Sonic the Hedgehog #79 – Official Synopsis

The long-standing conflict between elite sniper Whisper and deadly assassin Mimic is reaching its explosive conclusion!

Only one will emerge victorious from this brutal confrontation. Can Tangle and Silver intervene before another innocent life is lost in the crossfire? This high-stakes battle has been years in the making—don’t miss the climax!

Flynn Looks Ahead

“IDW’s *Sonic the Hedgehog* has been running strong for seven years, building up a rich tapestry of original storylines, characters, and narrative threads,” says Flynn. “A lot of these elements came together powerfully in Evan Stanley’s latest arc. While wrapping up a major story is always exciting, I’m equally thrilled about exploring what comes next. Fans are going to want to know where things go after this—and my arc aims to answer that, deliver some closure, and set the foundation for Evan’s next big story arc in the series.”

*Sonic the Hedgehog #76* is available now, with issue #77 scheduled for release on [ttpp]March 19[/ttpp]. Be sure to preorder your copy at your local comic shop—[click here to locate your nearest store](#).
