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

IDW's acclaimed Sonic the Hedgehog comic series has hit a significant milestone with its 75th issue, which detailed the epic showdown between Team Sonic and the nefarious Clutch. Following this intense battle, the storyline continues with "Scattered Pieces," a gripping narrative arc that will span Sonic the Hedgehog issues #76-80. With issue #76 already available in stores, IGN is excited to offer an exclusive preview of the art from the penultimate chapter of this thrilling saga at IGN Fan Fest.

Penned by the series' stalwart writer Ian Flynn, Sonic the Hedgehog #79 showcases the interior art and main cover by Adam Bryce Thomas, complemented by variant covers from Tyler Mcgrath and Nathalie Fourdraine. Here's what IDW has to say about Sonic the Hedgehog #79:

The long-standing rivalry between ace sniper Whisper and the sinister assassin Mimic reaches its boiling point in a climactic showdown!

Only one of these former allies will emerge victorious! Can Tangle and Silver sway the outcome of the battle? Or will Whisper endure the pain of losing another friend in the crossfire? Brace yourself for a thrilling confrontation years in the making!

Ian Flynn shared his insights with IGN, stating, "IDW’s Sonic the Hedgehog has been thriving for seven years, amassing a rich tapestry of storylines, characters, and unique narrative threads. Evan Stanley's recent arc brought many of these elements to a dramatic peak. While reaching a story's climax is always exhilarating, I'm equally excited to delve into the aftermath. Fans are eager to know 'What happens next?' My arc will not only address that question but also bring some of my own narratives to a close, setting the stage for Evan’s upcoming major arc in the series."

Sonic the Hedgehog #76 is now available in stores, and fans can look forward to issue #77, set for release on March 19. You can secure your copy of the latest issue by preordering at your local comic shop (find your nearest store here).
