Sonic Universe was a comic book series published by Archie Comics starting February 2009, and a spinoff of the comic book Sonic the Hedgehog.
While Sonic the Hedgehog centers around the titular character, Sonic Universe is meant to focus on other characters within the continuity with or without Sonic's involvement.
Both comics had a crossover with Mega Man in the storyline Worlds Collide from April to August 2013. Starting May 2015, all three titles including Sonic Boom crossed over in Worlds Unite.
In contrast with Mega Man, both Sonic Universe and Sonic the Hedgehog followed up on Worlds Collide.
After a seven month hiatus, Sega confirmed with Archie Comics that the Sonic the Hedgehog comics series would not continue anymore, which included Sonic Universe. The final issue was #94.
