IDW Publishing's acclaimed Sonic the Hedgehog comic series has recently celebrated a significant milestone with the release of its 75th issue. In Sonic the Hedgehog #75, fans witnessed the epic conclusion of Team Sonic's battle against the nefarious Clutch. This issue sets the stage for the next thrilling arc, aptly named "Scattered Pieces," which will unfold across issues #76-80.

With Sonic the Hedgehog #76 now available in stores, IGN is thrilled to offer an exclusive preview of new artwork from the next-to-last chapter of this gripping storyline at IGN Fan Fest. Don't miss the chance to explore the slideshow gallery below, showcasing three stunning covers for Sonic the Hedgehog #79, along with the previously unveiled "Scattered Pieces" covers.

Penned by the series' mainstay writer, Ian Flynn, Sonic the Hedgehog #79 features captivating interior art and a main cover by Adam Bryce Thomas. Additionally, variant covers by Tyler Mcgrath and Nathalie Fourdraine add to the excitement surrounding this issue.

Here's the official synopsis 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!*

In an exclusive statement to IGN, Ian Flynn shared his enthusiasm for the series' development, 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 currently available in stores, and fans can look forward to issue #77, scheduled for release on March 19. Preorder your copy at your local comic shop (click here to find your local shop).
