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

IDW's acclaimed Sonic the Hedgehog comic series recently celebrated a significant achievement with the release of its 75th issue. In Sonic the Hedgehog #75, readers witnessed the epic showdown between Team Sonic and the nefarious villain Clutch. This monumental issue set the stage for the subsequent storyline, intriguingly titled "Scattered Pieces," which will unfold across issues #76-80. With issue #76 now available in stores, IGN is excited to offer an exclusive preview of the artwork from the near-final chapter of this gripping saga at IGN Fan Fest. Dive into our slideshow gallery to see the stunning covers for Sonic the Hedgehog #79, along with the previously unveiled "Scattered Pieces" covers.

The "Scattered Pieces" storyline is penned by the series' mainstay, Ian Flynn. Sonic the Hedgehog #79 boasts interior illustrations and a main cover by Adam Bryce Thomas, complemented by variant covers crafted by Tyler Mcgrath and Nathalie Fourdraine.

Here's the official synopsis from IDW 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, 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 the eagerly anticipated issue #77 slated for release on March 19. Secure your copy by preordering at your local comic shop (click here to find your nearest store).
