IDW's long-running Sonic the Hedgehog series recently celebrated a significant milestone with the release of its 75th issue.

IDW's official description for Sonic the Hedgehog #79 reads:
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 shares 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, while issue #77 is slated for release on March 19. You can secure your copy of the upcoming issue by preordering at your local comic shop (click here to find your local shop).
