![]() ![]() ![]() His occasional appearances turned into regular back story appearances, which lead to a mini series, which finally led to a monthly ongoing…which was weird as all heck, but also very neat. ![]() I must’ve not been the only kid who thought that because Knuckles became pretty popular in the comics. To me, Knuckles was the coolest Sonic character. He could not only could go toe to toe with Sonic himself, but often would, making him Sonic’s “rival,” at a time when that concept was still fresh to my young mind. Knuckles was that cool guest star character who only popped up occasionally, making his appearances feel special. Knuckles was a character that got my attention before I was even exposed to his first game thanks to his cool design, his weird abilities, and most importantly his place in the story. I had been reading Archie’s Sonic comics for a couple of years when the Knuckles the Echidna series got going. Hopefully, I will be able to do a deep dive into the comics in the future. I haven’t read them in some time (due in large part to their lack of easy digital availability) so I will be recounting my memories of the comic’s tone and themes somewhat vaguely and broadly. Given Knuckles’ 25th anniversary, I thought it would be nice to revisit the comics in some way. Knuckles the Echidna, a 32 issue monthly comic series from Archie Comics, did just that. When I was a kid, I had a special appreciation for media that didn’t talk down to me and tried to tell a good story with interesting lore and backstory. ![]()
