Knuckles in First Contact

Two weeks ago we had an all powerful Chaos Emerald break into two pieces all because a machine was set to the wrong pronged setting. Last week we had a very short bit where Tails gets a fully working submarine but Sally (who never shows up once in this comic) stopped Tails from having fun. Sonic, then Tails. Hmm. Who are we missing?

Oh yeah. Knuckle head himself.

Video game wise, I love Knuckles. He was always the most fun to use since you can do a lot of exploration with him. At least more so then when you used Sonic I felt. But over the years, Knuckles has become somewhat of a joke. Case in point, this week review of Knuckles: First Contact. So, let’s just get right into it, shall we?

 

Tails in Submersible Rehearsal

Well last week was a 4 part, 23 page story that tied into a video game, I guess. I do wonder how close the comic came to the game, but whatever. This week things get easier with a 5 page story about Tails. This was before Tails got all whiny about everything and when he was a lot more like Sonic. He was adventurous, brave, and kept down by adults. Let’s takes a look at Tails in Submersible Rehearsal.

 

Sonic The Hedgehog: Triple Trouble

I’m not sure about you guys, but I am feeling in a Sonic mood lately. It has been a while since the last time we saw our Sega mascot hero. I mean, the last time we saw him he just got a pair of shoes. Ah, the epic drama of it all. Well this time let’s look at a story where Sonic was a bit more grown up. Let’s look at the special “Sonic the Hedgehog Triple Trouble”

 

Sonic Kids Story 2

Last week we got the story of royal pain Sally, emo Tails, and lots of nothing happening. At the end of that story, it told us to turn the page to see how Tails got his shoes! Tails getting shoes?! That has to be the best story ever written by man or woman! Well I guess we'll have to see as we turn off our brains and eat chili dogs, its time for Sonic Kids Story 2.

Sonic Kids Story 1

Ah Sonic. He can really move. Sonic, he's got an attitude. Sonic, he's the fastest thing alive.

As many of you might know, this year was Sonic the Hedgehog's 20th anniversary. Sega gave us a great game, from what I have seen and read, called Sonic Generations. It has the current form of Sonic teaming up with retro 1991 powers Sonic to save all time or something like that. But with all the talk about Sonic, I got to thinking about how many people know Sonic's origin. No no, I don't mean in the video games. That is a different can of worms that I don't want to open. So I wanted to talk about his origin story in the comics. But it was not in issue 01. Issue 01 of the Sonic Comic Universe was just Sonic fighting Robotnik. No real story was set up yet, at least nothing deep. We really didn't get much in the lines of Sonic's life before Robotnik before this comic came out. Now I am sure that things have changed over the years and I do not follow Sonic comics as closely as I use to, but that will not stop me from looking at a piece I loved from my childhood. So get ready to turn off your brain and grab a chili dog, it's time for Sonic Kids, story 01
