This current comic, the first part in the Cosmos arc, I would say is a alright start. Most of the problems I have are not with the comic itself but with the the dynamics introduced and or implied, but I'm not going to get into that at the moment. I say for the overall set up. Andalusian constellation backstory, Twilight and the others spiting up to go find all the fallen stars, etc. Was done okay. I didn't find the Mane6 acting out of character. Twilight's enthusiasm for such things covering for any odd behavior and mainly Apple Jack having a hint of suspicion is pretty believable of how I think such an ordeal would play out in the show. In fact it is perhaps better than some canon incidents with impostors if I'm being wholly honest. My favorite parts was when Possessed Twilight and Apple Jack fought, because Earth Ponies need more love and seeing AJ put up a fight was nice over being just magically immobilized or being stupid and Discord and Fluttershy accidentally bringing one of the stars to Cosmos. Maybe some would call it arbitrary but honestly I'd call it pretty cleaver over having some arbitrary rule or strange logic that we have seen the comics and show sometimes resort too. The point is I can fully see Fluttershy wanting to do this and she made some pretty good points (with perhaps Celestia having a good track record with threats being something that I could find issue with in an overall canon context but I still don't know enough of the comic canon and as for the show I'm trying to judge this as a work in itself). Now as for the issues? The art was a bit all over the place in quality. It's hard to judge as somewhat sloppy and loose can be a stylistic choice yet sometimes the characters do seem just poorly drawn outright. There are other moments that look outright great, above the what I usually see in these comics. I don't think the ponies need to be drawn consistent on model and a sloopy loose style can work but sometimes they feel too wonky . Would I like about Comsos is that she is intimidating and interesting in some of the implications around her existence and actions, but I have issue with the overall dynamic she sets up, but I'll get to these things later. 7/10 is my rating.
