"Sonic the Hedgehog: IDW Unveils Dramatic Future at IGN Fan Fest 2025"

The acclaimed Sonic the Hedgehog comic series by IDW has hit a significant milestone with its 75th issue, culminating in an epic showdown between Team Sonic and the nefarious Clutch. This intense battle led directly into a gripping new arc titled "Scattered Pieces," which continues in Sonic the Hedgehog issues #76 through #80. With issue #76 now available in stores, IGN is thrilled to offer an exclusive first look at new artwork from the penultimate chapter of this storyline during IGN Fan Fest. Dive into the slideshow gallery below to explore the three covers for Sonic the Hedgehog #79, alongside the previously unveiled "Scattered Pieces" covers.

"Scattered Pieces" is penned by the series' mainstay, Ian Flynn. For Sonic the Hedgehog #79, Adam Bryce Thomas provides the interior art and the main cover, while variant covers are crafted by Tyler Mcgrath and Nathalie Fourdraine.

Here's the official synopsis from IDW for Sonic the Hedgehog #79:

*The long-running feud between ace sniper Whisper and sinister assassin Mimic reaches its climax!*

*Only one will emerge victorious! Can Tangle and Silver shift the battle in their favor? Or will Whisper endure the pain of losing another friend to the crossfire? Brace yourself for a thrilling confrontation years in the making!*

Ian Flynn shared with IGN, "IDW’s Sonic the Hedgehog has been thriving for seven years, building a rich tapestry of storylines, characters, and unique narrative elements. Evan Stanley’s latest arc brought many of these elements to a dramatic climax. While it’s exhilarating to reach a story's peak, I'm equally excited to delve into the aftermath. Fans are eager to know 'What happens next?' My arc will answer that, tie up some loose ends, and lay the groundwork for Evan’s next major storyline."

Sonic the Hedgehog #76 is currently available in stores, with issue #77 set to release on March 19. Preorder your copy of the upcoming issue at your local comic shop by clicking here to locate your nearest store.
