IDW's long-running Sonic the Hedgehog comic series has hit a significant milestone with the release of its 75th issue. In Sonic the Hedgehog #75, fans witnessed the epic conclusion of the battle between Team Sonic and the nefarious villain Clutch, setting the stage for the gripping follow-up arc titled "Scattered Pieces."

"Scattered Pieces" will unfold across issues #76 to #80. With issue #76 already on shelves, IGN is thrilled to offer an exclusive sneak peek at new artwork from the penultimate chapter of this thrilling storyline during IGN Fan Fest. Dive into the slideshow gallery below to explore the three captivating covers for Sonic the Hedgehog #79, alongside the previously unveiled "Scattered Pieces" covers:

Crafted by the series' regular writer, Ian Flynn, Sonic the Hedgehog #79 features stunning interior art and a main cover by Adam Bryce Thomas, with variant covers designed by Tyler Mcgrath and Nathalie Fourdraine.

Here's IDW's official synopsis 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!*

"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," Flynn shared with IGN. "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, with issue #77 set to release on March 19. Secure your copy of the latest issue by preordering at your local comic shop (find your local shop by clicking here).
