TRANSFORMERS and MY LITTLE PONY Are Getting Another Crossover Comic From IDW
IDW has announced a sequel to its My Little Pony / Transformers Hasbro crossover, which is titled My Little Pony / Transformers: Friendship in Disguise II. This will be a four-part monthly limited series and it will launch in April.
It’s so weird seeing the two classic 80s properties come together like this. I haven’t read these comics, but I know there’s a decent-sized fanbase that enjoy them. So… this is for you.
The description for the upcoming comic reads:
While using a modified Spacebridge to bring magic to Cybertron, the Decepticons end up unleashing a more powerful evil from Equestria than they ever could've imagined. Two worlds collide in the return of this hit crossover concept.”
The first issue comes from writers James Asmus and Sam Maggs, and artists Jack Lawrence and Casey W. Coller. Maggs said in a statement:
"I can't wait to jump back into this world of magical friendships that really is More than Meets the Eye. It's such a blast coming up with the most fun (and downright weird) pairings of ponies and 'bots, and I think fans of both series are going to be surprised at what's we've got for them this second time around!"
Asmus added:
"The first crossover was about as much fun as I've had in my writing career. I am hugely delighted that we're not only doing a follow-up, but getting to flip the script. In the first series, we got to tell really charming and fun stories by tossing the Autobots and Decepticons into the colorful, magical world of Equestria. But now, dragging dark magic and friendly ponies into the sci-fi world of Cybertron lets us play with brand new tones, toys, and team-ups!"
My Little Pony / Transformers II #1 will be available with multiple cover variants including cover A by Tony Fleecs, cover B by Bethany McGuire-Smith, and two retailer incentive editions featuring art by Jon Gray and Anna Malkova.
