The comic is presented in much the same way as the show. It is a sitcom, slice-of-life, high adventure blend with both episodic and arc-centric storytellig alike, with shades of longform storytelling here and there. Like the show, it primarily features the [[Mane Six]], but fairly frequently has equal emphasis on other characters, such as the [[Cutie Mark Crusaders (Friendship is Magic)|Cutie Mark Crusaders]], [[Equestrian Royal Family]], [[Pets of Ponyville]], and in very rare instances, characters such as {{FIM|Discord}} or [[Tempest Shadow]].

For the most part, the comics simply featured stories. Some, however, would feature an additional 'backup story' which as much shorter then the main (often less then 4 pages long), usually with a different artist and writer. These stories were often unrelated to the main story, but in rare instances served to give additional context, such as in {{C|FIM|4}} and {{C|FIM|10}}. In addition to stories, comics occasionally had cover-galleries or interviews with staff members. Digital additions would often include free previews of other comics, usually from new or upcoming miniseries, specials, or annuals.
