the G4 comics, but I'll try to start reading the G5 comics already, a lot of people says they're good, so they must be very interesting, maybe they can be a good replacement for Tell your Tale to me, maybe they can even revive my hype, that has been dead since Make Your Mark ended.

Either way it’s debatable if they are canon or not

Tell Your Tale has had a story that's a little like this but on a much smaller scale with a version of the Rainbow Factory. I wonder whether all the ponies will be able to walk on clouds or it will only be the Pegasus ponies?

Just saw this right now. This sounds interesting, I really have to start catching up to the comics.

Didn't quite get it, they aren't going to the G4 world/dimension/universe/timeline/whatever it is? From what i read, it's apparently going to be G5's cloudsdale colliding with Zephyr Heights?

No it seems like they are just exploring the past of Cloudsdale

So pretty much the same thing they did before by revisiting the abandoned old locations from G4 in the early G5 comics?

That’s not a crossover though

But where it was said that it was going to be a crossover? All that I read in the description is "the world of G4 collides with the ponies of G5" "bridge between the past and the present"

Apparently this is where we got the wrong idea from, "bridge between the past and the present" and straight saying "G4" suggested that we could the G5 characters going back in time, but what they meant was that just a part of the past (G4) was going to collide with G5 (cloudsdale), I think that's it?

Though i believe they maybe could bring back a old surviving character to interact with Sunny and friends, just like they did with Discord.

Not a direct crossover at any rate, unless there's still a surprise to be revealed. 

[ThePrincess_Twilight 11]

THIS ISN'T A CROSSOVER UNLESS TWILIGHT IS JUST SAT IN DEAD CLOUDSDALE GOING ABSOLUTELY CRAZY.
