The IDW artist Natalie Haines has responded to speculation that IDW will "slow down" its My Little Pony comics. According to her, IDW still has multiple G4 and G5 comics in the works. They will likely be released in the coming year, so the G5 comics may continue after My Little Pony: Tell Your Tale ends.
Recently, the website Bleeding Cool posted speculative articles that discussed MLP comics. The first article claimed that IDW might have lost its license to make MLP comics, and the second further asserted that IDW's MLP comics would be slowed down due to G5's poor audience reception. Bleeding Cool is notable because it currently gets to exclusively publish IDW's solicitations (lists of upcoming comics) one day early, on Thursday instead of Friday.
