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

IDW's long-running Sonic the Hedgehog series recently celebrated a significant milestone with the release of its 75th issue. In Sonic the Hedgehog #75, readers witnessed the epic conclusion of the battle between Team Sonic and the villainous Clutch. This dramatic showdown has set the stage for the next thrilling storyline, aptly titled "Scattered Pieces," which will unfold across issues #76-80. With issue #76 now available in stores, IGN is thrilled to provide an exclusive first look at new art from the penultimate chapter of this captivating saga during IGN Fan Fest. Dive into the slideshow gallery below to explore the three stunning covers for Sonic the Hedgehog #79, along with the previously revealed "Scattered Pieces" covers.

"Scattered Pieces" is penned by the series' regular writer, Ian Flynn. Sonic the Hedgehog #79 showcases interior art and a main cover by Adam Bryce Thomas, complemented by variant covers designed by Tyler Mcgrath and Nathalie Fourdraine.

Here's IDW's official synopsis 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!

Ian Flynn shared his thoughts on the series with IGN, stating, "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, with issue #77 set to hit shelves on March 19. Preorder your copy of the upcoming issue at your local comic shop (click here to find your local shop).
