InSonic the Comic#88 by Nigel Kitching and Nigel Dobbyn , Knuckles ascertain himself in a variation of the Old American West , and is shortly arrested and accused of attempted murder . Obviously Knuckles has been framed for this crime , with every intent of proving his artlessness if given the prospect .

Thereby freeing the real criminal of any suspicion , and giving young readers an absurdly dark scene for aSoniccomic adventure .

The comic seem to dodge the most shocking imaging , but still explicitly bear witness Knuckles being snipe by a rabble of the great unwashed with every design of murdering him in frigid blood , and it is n’t subtle . Readers witness a rope being bewilder over a tree arm , and Knuckles bear on top of a box intend to be kicked out from under him once the rope is around his pharynx . While he is economize by the sheriff who returns to town in the nick of clock time , the whole aspect is rightfully bizarre , and out of the blue dark ( particularly for a comical pitch towards kids , to publicise a TV biz that is also meant for kids ) .

While Knuckles has sell with some heavy momentsthroughoutSonic the Hedgehoglore– including the death of his father – this panorama is a stride beyond a quality ’s past tragedy . The visual of a child ’s part being parade by an angry mob to a trigger-happy death is something that would be pretty hard to reconcile with audiences , makingKnuckles ’ darkest instant way too R - rated forSonic the Hedgehogmovies .
