COMICS: Over 90,000 Copies Ordered of MY LITTLE PONY: FRIENDSHIP IS MAGIC #1

Bleedingcool reports that advance orders of the comic, based on the hit animated series, are outselling UNCANNY X-MEN. Is it just members of the female persuasion picking up the book, or is this the beginning of a "Brony" onslaught?

MY LITTLE PONY: FRIENDSHIP IS MAGIC premiered in 2010, and steadily built itself a devoted following. The show, masterminded by FOSTER'S HOME FOR IMAGINARY FRIENDS head writer, Lauren Faust, doubled its viewers from season 1 to season 2, and became something of a cult hit among older viewers as well.

Now the comic, written by Katie Cook and with interior art by Andy Price, appears to have reaped the rewards of having such a diverse fanbase.

MY LITTLE PONY: FRIENDSHIP IS MAGIC #1 hits shelves in November (if you can find a copy).

Well, at least perhaps this will kill the idea comics are just for boys. So this could be a good thing...

@kevberg...I am a pretty big howard stern fan, he had one of his guys go to a "Brony" Convention recently, was quite disturbing to find out that people like this exist.

My Little Pony sucks weanie.

It's overrated garbage and the fans are absolutely sensitive as hell. Basically if you don't like the show or say anything remotely negative about it, they will demand your head and make excuses as to why you're wrong in every way imaginable.

Ponies are lame IMO

(P.S. Cupcakes and My Little Dashie were complete shit.)
