Sonic Universe (2009) from Archie Comics launches an exciting, wide-scope adventure series that expands every corner of the Sonic the Hedgehog mythos. Written by Ian Flynn and brought to life by artists Pat Spaziante and Tracy Yardley, this title was created in direct response to fans who wanted deeper stories, bigger stakes, and a chance to explore the vast world beyond Sonic himself.
Rather than focusing solely on the Blue Blur, Sonic Universe opens the door to countless characters—heroes, rivals, villains, and everyone in between—each with their own arcs that intertwine with the main continuity of the monthly Sonic the Hedgehog comic. The series offers the perfect opportunity to spotlight the rich supporting cast from across the many Sonic video games, including beloved favorites and long-requested newcomers who had never appeared in comic form before.
Every arc dives into a different corner of Sonic’s world, showcasing far-flung locations, hidden threats, and battles that shape the franchise’s larger narrative. Whether exploring the tactics of the Chaotix, the mysteries surrounding Shadow, the adventures of Blaze in the Sol Dimension, or the schemes of Dr. Eggman’s forces, the book constantly broadens the scope of the Sonic universe while remaining firmly rooted in established lore.
