At 1:30 PM PT, IDW Publishing hosted their Hasbro properties panel at San Diego Comic Con. All items were discussed from Transformers to G.I. Joe. Of course, we received some announcements from the My Little Pony comics. Here are some of the highlights from the panel this afternoon. Once again, thank you to Blue Ink for relaying the news from SDCC.

– Next micro series announced will be My Little Pony Micro Series #9…featuring Spike written by Rob Anderson and drawn by Agnes Garbowska. It will be about pets as he receives sea monkeys in the mail. Arrives in November.

    Kinda disappointed that the micro series is ending. Sure it’s been hit or miss, but it’s been enjoyable.

    They never said Derpy would be the one getting a micro. They only said it was a fan favorite.

    Why is there no extreme violence,blood and gore and sexual content in the two comic books series

    If it concludes with Micro #10 it’ll be Luna as fan favorite, not Derpy. Hasbro still doesn’t even allow the usage of her name.

    Price and Cook confirmed on their Twitter it’s not Derpy. Man, you people jump to conclusions too fast.

      well
      this article DID originally say that she was getting her own micro
      can’t blame people for getting excited over that

    By saying Favorite, means one of two things: that Andy’s fave pony (Sweetcream Scoops) will be the star of that mini comic. Or one fans we’re loving him/her since we saw that pony for the 1st time will have a spotlight. That’s just my theories.
