IDW's acclaimed Sonic the Hedgehog comic series recently celebrated a significant milestone with the release of its 75th issue. In Sonic the Hedgehog #75, fans witnessed the epic conclusion of the battle between Team Sonic and the formidable villain, Clutch. This pivotal issue leads directly into a gripping new storyline, "Scattered Pieces," which will unfold across issues #76-80. With issue #76 already available in stores, IGN is thrilled to offer an exclusive sneak peek at new artwork from the near-final chapter of this thrilling arc at IGN Fan Fest. Dive into the slideshow gallery below to preview 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 illustrated by Tyler Mcgrath and Nathalie Fourdraine.
Here's the official description 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 about the series' evolution and the upcoming storyline: "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, slated for release on March 19. Preorder your copy at your local comic shop (click here to find your nearest store).
