It's great to see a comic announced that's actually going to have PROPER ART, instead of the lazy vector hack-jobs that have surrounded G4 since the beginning.

Still fantastic news all the same, means Pony fans can look forward Free Comic Book Day next year hopefully ; )

I believe if you order direct from the publisher ( https://shop.idwpublishing.com/) that would be possible, there's a strong possibility they'll release the comics in digital form too.

You can always set up a subscription through your local comic book store too : )

Call me unconventional but I just feel weird having to go to a store just for the comic.  maybe I'll investigate an online subs.

As long as they don't turn creepy, I think that sounds fantastic!  Can't wait to read them  :)

An FiM comic? Released by IDW?? This is just... beyond amazing. *_*  :whoa: :whoa:

I'd definitely buy it!!

Too bad I don't live in the US... :(  :cry:

Wow thats an interesting pick up by IDW...guess ponies truly are reaching whole new markets if they think this is going to be worth their while to do!

Well, well...  I might think about supporting a FiM comic just to show my support for the NA market.  The UK generally gets more publications!

Good! A reason to support my amazing local comic store!  Can't wait.  And Katie Cook's stuff is quality.

I absolutely love the style guide drawing at the bottom of the linked page. The little voice bubble notes are neat, and it's cool to see how each pony translates to the artists' style. This is going to be really neat!

I can't wait until this comes out!!!! My local knitting group meets at a comic book shop so now I have another way to support the business here.  I hope they put out a lot, I think they will go over really well based on the way they're being described.

I'm totally down for this! :D My wallet won't be too happy though. :P

I hope this will be as cute (to me at least) as the G1 comics.  I'll have to wait to see them and read them in person, but right now, I am not excited in the least for this.

I wonder when the release date will be.  I currently have my Australian comic shop ship me comics to China.  But obviously when I get to San Diego, I will be finding a local comic shop.  Do I wait until I get to San Diego, or do I ask my Australian shop to add them to my order?

If it's going to have villains, I'll pass.

Where will they be available to purchase? Everyone's saying to go to a local comic book shop but I haven't seen one in over 5 years... I thought they all went out of business lol. Will they be available at, say, stores like Walmart, Target, or Toys R Us???
