I am a biiiiitttt scared of Hasbro. Is it OK if I start a pony comic? Not using ANY character or ANY name that is found on MLP? :c Serisouly.. Im scared like hell. Haha.
Hasbro's opinion and decisions regarding copyright are real complicated, but I doubt they'd Cease & Desist a fan comic that has no canon characters. Button Mash was only C&D'd because they never had permission from hasbro to start their own animated series. Art is usually different.
