IDW introduces the My Little Pony Micro-Fun Pack!

IDW has announced a brand-new format in which fans can enjoy comics, the Micro-Fun Pack! This new mini-comic line will be available on November 15th, featuring four My Little Pony issues: Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash and Applejack. Everyone’s favorite ponies will all be shrinking down to a new 5.75” x 3.75” size, designed to bring the world of My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic into your school bags and pockets.

With the new size also comes new content. The comics have also been re-lettered to adjust for the new size.

Each micro-fun pack comes with a complete 22-page micro-comic book that’s been re–formatted for the size. On top of adjusting for size, the content of the book has been updated as well, with a two-page My Little Pony play set splash page in the middle of each book, which provides the perfect backdrop for arranging the removable sticker also included in each pack. In addition, a three-page “How-to-Draw” tutorial has been added to each issue, sure to bring joy to any aspiring artist.  On top of the comic and sticker, each pack also contains one of 16 different foldout posters and tattoos. That means My Little Pony fans will have plenty of opportunity to collect and trade these goodies with their friends.

Available this November in select Walmart, Target and Toys R’ Us stores, The My Little Pony Micro-Fun Pack is small in stature, but huge in fun! Pre-order yours now. Another example of IDW thinking outside the box and getting today’s comics into new retail channels and in front of new audiences.
