IDW's enduring Sonic the Hedgehog comic series recently celebrated a significant milestone with the release of its 75th issue. Sonic the Hedgehog #75 depicted the final confrontation between Team Sonic and the antagonist Clutch, setting the stage for the suspenseful follow-up arc, "Scattered Pieces."
"Scattered Pieces" unfolds across issues #76-80. With issue #76 now available, IGN proudly presents an exclusive preview of artwork from the penultimate chapter of this storyline at IGN Fan Fest. Explore the slideshow gallery below to view the three covers for Sonic the Hedgehog #79, alongside previously unveiled "Scattered Pieces" covers.
Sonic the Hedgehog #79, written by series veteran Ian Flynn, features interior art and the main cover by Adam Bryce Thomas, with variant covers by Tyler Mcgrath and Nathalie Fourdraine.
IDW's official synopsis for Sonic the Hedgehog #79:
The long-standing rivalry between elite markswoman Whisper and shadowy assassin Mimic culminates in a dramatic showdown!
Only one of these former allies will emerge victorious! Can Tangle and Silver alter the course of the battle? Or will Whisper witness another friend caught in the crossfire? This thrilling conflict is the culmination of years of tension!
"IDW's Sonic the Hedgehog has thrived for seven years, developing unique storylines, characters, and narrative threads," Flynn shared with IGN. "Many of these elements converged in Evan Stanley's recent arc. Reaching a story's climax is always rewarding, but I'm equally excited to explore what follows. Many fans will be wondering 'What happens next?' My arc provides answers, offers some resolutions of my own, and sets the stage for Evan's next major arc in the series."
Sonic the Hedgehog #76 is currently on sale, with issue #77 launching March 19th. Pre-orders are available at your local comic book store (locate your nearest store here).
IGN Fan Fest 2025 also offered an early glimpse into IDW's new Godzilla shared universe.
