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

IDW's iconic Sonic the Hedgehog comic series recently celebrated a significant achievement with the release of its 75th issue. In Sonic the Hedgehog #75, fans witnessed the epic conclusion of the battle between Team Sonic and the nefarious Clutch, setting the stage for the gripping follow-up storyline titled "Scattered Pieces."

"Scattered Pieces" will continue to unfold across issues #76 to #80 of Sonic the Hedgehog. With issue #76 already available in stores, IGN is thrilled to offer an exclusive first look at new artwork from the penultimate chapter of this storyline, showcased at IGN Fan Fest. Dive into the slideshow gallery below to explore the stunning three covers for Sonic the Hedgehog #79, along with the previously unveiled "Scattered Pieces" covers:

Crafted by the series' veteran writer, Ian Flynn, Sonic the Hedgehog #79 boasts interior art and a main cover by the talented Adam Bryce Thomas. Additionally, variant covers are brought to life by artists Tyler Mcgrath and Nathalie Fourdraine.

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

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

*Only one of these former comrades will emerge victorious! Can Tangle and Silver tip the scales in Whisper's favor? Or will Whisper face yet another loss in the crossfire? It’s a thrilling battle that's been years in the making!*

"IDW’s Sonic the Hedgehog has been a powerhouse for seven years, developing its unique storylines, characters, and narrative elements," Flynn shared with IGN. "Evan Stanley's latest arc brought many of these elements to a head. Reaching a story’s climax is exhilarating, but I'm equally excited to delve into the aftermath. Fans are eager to know 'What happens next?' My arc will answer that question, offer some resolutions of my own, and pave the way for Evan’s next major storyline."

Sonic the Hedgehog #76 is currently available in stores, and fans can look forward to issue #77 hitting shelves on March 19. Preorder your copy at your local comic shop (click here to find your nearest store).
