<p><em>Sonic the Hedgehog</em> #92 is the ninety-second issue of [[Sonic the Hedgehog (IDW comic series)|IDW Publishing's Sonic the Hedgehog comic series]]. Written by [[Mark Bouchard]] and illustrated by [[Bracardi Curry]], it is scheduled for release on 9 December 2026. The issue begins a new story focusing on [[Tangle the Lemur]] and [[Whisper the Wolf]] as part of the series' <em>Road to #100</em> initiative.[ref name="IDW92Catalog"]Penguin Random House Comics Retail.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Official solicitation</h2>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>IDW Publishing describes the issue as the start of a new mini-arc in which Tangle and Whisper face both an unfamiliar danger and strain in their friendship. The announcement frames the conflict as being about "an unknown threat and…each other".[ref name="IDW92Catalog" /]</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>After a difficult conversation, the two friends decide to spend some time apart. Their separation coincides with the appearance of a mysterious fog that envelops Spiral Hill while Tangle is inside. Whisper enters the affected area with her Wisps in an attempt to rescue her friend.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>The publisher explains that the apparent rescue mission is complicated by changes in Whisper's surroundings and perception. The town and Tangle no longer seem to match what she remembers. The solicitation does not disclose the cause of the phenomenon or the outcome of the rescue.[ref name="IDW92Catalog" /]</p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><em>This preliminary synopsis is based on the official advance solicitation. The comic is scheduled for release on 9 December 2026; events not disclosed in the solicitation are not included.</em></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Tangle and Whisper agree to spend time apart following a disagreement. Before they can resolve the tension, a mysterious fog spreads across Spiral Hill with Tangle inside it. Whisper and her Wisps venture into the fog to find and rescue her.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>As Whisper investigates, familiar people and places appear altered, raising doubts about what she can trust. The solicitation leaves the origin of the fog and the friends' eventual fate undisclosed.[ref name="IDW92Catalog" /]</p>

<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Continuity</h4>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>The issue follows earlier developments concerning Tangle and Whisper, including their confrontation with [[Mimic]]. In the August 2026 <em>Super Sonic Monthly</em> interview, IDW's Sonic editorial team identified issues #92 and #93 as an opportunity to explore the two characters' next steps with Mimic no longer at the center of their immediate conflict.[ref name="IDW92Reveal"]David Brooke. "Super Sonic Monthly #7: Exclusive preview, new covers, and your fan questions answered". AIPT Comics, in partnership with IDW Publishing and SEGA, 18 August 2026.[/ref]</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>The issue is part of <em>Road to #100</em>, the publisher's initiative leading to the ongoing series' hundredth issue. Its solicitation establishes the beginning of a new Tangle and Whisper story, while the announced continuation in issue #93 confirms that the two issues form a related narrative.[ref name="IDW92Reveal" /]</p>
