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

IDW's acclaimed Sonic the Hedgehog comic series recently celebrated a significant milestone with the release of its 75th issue. Sonic the Hedgehog #75 showcased the epic conclusion of the battle between Team Sonic and the nefarious villain, Clutch. This issue paved the way for an intriguing follow-up story arc titled "Scattered Pieces," which is set to unfold across issues #76 through #80. With Sonic the Hedgehog #76 now available in stores, IGN is thrilled to offer an exclusive glimpse into the penultimate chapter of this gripping storyline during IGN Fan Fest. Dive into the slideshow gallery below to explore the stunning three covers for Sonic the Hedgehog #79, alongside the previously unveiled "Scattered Pieces" covers.

"Scattered Pieces" is masterfully penned by the series' regular writer, Ian Flynn. Sonic the Hedgehog #79 boasts interior art and a main cover crafted by Adam Bryce Thomas, complemented by variant covers designed 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 is coming to a climactic showdown!

Only one of these former comrades will walk away! Can Tangle and Silver help turn the tide of battle? Or will Whisper suffer another friend getting caught in the crossfire? It’s a thrilling battle years in the making!

In a statement to IGN, Flynn expressed his excitement about the series' direction: "IDW’s Sonic the Hedgehog has been going strong for seven years now, and in that time has cultivated a number of storylines, characters, and narrative elements it can call its own. A lot of those all came to a head in Evan Stanley’s latest arc. Reaching a story’s climax is always fun, but I’m also just as eager to explore the follow-up. There will be a lot of fans asking 'What happens next?' My arc gets to answer that, bring a few conclusions of my own, and set the stage for Evan’s next major arc with the series."

Sonic the Hedgehog #76 is currently available in stores, and fans can look forward to issue #77, set to hit shelves on March 19. Preorder your copy at your local comic shop by clicking here to find your nearest location.
