Sonic Universe is a spin-off comic book set within Archie Comics' Sonic the Hedgehog continuity, designed to expand the horizon of that fictional universe. Sonic Universe deals with various characters throughout the fictional universe, particularly those that are less prominent in the main series, including Shadow the Hedgehog, Knuckles the Echidna, and many more.
Sonic Universe is published monthly by Archie Comics alongside its parent title Sonic the Hedgehog, and the two frequently tie-in together. The first issue was released to comic book stores on February 25, 2009[1] and fills the role of "second monthly Sonic comic" that was left open by the cancellation of Sonic X.[2]
