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

Author : Carter Mar 22,2025

IDW's long-running Sonic the Hedgehog comic series recently celebrated a major milestone with its 75th issue. Sonic the Hedgehog #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. With issue #76 already available, IGN is exclusively showcasing new artwork from Sonic the Hedgehog #79 at IGN Fan Fest. A slideshow gallery below features the three variant covers for #79, alongside previously revealed "Scattered Pieces" covers.

Sonic the Hedgehog #79, written by series veteran Ian Flynn, boasts interior art and a main cover by Adam Bryce Thomas, with variant covers by Tyler Mcgrath and Nathalie Fourdraine. IDW's official description teases:

The long-running feud between ace sniper Whisper and sinister assassin Mimic reaches a climactic showdown! 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 thrilling battle years in the making!

Flynn shared with IGN, "IDW’s Sonic the Hedgehog has thrived for seven years, developing unique storylines, characters, and narrative elements. Many converged in Evan Stanley's recent arc. Reaching a climax is rewarding, but I'm equally excited about the follow-up. Fans will wonder 'What happens next?' My arc answers that, delivers some conclusions, and sets the stage for Evan's next major arc."

Play *Sonic the Hedgehog* #76 is on sale now, with #77 releasing March 19th. Pre-order your copy at your local comic shop (find your shop here).
