Sonic's New Future Unveiled at IGN Fan Fest 2025

Mar 27,25(10 months ago)

IDW's acclaimed Sonic the Hedgehog comic series has reached a significant milestone with its 75th issue, culminating in the epic showdown between Team Sonic and the nefarious Clutch. The aftermath of this battle sets the stage for the gripping new story arc titled "Scattered Pieces," which unfolds across issues #76-80. With Sonic the Hedgehog #76 now available in stores, IGN is excited to offer an exclusive sneak peek at new artwork from the penultimate chapter of this thrilling saga. Dive into the slideshow gallery below to explore the three captivating covers for Sonic the Hedgehog #79, alongside the previously unveiled "Scattered Pieces" covers.

"Scattered Pieces" is penned by the series' mainstay, 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 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 issue #77 slated for release on March 19. You can secure your copy of the upcoming issue by preordering at your local comic shop. Click here to locate your nearest shop.
