Press Release:
Gallop Into Equestria with New My Little Pony Comic Series from BOOM!
[Los Angeles, CA]—[August 31, 2026]—Come along for the ride as award-winning author Seanan McGuire and beloved My Little Pony artist Amy Mebberson lead fans to new stories from the heart of Equestria.
When a Pinkie Pie prank turns into a birthday cake disaster, one of Twilight Sparkle’s beloved books is ruined in the chaos. The Mane Six must set out on a quest to find a new copy of the book that Twilight Sparkle believes might hold the key to learning how to fix broken friendships.
“There is no story of my life that is not always a story about My Little Pony,” said author Seanan McGuire about the new series. “I love these candy-colored horses as I have loved little else in this world, and I am honored and overjoyed to be telling part of their story, with such a talented team around me! FRIENDSHIP IS MAGIC, and so are comics!”
To celebrate the new series, BOOM! will bring the magic to New York Comic-Con with Kayou × BOOM! × My Little Pony NYCC Exclusive Cover Cards. Featuring unique art, these collectible cover cards will be available at the BOOM! And Kayou booth between October 8-11 in anticipation for the new series launch this November.
“I count myself so lucky to have been a part of My Little Pony comics for the last 12 years and have had the honor and joy of making so many new friends telling these stories together,” said artist Amy Membberson. “Now, I couldn’t be more thrilled to be teaming up with Seanan, one of my oldest, dearest friends to keep bringing the Magic of Friendship to Boom! and comic-lovers everywhere.”
This debut issue of the all-new MY LITTLE PONY: FRIENDSHIP IS MAGIC series from BOOM! has been created with fans old and young alike in mind! So giddy-up, reader, as we return to the land of Equestria with a whole series of never-before-seen comic adventures for Twilight Sparkle, Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash, Applejack, and Rarity.
“FRIENDSHIP IS MAGIC represents, for me, that second golden age of animation we all experienced throughout the 2010s; and getting to return to that—with absolute legends like Seanan and Amy—is a dream come true,” said letterer Jodie Troutman. “This is truly an all-star team of a comic book.”
The series will launch November 11, 2026 with MY LITTLE PONY: FRIENDSHIP IS MAGIC (2026) #1. Releasing monthly, this five-issue run is available for preorder at your local comic shop. Digital copies can be purchased from content providers, including iBooks, Google Play, and Kindle.

ABOUT SEANAN MCGUIRE
Seanan McGuire is a native Californian, which has resulted in her being exceedingly laid-back about venomous wildlife, and terrified of weather. Seanan is the author of the October Daye, InCryptid, and Indexing series of urban fantasies; the Newsflesh trilogy; the Parasitology duology; and the "Velveteen vs." superhero shorts. Her cats, Lilly, Alice, and Thomas, are plotting world domination even as we speak, but are easily distracted by feathers on sticks, so mankind is probably safe. For now.
