My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic is an ongoing Hasbro-licensed series of full-color comics by IDW Publishing. It consists of original story arcs set after the second season of the show. Later stories, billed as "Season 10", serve as a continuation of the series after the conclusion of season nine.[1]

Andy Price drew inspiration for the comic from the collection Creepy Presents Bernie Wrightson.[2]

Rainbow Dash's cutie mark is often drawn backwards in relation to her appearance in the show due to an initial misconception caused by inaccurate merchandise; Heather Breckel, the colorist of the main series, stated that she continued drawing it that way for consistency to avoid confusion.[3]

The first issue's third, fourth, ninth, and sixteenth pages were displayed at the New York My Little Pony Project 2012.

Two characters appearing in the series are Octavia Melody and Jim, "a very specific character" named by Katie Cook, implicitly after Jim Miller.[4][5] Katie Cook and Andy Price hinted in September 2012 that Wild Fire may appear in the series.[4][6][7]

The series so far consists of original stories set after the events of the second season of the show,[8] occurring before the final episode of the third season. As of issue #13, stories are set after Twilight's princess coronation.[9]

Content from this series also appears in compilations and related releases.

By October 11, 2012, issue #1 had sold 90,100 pre-order copies in North America, a higher figure than the contemporary Uncanny X-Men sales.[10][11] As of October 2013, the entire series has sold one million copies.[12]
