IDW's acclaimed Sonic the Hedgehog comic series recently celebrated a significant milestone with the release of its 75th issue. The landmark issue, Sonic the Hedgehog #75, showcased the thrilling final confrontation between Team Sonic and the formidable villain Clutch. This epic showdown paves the way for the intriguing follow-up narrative titled "Scattered Pieces," which will unfold 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 "Scattered Pieces" during IGN Fan Fest. Dive into the slideshow gallery below to explore the captivating covers for Sonic the Hedgehog #79, as well as the previously unveiled "Scattered Pieces" covers.
Penned by the series' veteran writer Ian Flynn, Sonic the Hedgehog #79 promises intense action with interior art and the main cover by Adam Bryce Thomas. The issue also features stunning variant covers by Tyler Mcgrath and Nathalie Fourdraine.
Here's the official synopsis for Sonic the Hedgehog #79 from IDW:
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!
Reflecting on the series' journey, Ian Flynn shared with IGN, "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 to release on March 19. Preorder your copy at your local comic shop by clicking here to find the nearest location.
