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

Mar 27,2025 Author: Hazel

IDW's Sonic the Hedgehog series has hit a remarkable milestone with its 75th issue, which featured the epic conclusion of the battle between Team Sonic and the notorious villain Clutch. The aftermath of this confrontation is set to be explored in the upcoming storyline titled "Scattered Pieces," spanning 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 near-final chapter of this gripping narrative at IGN Fan Fest. Be sure to check out the slideshow gallery below to see the three stunning covers for Sonic the Hedgehog #79, along with the previously unveiled "Scattered Pieces" covers.

The "Scattered Pieces" storyline is penned by the series' regular writer, Ian Flynn. Sonic the Hedgehog #79 showcases interior art and the main cover by Adam Bryce Thomas, complemented by variant covers crafted 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 insights with IGN, saying, "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 for release on March 19. You can preorder your copy at your local comic shop by clicking here to find your nearest location.
