Knuckles' Chaotix #1 [n/d]
     "The Chaos Effect" (three parts)
     Story: Mike Kanterovich & Ken Penders; Art: Art Mawhinney
     After a nice one-page splash of Knuckles on the floating
island, we move on to the plot.  All the freedom fighters on
Mobius, it seems, have been invited to attend some sort of
amusement part on the island (which begs two important questions:
How did they get their invites?, and How did they get to the
island?).  The host, Renfield T. Rodent, escorts Sonic and the
Knothole gang into the hall of mirrors which is, of course, a
trap: everyone is sucked into an alternate dimension through the
mirrors except for Knuckles, and his abilities have been
compromised.  Three guesses who's behind it all, and the first
two don't count.
     Part 2 is basically an introduction to the Chaotix -- the
collective name for the 32-X game characters: Charmy Bee, Espio
Chameleon, Vector Crocodile, Mighty Armadillo, and the robots
Heavy and Bomb.  Perhaps the look was dictated by the game, but
Charmy, Espio and Mighty look way too much like Sonic wearing a
costume.  Anyway, armed with a cache of power gems, they prepare
to do battle.
     After starting all the amusement park rides at once to get
Robotnik's attention, the Chaotix find themselves up against
Mecha-Sonic.  Mecha-Sonic attempts to morph into a giant Hyper-
Sonic, but the real Knuckles uses a power gem to even the odds.
In the ensuing clash of the titans, the mirrors in the Hall are
smashed and the freedom fighters released.  Robotnik makes his
escape, leaving Renfield to be arrested by some Muppets (I'm
sorry, but that's what they look like!).  Knuckles and the
Chaotix decline an offer to join the freedom fighters.

     "Tag! You're It"
     Story: Ken Penders; Art: Harvo
     The members of the Chaotix play tag for 5 pages.  That's it.
Except for the appearance of some mysterious insect on the last
page, that's all there is to the plot!  If I were a tree, I'd be
insulted at being chopped down and pulped to yield the paper for
this!
     "The Hunt Is On!"
     Story and Art: Ken Penders:
     Looks like Archimedes is screwing around with Knuckles and
his friends again.  The Chaotix are captured by story's end as
Knuckles is taunted with the chioce of saving his friends or
saving his world.  To be continued.
