IDW's long-running Sonic the Hedgehog comic series recently celebrated its 75th issue, marking a significant milestone. Issue #75 concluded the epic battle between Team Sonic and the villain Clutch, setting the stage for the ominous "Scattered Pieces" storyline.
"Scattered Pieces," spanning issues #76-80, continues the saga. IGN exclusively reveals new art from Sonic the Hedgehog #79, the penultimate chapter, as part of IGN Fan Fest. A slideshow gallery showcases three stunning covers for #79, alongside previously released "Scattered Pieces" covers.
Sonic the Hedgehog #79, written by 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 description teases a climactic showdown:
The long-running feud between ace sniper Whisper and sinister assassin Mimic reaches a thrilling climax! Only one will walk away. Can Tangle and Silver turn the tide of battle, or will Whisper suffer another friend caught in the crossfire? It’s a battle years in the making!
"IDW's Sonic the Hedgehog has thrived for seven years, developing unique storylines, characters, and narrative elements," Flynn explains to IGN. "Many elements converged in Evan Stanley's recent arc. Reaching a climax is always exciting, but I'm equally eager to explore the aftermath. Many fans will ask 'What happens next?' My arc answers that, provides some conclusions, and sets the stage for Evan's next major arc."
*Sonic the Hedgehog* #76 is available now, with #77 releasing March 19th. Pre-order your copy at your local comic shop (find your local shop here).IGN Fan Fest 2025 also offered an early look at IDW's new Godzilla shared universe.
