After the series' cancellation in 2000, Knuckles's stories were continued as a regular feature in issues of "Sonic the Hedgehog" and sometimes even tied in with the Sonic story of an issue until 2003. After this, Knuckles and several of his supporting cast members became a semi-regular feature of Sonic's stories, ultimately crossing over both storylines in a usual manner. Archie Comics made a surprise announcement that they will re-release some of the series first issues in February 2009, along with the new side-series "Sonic Universe".
