My Little Pony: Fiendship Is Magic

From 2015, IDW’s My Little Pony: Fiendship Is Magic is a five-issue miniseries that flips the script on Equestria’s greatest villains. Written primarily by Christina Rice and drawn by Tony Fleecs, each issue gives a backstory to a different antagonist—exploring how they became the forces of darkness fans know from the main series. It’s a clever, character-driven expansion that adds depth to the My Little Pony universe without softening its iconic rogues.
