Article Summary

Boom Studios is launching Compact Comics editions for My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic and Jem and the Holograms.
The new Compact Comics line reprints the early IDW runs, originally launched in 2012 for Pony and 2015 for Jem.
The announcement follows the Jem and the Holograms/My Little Pony Free Comic Book Day, or Comics Giveaway Day, release.
Jem and the Holograms Book One is listed for October 2026, while My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic Book One follows in 2027.

As seen in this weekend's Jem And The Holograms/My Little Pony Free Comic Book Day… sorry, I mean Comics Giveaway Day, both Jem And The Holograms and My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic will be getting new Compact Comics editions from new publisher Boom Studios, reprinting the early IDW editions from 2015 and 2012 respectively, in the new Compact edition popularised by DC Comics. And at 9" by 6", hopefully that will fit in the DC Compact Comics shelving for the DC Comics 5.5" x 8.5" dimensions… maybe Boom will have to shave off a few millimetres…
