Here's the official synopsis from IDW 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!
Ian Flynn shared his insights with IGN, stating, "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. 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 fans can mark their calendars for the release of issue #77 on March 19. Preorder your copy of the upcoming issue at your local comic shop by clicking here to find your nearest retailer.
