A My Little Pony comic book series based on the cartoon show of the same name. Published by IDW, with a rotating creative team, the series was first announced at the 2012 San Diego Comic-Con, with the first issue released on November 28, 2012.The series has proven a hot seller, reportedly pulling in lots of bronies who haven't bought comics in years and presumably also kids who have never bought them before. In 2012, the first issue, along with Image Comics' The Walking Dead, were the only two non-DC, non-Marvel comic titles to be listed in the top 100 comics of the year. Individual issues have been IDW's top selling comic for each month regularly placing in the top titles sold in those months.The series begins with a pair of four-issue Story Arcs, with the first featuring the return of Queen Chrysalis, the villain of the Season 2 finale. Other stories span one or two issues. Some issues also have a two page back-up story. This series is notably the first major part of the Friendship Is Magic Expanded Universe, and promises to follow the same all-ages tone that made the show so popular, although the comics sometimes go a little crazier with the characters than the TV series.It was announced at the 2019 New York Comic Con that the comic, starting with issue 89, will continue where the show left off in its own self-contained "Season 10".After running for nine years, the comic book series concluded with issue #102.This page also covers the Annual comics and one-shot specials. Most of these focus on either the Equestria Girls spin-off franchise or an Alternate Universe like the Power Ponies.See the Recap page to see summaries and tropes based on the individual story arcs. The comic also has a Shout Out page.See also the other My Little Pony series put out by IDW: My Little Pony Micro Series (completed) — a ten-issue run, each issue focusing on a single character.

Not an early April's Fool Joke nor an unofficial fancomic or even a Robot Chicken sketch. The worlds of Transformers and My Little Pony collide in a four-part monthly crossover. (Originally planned for May 2020; suspended due to Diamond shutdown and released on August 5, 2020.) Now returning with a new sequel on April 28, 2021. | |

Creator Cameo | |
| My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (IDW) (Comic Book) / int_127fc252 | comment |
Creator Cameo: Just a few... Katie Cook has appeared throughout as a green unicorn mare (often wearing a kerchief headwear) with a word-balloon cutie mark. She has also had her husband Ryan appear as a mule in issue #1, with her laughing at him, as light-hearted revenge for his dislike of Fluttershy. This also counts as an indirect example of Interspecies Romance. And despite her personally being younger than Andy, Andy Price drew her next to him in the yearbook (the bottom two left ponies on the Juniors page) on his variant cover for Issue #11 . Andy Price has drawn himself along with his wife Alice as pony characters at least thrice (Issue #1, #9 and the Rarity Micro-comic); his OC is Leadwing, a blue earth pony with a Batman-like cutie mark (part of his previous pedigree), while his wife's OC is a red-headed unicorn mare with a bird-like emblem cutie mark. Both Katie and Andy may have become Ascended Fanboys as their OCs appeared as concept art images for Season 5 of the show. Both characters later had cameos in the episode "Princess Spike." Heather Breckel, the colorist for most of the comics in both the main and micro, has her ponified Angie OC appear in the Rarity microcomic. | |

Darker and Edgier | |
| My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (IDW) (Comic Book) / int_14beeefd | comment |
Darker and Edgier: Storylines are much more mature, Death is actually referred to as such, a lot more of focus is put on the teeth and eyes of characters (in all their icky glory), and the writers are not afraid to include more involved fight scenes and look at some of the more disturbing aspects of Equestrian life, such as just what the Changelings do to their victims. The comic as a whole features a lot of content the cartoon could never get away with in terms of copyright restrictions or Moral Guardians. | |

Wolverine Publicity: Some of the variant covers prominently feature popular background ponies like Derpy, Time Turner, and DJ Pon-3. The main cover for Issue #10 has nothing but background ponies. Most of the covers for the 2013 Annual feature Twilight Sparkle very prominently. She only gets a cameo in The Fall of Sunset Shimmer short and doesn't appear in the main story at all. Hot Topic's covers tend to have zero to do with the actual story but feature popular background characters, commonly Trixie. Issues #21 and #22 feature Season 4 fan favorites Maud Pie and Cheese Sandwich, respectively. | |

Loose Canon | |
| My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (IDW) (Comic Book) / int_4378c556 | comment |
Loose Canon: As the writers for the comics don't collaborate with the writers for the show beyond Hasbro telling IDW what is off-limits for them to cover, the show and the comics often go in different directions, and the show tends to not specifically reference the comics or care if it contradicts them. This results in discrepancies in the lore of the two that are impossible to reconcile. Things get even more complicated with the later comics that reference things that happened in the show that explicitly contradict something established in earlier issues of the comics. The result is that it is simply impossible for all the comics to be canonical, and it's up to fan interpretation on an individual basis to decide which they consider canon or not and how to explain the Continuity Snarls between the two. | |

Zigzagged with Cassie the Kelpie; although not a lot of attention is paid to it In-Universe, where she is Easily Forgiven, Rainbow Dash does at least make an attempt to call her out on her choice to brainwash the entirety of Ponyville to tear down a dam and flood their homes instead of just asking for help to retrieve her friends. | |

Covers Always Lie | |
| My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (IDW) (Comic Book) / int_7315fd38 | comment |
Covers Always Lie: Most of the revealed covers are sort of just generic "ponies being cute/cool" and very few so far even hint at the return of changelings. Not that we don't expect ponies being cute/cool or anything, but Rainbow Dash doesn't go snowboarding or dressing up as a superhero in Issue #1. Inverted though in other cases, in that the covers are directly using single-page spreads from the comic. In one case, Issue #9's BronyCon exclusive Comics World variant used a full page spread from the story that basically was part of a major joke in the comic, to the point that the writer and artist of the issue, Katie Cook and Andy Price, were annoyed with how much it spoiled. Played straight with the primary cover for #9. Played with for one of the covers for #10◊. While the depicted scene doesn't occur, fireworks and explosions do feature prominently thanks to the Crusaders attempts at fireworks operating cutie marks. | |

Expanded Universe: This series will be the biggest part of it. There have been short "G4" comics and stories found in little girls' magazines before this, but they simply used stock art with poor writing. This series has promised to follow more closely to the show's continuity and tone, while also having the opportunity to flesh out some things that can't be covered in a 22-minute episode. Katie Cook explains that she is writing each 4-issue story with content roughly equal to two 22-minute episodes. | |

Reference Overdosed: Even more so than the show, especially in the Cook/Price issues. The other writers & artists tone it down a little, but there's still a few shout outs per issue. There's also an interesting case of seeing different tastes in shout outs; Andy Price for example seems fond of old-school Western sci-fi & pop-culture while Amy Mebberson has a tendency to draw ponified Disney & Anime characters. | |

| My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (IDW) (Comic Book) / int_9d29321a | comment |
Can't Argue with Elves: The Deer in issues 27-28; nobody ever even mentions the possibility of pointing out the things they did wrong, despite the fact that they were clearly the antagonists in the story. Zigzagged with Cassie the Kelpie; although not a lot of attention is paid to it In-Universe, where she is Easily Forgiven, Rainbow Dash does at least make an attempt to call her out on her choice to brainwash the entirety of Ponyville to tear down a dam and flood their homes instead of just asking for help to retrieve her friends. | |

Continuity Nod | |
| My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (IDW) (Comic Book) / int_9dab0a6e | comment |
Continuity Nod: The Hot Topic exclusive issue 4 cover references gags from both "Call of the Cutie" and "Super Speedy Cider Squeezy 6000". Andy Price's cover variant for Issue #11 calls back to Cheerilee's "80's look" from "Call of the Cutie", mentions Moondancer, the pony who's party Twilight didn't want to go to in the first episode, and then touches on several minor characters, including Lyra, Minuette (Colgate), Caramel, and Thunderlane. Even Wheat Grass, introduced from the Rarity micro-comic, makes an appearance. | |

Arc Villain | |
| My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (IDW) (Comic Book) / int_ad9559e6 | comment |
Arc Villain: Almost every arc has had an antagonist of some kind, from heavy hitters like Queen Chrysalis, Nightmare Rarity, and a Mirror Universe Princess Celestia, to a common thief and a high school bully. The only arc so far without an antagonist of any kind is Zen & The Art of Gazebo Repair, it's just Big Mac experiencing a ton of bad luck. | |

Artistic License: Amy Mebberson often draws AJ without her hat; she states that with the hat, this limits how much she can draw of AJ in certain poses and chooses to forgo it instead. | |

Locked Out of the Loop: Meta-wise, the comic is one of a handful of Hasbro properties not taking part in the Revolution (2016) event and not part of the Shared Universe that it's set to create. | |

Depending on the Writer | |
| My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (IDW) (Comic Book) / int_fdc4fab4 | comment |
Depending on the Writer: Like the show, different issues will have different tones and approaches to the characters & universe. A notable example is that Heather Nuhfer and Katie Cook seem to have different opinions on how to approach Princess Twilight's way of dealing with outlaws. In the Nuhfer-written pirates Story Arc Twilight tries to use her Princess status to make a peaceful deal with a group of pony pirates, when they threaten to kidnap her she magically zaps them into submission. Katie Cook on the other hand has Twilight refuse to use her magic on cattle bandits even when they're clearly breaking the law and attacking her friends, on the basis they're legal, sentient citizens of Equestria. | |
