Founded by [[Ted Adams]], Alex Garner, Kris Oprisko, and [[Robbie Robbins]], in [[1999]] IDW Publishing has had a long-lasting relationship with [[Habsro]] beginning in [[2005]] when they acquired the rights to publish ''[[Transformers]]'' comics. This has sense expanded to other Hasbro properties such as ''[[G.I. Joe]]'', ''[[ROM]]'', ''[[Jem and the Holograms]]''...''CLUE'', and starting in [[2012]], ''[[My Little Pony]]''. The first IDW storyline, and generally regarded as among the best, was "[[The Return of Queen Chrysalis]]", a darker take on source material that would introduce staples that defined the comics, such as the creative team of [[Katie Cook]] and [[Andy Price]], the far more sarcastic and cartoony sense of humor, and the ponies venturing into places never seen in the cartoon show, encountering strange and unique characters and creatures in he process.
 
As of [[2021]], their work on ''Friendship is Magic'' has become one of the longest comic book seiesseries based off a television show ever produced, only beaten out by [[DC Comics]] ''Scooby-Doo'' series'. At 102 issues, it would also become one of IDW's longest running single titles.
 
In early [[2022]], a successor to ''Friendship is Magic'' simply titled ''[[My Little Pony (2022 comic)|My Little Pony]]'' was announced. This is especially notable due to [[Hasbro]] largely cutting ties with IDW due to lacking sales in their aforementioned ''Transformers'' and ''G.I. Joe'' titles. ''My Little Pony'' and ''[[Dungeons & Dragons]]'' are the only Hasbro brands remaining in IDW's roster of licenses.<ref>[https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/general-news/idw-losing-g-i-joe-transformers-license-1235078466/ IDW to Lose ‘G.I.
