IDW's official synopsis for Sonic the Hedgehog #79:
The long-standing rivalry between sharpshooter Whisper and the shadowy assassin Mimic culminates in an explosive showdown!
Only one will emerge victorious! Can Tangle and Silver alter the course of battle? Or will Whisper witness another friend caught in the crossfire? This thrilling clash is the culmination of years of conflict!
Flynn shared with IGN, "IDW's Sonic the Hedgehog has thrived for seven years, developing unique storylines, characters, and narrative elements. Many of these converged in Evan Stanley's recent arc. Reaching a story's climax is always rewarding, but I'm equally excited to explore what follows. Many fans will be asking 'What's next?' My arc provides answers, offers several resolutions, and sets the stage for Evan's next major arc in the series."
Sonic the Hedgehog #76 is currently in stores, with issue #77 slated for release on March 19. Pre-order your copy at your local comic book store (click here to find a nearby store).
