IDW's enduring Sonic the Hedgehog comic series recently celebrated a significant milestone with 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 #76 already available, IGN is exclusively premiering new artwork from the penultimate chapter of this arc at IGN Fan Fest. The slideshow gallery below showcases the three covers for Sonic the Hedgehog #79, alongside previously unveiled "Scattered Pieces" covers.
Sonic the Hedgehog #79, featuring interior art and the main cover by Adam Bryce Thomas, and variant covers by Tyler Mcgrath and Nathalie Fourdraine, is penned by series veteran Ian Flynn.
IDW's official synopsis for Sonic the Hedgehog #79:
The long-standing conflict between sharpshooter Whisper and the shadowy assassin Mimic reaches its explosive conclusion!
Only one will emerge victorious! Can Tangle and Silver alter the course of the battle? Or will Whisper witness another friend fall victim to the conflict? This thrilling showdown has been years in the making!
Flynn shared with IGN, "IDW's Sonic the Hedgehog has thrived for seven years, developing unique storylines, characters, and narrative threads. Many of these converged in Evan Stanley's recent arc. Reaching a climax is always rewarding, but I'm equally excited to explore the aftermath. Many fans will be wondering 'What's next?' My arc answers that, 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 #77 slated for release on March 19. Pre-orders are available at your local comic book store (click here to locate your nearest store).
IGN Fan Fest 2025 also provided an early glimpse at IDW's new Godzilla shared universe.
