Sonic Universe is an ongoing comic title published by Archie, designed to expand the horizon of the original comics' fictional universe, usually giving the second half of a story belonging to the main issue of that month. It replaced the Sonic X series. It began its run on February 25th, 2009, and is subsequently released monthly by Archie Comics along with its counterpart title Sonic the Hedgehog.

The objective of the series is to expand upon the Archieverse continuity and focus on other characters besides Sonic the Hedgehog, including characters such as Shadow and Knuckles, as well as other universe continuities. The first year of its run broke the stories down into three 4-part story arcs: the first dealing with Shadow, the second Mobius: 30 Years Later, and the third dealing with Knuckles. The second year will deal with some of the Freedom Fighters battling the Bride of the Endless Reach.
