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

Author : Connor Update:Apr 16,2025

IDW's long-running Sonic the Hedgehog series recently celebrated a significant milestone with the release of its 75th issue. This landmark issue, Sonic the Hedgehog #75, depicted the intense final confrontation between Team Sonic and the formidable villain Clutch. The aftermath of this battle sets the stage for an intriguing new storyline titled "Scattered Pieces," which will unfold across issues #76-80. With issue #76 already available in stores, IGN is excited to offer an exclusive sneak peek at new artwork from the penultimate chapter of this gripping saga during IGN Fan Fest. Be sure to explore the slideshow gallery below to see the three captivating covers for Sonic the Hedgehog #79, alongside the previously unveiled "Scattered Pieces" covers.

The "Scattered Pieces" arc is penned by the series' regular writer, Ian Flynn. Sonic the Hedgehog #79 showcases interior art and the main cover by Adam Bryce Thomas, complemented by variant covers designed by Tyler Mcgrath and Nathalie Fourdraine.

IDW provides the following official description 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!

In a statement to IGN, Flynn shared his enthusiasm for the series' direction: "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, which is scheduled for release on March 19. You can preorder your copy of the new issue at your local comic shop by clicking here to find your nearest store.

As part of IGN Fan Fest 2025, we also provided an early glimpse into IDW's exciting new Godzilla shared universe.
