Save Our Knuckles' Knux Comics section. I just found another place that is now selling Knuckles comics online.
Milehighcomics.com is now offering every Knuckles issue, except Knuckes #1 and Knuckles #13. The link will take you to the page that lists Knuckles #2-#11. There are links to the other Knuckles comics available. If you go straight to the main page, search under "Knuckles: Dark Legion" to get the listing.

How Knuckles Stories are Being ToldKen Penders told me that this is how the Knuckles stories are being distributed because of the cancellation:
SONIC SUPER SPECIAL #14 features a KNUCKLES story that uses elements originally planned for issues #42 through 46, while the back-up story begins with a storyline originally slated for KNUCKLES #36.
KNUCKLES #33 can be seen in SONIC #79 and 80, while #34 shows up in #81 and 82. The covers on SONIC #80 and 81 were supposed to be used on KNUCKLES #33 and 34, without SONIC on them. As for KNUCKLES #35, the complete issue comes disguised as SONIC #84.

Knuckles Comics On-line Availability UpdateI just checked
Mycomicshop.com to see their Knuckles comics selection. It has gone down. The only issues they have left now are Knuckles #10, Knuckles #14 to #21, Knuckles #23, Knuckles #26 to #28, and Knuckles #30. The rest are gone. Each issue costs $2.00 and this provider does accept international orders. You need a credit card, I don't advise paying by check and money order really only works for those who live in the US. If you need any of those issues, I suggest you get them before they're gone. Mycomicshop.com used to have almost every Knuckles back issue.

Sonic Underground off Sci-Fi
I regularly check Sci-Fi's programming to find out when the episodes that Knuckles appears in will come on. As I checked today, I noticed that Sonic Underground isn't scheduled to be on at all in March. Not only that, the last show that Sci-Fi is showing is "The Price of Freedom" on February 17. After that, Sonic Underground will no longer be shown.
Monster Rancher will take over SU's time slot.

Petition to Sega for a Knuckles' Chaotix PC GameStation Square has a petition to get the Knuckles' Chaotix game to be playable on a PC. Go there if you're interested in getting a Knuckles game, but more importantly a CHAOTIX game. I know it would be the same as the 32X game, but I'm one of the many who never got a 32X and/or the game. :( If you're interested in signing, go to that site now.
