About this Collection

This volume collects the 'Knuckles Returns' story arc from Archie's Sonic Universe series, focusing on the echidna hero as he faces new threats and navigates his role as guardian of the Master Emerald. Featuring appearances by familiar characters from the Sonic mythos, the collection continues the spin-off series' tradition of spotlighting secondary characters and expanding the Sonic comic universe.

"Echoes of the Past, Part 1" in Sonic Universe #3 (2012) kicks off a layered exploration of memory and identity, with Paul Kaminski’s writing and Tracy Yardley’s distinctive art bringing the story to life. The issue features character sketches and cover art drafts by Yardley, along with Ben Hunzeker’s color studies, offering a rare behind-the-scenes look at the creative process.
