Not sure what to say about this one; I guess to sum it up, it tried to be
everything to everybody, but I don't know how well it worked:

1. Action stuff: Knuckles and Sonic fighting - didn't do much for me, but
    maybe the 8-12 year-olds will like it...

2. Fanboy stuff: Mawhinney/Koslowski - need I say more? :^)
    Though Sally only, no Bunnie...

3. Funny stuff: "four to one they're in a fight by page six!",
    "Get my agent on the phone!" I laughed, but I hope we don't see too
    much more Fourth Wall humor in the future - it's distracting...

4. Character development: Sonic and Knuckles have a past???
    Inquiring minds want to know more :^)

5. Sega stuff: the story depends on the discovery of "an unknown [game]
    zone"; I've never quite figured how they fit into Mobian geology, etc.
    so I just tolerate them as something mandated by Sega and shoehorned into
    the story...

Continuity glitch: I thought the lake that generated power rings was near
Knothole, not Robotropolis???

I don't have much to say about the Knuckles solo story - I never really
cared much for him as a character, thus couldn't really get into it.
