"Sonic's New Future Unveiled at IGN Fan Fest 2025"

IDW's acclaimed *Sonic the Hedgehog* series celebrated a significant achievement with the release of its 75th issue. The milestone issue, *Sonic the Hedgehog #75*, showcased the epic conclusion of the battle between Team Sonic and the notorious villain Clutch. This intense showdown paves the way for the gripping narrative arc titled "Scattered Pieces," which will span issues #76-80.

With *Sonic the Hedgehog #76* now available in stores, IGN is thrilled to offer an exclusive first look at the artwork from the upcoming penultimate chapter of "Scattered Pieces" at IGN Fan Fest. Dive into the slideshow gallery below to explore the three captivating covers for *Sonic the Hedgehog #79*, alongside the previously unveiled "Scattered Pieces" covers.

The storyline "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 IDW's official synopsis 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 enthusiasm 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 available in stores now, with *Sonic the Hedgehog #77* slated for release on March 19. Preorder your copy at your local comic shop by clicking here to locate your nearest store.
