My Little Pony Classics Reimagined: The Unicorn of Odd is a four-issue comic written by Megan Brown and drawn by Jenna Ayoub. It is the second comic in the Classics Reimagined series following Little Fillies. It was released on August 23, 2023. The story is an adaptation of the book The Wonderful Wizard of Oz.

In the land of Ponyville, Kansas lived a young girl named Dorothy (Applejack) who lives in peace with her Auntie Em (Granny Smith) and Uncle Henry (Big Macintosh) and her pet dog Toto (Winona). One day a tornado arrived at the farm carrying both Dorothy and Toto away. The two of them ended up in the Land of Odd where they accidently crushed the Wicked Witch of the East (Princess Luna). The Good Princess of the North (Princess Celestia) appears before Dorothy and tells her to find The Unicorn of Odd who can help her get back home. She also gives Dorothy the witch's silver horseshoes and tells her not to remove them as they contain powerful magic. On her journey Dorothy meets a scarecrow (Pinkie Pie), a tinmare (Rarity), and a cowardly lion (Fluttershy) who agree to work together to see The Unicorn of Odd in hopes of making their wishes come true.
