IDW's acclaimed Sonic the Hedgehog comic series celebrated a significant milestone with the release of its 75th issue, culminating in the epic showdown between Team Sonic and the nefarious Clutch. This monumental issue sets the stage for a gripping follow-up arc titled "Scattered Pieces," which unfolds across issues #76 to #80. With Sonic the Hedgehog #76 already available in stores, IGN is thrilled to offer an exclusive sneak peek at the artwork from the penultimate chapter of this intense storyline during IGN Fan Fest. Dive into our slideshow gallery to explore the captivating covers for Sonic the Hedgehog #79, along with the previously unveiled "Scattered Pieces" covers.
Penned by the series' stalwart writer Ian Flynn, Sonic the Hedgehog #79 boasts stunning interior art and a main cover by Adam Bryce Thomas, complemented by variant covers crafted by Tyler Mcgrath and Nathalie Fourdraine. Here's what IDW has to say about the upcoming issue:
*The long-simmering conflict between the elite sharpshooter Whisper and the malevolent assassin Mimic reaches its boiling point in a dramatic confrontation!*
*Only one of these former allies will emerge victorious! Can Tangle and Silver intervene to sway the battle's outcome? Or will Whisper witness another ally fall victim to the crossfire? Brace yourself for a thrilling clash that's been years in the making!*
Reflecting on the series' journey, Ian Flynn shared with IGN, "IDW’s Sonic the Hedgehog has been thriving for seven years, weaving a rich tapestry of storylines, characters, and unique narrative threads. Evan Stanley’s recent arc brought many of these elements to a head. While reaching a story's climax is exhilarating, I'm equally excited to delve into the aftermath. My arc will not only answer the burning question of 'What happens next?' but also tie up some loose ends and lay the groundwork for Evan’s next ambitious storyline."
Sonic the Hedgehog #76 is currently available in stores, and fans can look forward to issue #77 hitting shelves on March 19. Secure your copy by preordering at your nearest comic shop (find your local shop by clicking here).
