Did you grow up with the cartoon classic My Little Pony or enjoy its more contemporary version, My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic? Then you’re going to be thrilled to learn that BOOM! Studios has licensed the franchise from Hasbro and plans on bringing the beloved ponies (back!) to comics. This includes a host of new comics, alongside deluxe repackaging of older comics from the series.
If My Little Pony hasn’t been part of your life, then comics will be a perfect introduction to this magical, pony-filled world.
“At its core, My Little Pony has always been about the power of storytelling — stories that inspire friendship, kindness, and confidence across generations,” said Marianne James, Senior Vice President of Global Licensing at Hasbro. “Together with BOOM! Studios, we’re building on that legacy with new tales that celebrate everything fans have loved about the brand and invite new readers everywhere to share in its magic.”
The new My Little Pony comics will begin to release in late 2026. BOOM!’s Direct Reserve will begin to launch fancy repackaging of previous My Little Pony comics on Kickstarter in early 2026, much as they are doing with the sparkly editions of Jem and the Holograms, this year.
My Little Pony was created in 1982 and follows talking horses in the world of Equestria. It ran for two seasons, with a one season revival in 1992 dubbed My Little Pony Tales. In 2010, My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic brought the ponies back to television, where it gained a tremendous fan base and ran for nine seasons.

“My Little Pony has been a brand synonymous with friendship and adventure,” said Michael Kelly, Publisher of BOOM! Studios. “Creating new adventures for the Mane 6 within the Friendship is Magic continuity is as exciting for all of us here as it will be for the fans.”
BOOM! Studios has been scooping up the licensing rights to several classic childhood favorites in recent history. A month ago, they shared their acquisition of the previously-mentioned Jem and the Holograms, and that Kickstarter is already at $64,000. BOOM! Studios also has the rights to Power Rangers.
