IDW Publishing, an American comic publisher which has been publishing tie-in comic books to Hasbro properties since 2005, began to publish monthly My Little Pony comics starting time in November 2012. The comics published and then far are based on the characters from the 2010 relaunch of the franchise and its idiot box series My Fiddling Pony: Friendship Is Magic, likewise as the anthropomorphic spin-off Equestria Girls. The flagship monthly publication, My Trivial Pony: Friendship Is Magic , is accompanied by a secondary monthly title. In addition to these publications, IDW has likewise published several one-off issues.

The comics follow the studious Twilight Sparkle (originally a unicorn, later given a pair of wings) and her friends in adventures throughout the empire of Equestria. Though the comic, like the TV series, is aimed at young children, the writers and artists have consistently taken risks, including expanding Sombra's storyline, the Friendship is Magic miniseries, introducing little violence, and more. They have been well received, having presented complex, multi-outcome story arcs, and included fabric to entreatment to the broad older fandom, featuring cultural references and show elements enjoyed past them.[one]

The kickoff issue saw more than than 100,000 pre-orders prior to its release, making it one of the best-selling comics of both the calendar month and the year, requiring IDW to issue a 2nd printing; it was only 1 of two not-DC or not-Curiosity comics to be in the top 100 comics sold in 2012. Subsequent issues were monthly best sellers and represented IDW'southward highest-selling property. Journalists in the comic industry noted that with the older fans probable buying comics for the first time in many years, along with child fans purchasing comic books for the kickoff fourth dimension, the success of the My Little Pony comic could assist the ailing manufacture. The first outcome was highly praised for capturing the spirit of the characters and presentation of the show while providing a good introduction to its mythos for those who were unfamiliar with it.

Concept and creation [edit]

Hasbro's My Little Pony franchise, started in the 1980s, has had several animated television series and direct-to-video movies to help promote and sell the associated toy line collection; over the years, there have been four "generations" of designs and associated characters and setting.[2] [three] In 2010, Hasbro aimed to relaunch the My Little Pony line, post-obit the contempo success of the re-envisioning of the Transformers franchise, and brought in animator Lauren Faust as the artistic programmer for the show; in addition to developing the looks and characters to be featured in the toy line, Faust was also tasked with creating a new tie-in show as to provide programming for its new cable network, The Hub (now Discovery Family; owned by Discovery Communications and Hasbro).[four] [five] Faust's previous experience on shows like The Powerpuff Girls and Foster'due south Home for Imaginary Friends led to her developing a show that would have cross-generational appeal to young girls and the parents that would watch the testify with them. Her characters were designed to challenge the norm of girl stereotypes while still keeping the archetypes every bit familiar figures. Faust worked with several erstwhile co-writers from her previous shows (including her husband and animator Craig McCracken), and with the directors at DHX Media'due south 2nd animation studio (formerly Studio B Productions) in Vancouver, British Columbia, where the show would be produced to make full out the world.[6]

The resulting show, My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic, was well received by parents, but found another unexpected target audience through the Internet photograph-board, 4chan, primarily developed males from 13 to 35 years sometime. Quickly expanding through the Net, the fandom came to use the term "brony" (a portmanteau of "bro" and "pony") to describe themselves.[vii] [8] The brony fandom is attributed to Faust and her creative team for including strong characters, cross-generational appeal, cultural references, the testify's expressive Flash-based blitheness, and the ability for the showrunners to communicate and reciprocate with the fandom, such every bit including fan-derived elements within the bear witness.[8] [9] [10] Hasbro was also caught off-guard by this surprise demographic but have come to embrace it, using licensing deals to market wearing apparel, media, and other merchandise beyond the toys to the older audition.[five] [11]

One such avenue was the creation of a comic series; in that location had previously been no mass-market My Piffling Pony comics, albeit it does have "stock comics" featured in various licensed children'southward magazines such as Sparkle Globe, which even continues to do and then. Hasbro's Director of Global Publishing Michael Kelly had introduced the idea to Hasbro following success of IDW Publishing's publications of K.I. Joe and Transformers comics, where it initially met some skepticism.[12] Kelly and IDW helped to show internally that the current iteration of the My Piddling Pony show was readily transferred to comics due to its mode and humor.[12] Hasbro and IDW announced its licensing deal at the San Diego Comic-Con International in July 2012. Katie Cook and Andy Price were announced as the first arc'due south author and illustrator, respectively; Cook had previous experience at both DC Comics and Marvel Comics, along with her ain webcomic "Gronk", while Price had been involved with DC and the Batman Archives series.[13] Cook stated that she has been a My Little Pony fan from the showtime generation of toys, and found that with this series, "the characters are strong and lovable, the stories are well-written, and in that location's an underlying sense of humor to the show that'south very hip", making it a "groovy all-ages property".[14]

Melt aimed to write the stories for the comic to be something that she herself would enjoy "as a Pony fan and an all-ages writer", and planned to continue in the spirit of the show,[xiv] avoiding the feel of a "freebie Barbie comic" that would otherwise be packaged with toys.[15] She farther stated that she wanted to write an all-ages book, something that parents can share and read with their children.[16] Like the show, she had included pop cultural references that adults will get, but does non try to shoehorn these in.[xvi] She used the outset 4-story arc as a means for herself to become comfortable in writing for the characters, thus bringing back an established villain equally the antagonist for the first story.[16] Cook does programme to introduce new characters and settings in later problems.[16] She noted that the commencement story includes dark and scary elements, just she does not consider them any darker than the bear witness itself.[16] At the 2013 San Diego Comic Convention, Cook commented that in considering how dark to take the stories, "My personal gauge is Dark Crystal. If it's darker than the Skeksis sucking the life out of a Podling, I don't go at that place."[17] Though normally Cook would write and draw her own comics, her work in the My Little Pony comic was her first foray into writing out a script and directing others to describe out the art.[15] She expressed pleasance at working with Cost has they have worked well together in the past.[14] Even so, Cook does go along to do some of the art; the first issue contains a short two-page comic written and drawn past herself.[16]

Cost himself is influenced by works of comic artists including Don Newton and José Luis García-López.[xviii] He himself includes some of the pop cultural references within the art beyond those written in by Melt.[xviii] Price noted that his popularity, measured by Twitter followed, grew explosively afterward the comic's announcement, and compares working on the comic to his previous efforts at DC and Marvel, "beingness the artist on this volume is an experience completely dissimilar any other".[eighteen]

Price has stated that Hasbro does give them liberty to write and describe the comic every bit they run into fit, typically merely asking for changes to achieve "a piddling chip more than show accuracy".[19] In one case, they had a story planned that Hasbro told them was beingness done within the show, and had to scrap information technology; in another example, they had initially planned to open the first event with the Cutie Mark Crusaders camping, but institute that the prove already had a similar scene, within the Season 3 episode "Sleepless in Ponyville", and altered these pages for something different.[xix] Other elements of the show take been considered "off limits" for the comics until blessed by Hasbro; the villain Discord was considered one of these until the get-go of Flavor iv of the testify which changed aspects of his graphic symbol, after which Hasbro allowed the comic to utilise the grapheme.[20] Price states they tried to go along their novel stories "copacetic" with the show, giving them the chance to have some risks; he stated that Hasbro was initially "scared to death" with their "Reflections" arc, which incorporates many science fiction elements such every bit alternating universe, but ended upward pleased with the result.[21]

Characters and continuity [edit]

The comics have identify in the same fictional universe every bit the television show, in the land of Equestria which is populated primarily past ponies (including unicorns and pegasi), along with numerous other sentient and non-sentient creatures. The primary characters of the comic include:
