The acclaimed Sonic the Hedgehog comic series from IDW Publishing recently celebrated a significant achievement with the release of its 75th issue. This milestone edition featured the climactic showdown between Team Sonic and the nefarious Clutch, setting the stage for the intriguing sequel arc titled "Scattered Pieces."

This thrilling arc, "Scattered Pieces," is penned by the series' mainstay writer, Ian Flynn. Sonic the Hedgehog #79 boasts interior illustrations and the main cover crafted by Adam Bryce Thomas, complemented by variant covers designed by Tyler Mcgrath and Nathalie Fourdraine.
Here's the official synopsis from IDW for Sonic the Hedgehog #79:
*The long-simmering conflict between the skilled sniper Whisper and the malevolent assassin Mimic reaches its boiling point!*
*Only one of these former allies will emerge victorious! Will Tangle and Silver be able to sway the battle in Whisper's favor? Or will Whisper endure the heartbreak of another ally being caught in the crossfire? Brace yourself for an epic confrontation years in the making!*
Ian Flynn shared his excitement with IGN, stating, "IDW’s Sonic the Hedgehog has thrived for seven years, building a rich tapestry of unique storylines, characters, and narrative threads. Evan Stanley’s recent arc brought many of these elements to a head. Reaching a story’s climax is always exhilarating, but I'm equally thrilled to delve into the aftermath. Fans are eager to discover 'What happens next?' My arc will not only answer this question but also bring some resolutions and lay the groundwork for Evan’s forthcoming major storyline."
Sonic the Hedgehog #76 is currently available in stores, and fans can look forward to issue #77, set for release on March 19. Preorder your copy at your local comic shop (click here to find your nearest location).
