My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic (comic book)
My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic was the first, and by far longest running, My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic comic book series by IDW Publishing. At just over 100 issues, Friendship is Magic is also among the longest running comic books based off TV shows and is the second longest running My Little Pony comic, just being beat out by My Little Pony Comic at around 250 issues. Due to its length, Friendship is Magic does not have a consistent tone, story, or creative staff, and thus almost every story is self-contained, but with continuity and arcs.
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, Equestrian Royal Family, Pets of Ponyville, and in very rare instances, characters such as Discord or Tempest Shadow.
