Publisher BOOM! Studios has partnered with Hasbro to publish brand-new My Little Pony comics, beginning in 2026.
The My Little Pony franchise has a long history in comics. Perhaps most notably was the My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic series, which ran for 102 issues at IDW between 2012–2021. Further stories have developed characters such as Sunny Starscout and Izzy Moonbow. Now, publisher BOOM! Studios announced that it has licensed from Hasbro, a leading games, IP and toy company, the publishing rights to the longtime fan-favorite IP, My Little Pony. The deal was first teased during New York Comic Con 2025.
“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.”
“Since 1982, 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.”
Fans can expect all-new comics within the My Little Pony franchise to arrive in late 2026, along with a BOOM! Direct Reserve Campaign collecting the previous runs of My Little Pony comics, set to launch on Kickstarter early 2026. Currently, BOOM! Studios is running a similar campaign for JEM AND THE HOLOGRAMS for the next 27 days.
No writers or artists are currently attached to the new run of comics.
