Sonic the Hedgehog: IDW Charts a Dramatic New Future for the Series – IGN Fan Fest 2025

IDW's Sonic the Hedgehog series has recently celebrated a significant achievement with the release of its 75th issue. Sonic the Hedgehog #75 marked the epic conclusion of the battle between Team Sonic and the nefarious Clutch, paving the way for a gripping sequel arc titled "Scattered Pieces."

The "Scattered Pieces" storyline will unfold across Sonic the Hedgehog issues #76 through #80. With issue #76 now available in stores, IGN is thrilled to provide an exclusive first look at new art from the penultimate chapter of this compelling narrative at IGN Fan Fest. Dive into the slideshow gallery below to explore the three covers for Sonic the Hedgehog #79, as well as the previously unveiled "Scattered Pieces" covers:

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

Here is 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!*

Ian Flynn shared his excitement about the series 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, and fans can look forward to issue #77, set to hit shelves on March 19. Preorder your copy of the upcoming issue at your local comic shop by clicking [ttpp]here[ttpp] to find a store near you.
