Despite what the songs say, everything is not better under the sea! The flowers are leaking green ooze, the food is filled with sand, and the coral is dying. The water is growing more treacherous, and it’s up to the newly seapony-fied Mane Six and their ragtag group of pirates (and princesses) to get to the bottom of things, even if that means exploring the dark trenches everypony fears. The barnacle-covered truth of the Sparkling Sea is soon to be revealed.

Ah, another beautiful day in the Sparkling Sea—krrzzhh— Ahoy there, squids and scoundrels! Pull up a clamshell and listen to our tale of captured princ—krrzzhh—Ahem, sorry about that, everypony. It seems our solicit was interrupted by some sort of pirate radio signal… Whoever that was definitely wasn’t going to say anything about a captured princess. Nope. Everything is toootally fine under the Sparkling Sea. Princess Pipp Petals is on a super-standard diplomatic mission, and any meddling princess sisters do not need to worry about her whereabouts or the crumbling coral around the palace. Please enjoy this completely not suspicious comic!

Set your sail for the Seven Seas because the Seaponies are swimming into comics for the first time ever! See the mane six totally transformed. Pestering the queen into sending messages in bottles to the fabled Seapony kingdoms is just one of the many perks to having royal besties…which is exactly what Izzy has been doing ever since first reading about mythical Seaponies in Sunny’s old history book. So when Queen Haven hears back from the Queen of the Sparkling Seas, Izzy is eager to dive into the adventure of a lifetime. Pipp, on the other hoof, is not excited about her princess duties or having to reschedule a new song release (plus, saltwater totally ruins her shiny mane). The voyage should be smooth sailing, but the tides are changing, a storm is brewing, and Izzy and Pipp are swimming right into it…

Pipp was totally salty about being sent to the seven seas for princess duties, so when Zipp receives an oddly chipper message from her sister, Zipp is more suspicious than a clownfish in a clamshell. She takes matters into her own hooves—er, fins and travels to the Sparkling Sea where she meets Princess Anemone. The sea princess’ odd behavior and Pipp’s absence make Zipp wonder if she can trust the seaponies and if their sparkles are only scale-deep.

Sunny has read every book about leadership, coaching roller skating, roller derby, the Kenbucky Derby, the history of the wh—well, a lot of books, but the newly formed Maretime Bay Brawlers can barely run a successful play. Pipp, hoping to boost their spirits, blasts some tunes and lowers the disco ball, and the team skates like a dream! All they needed was a bit of fun! But with the Kenbucky Derby just around the corner, Sunny doesn’t have time for disco breaks.

What do you get when you cross three of the Federation’s most celebrated sons with a misguided god? An alternate reality full of lessons that may be just what the doctor ordered.

The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles have beaten Mr. Ogg’s first game, but he’s too genre-savvy to give up that easily! With two more challenges to go, there’s still enough time for him to make a comeback. The good guys may always win, but the scheming trickster from Dimension Z has found a catch: what if the Heroes in a Half-Shell aren’t the only good guys in the room? The games continue in part two of the Ogglympics!

It’s a good day to die! Left with no other choice, the crew of the Defiant assists Hugh in assimilating B’Elanna in hopes of reclaiming control over the parasite embedded in her brain stem.
