It's nice this issue gave us some backstory behind trip, i never understood why superstars didn't bother showing why she was with eggman and fang at the beginning
There's another comic called Fang's Big Break that explained it. Do I wish it was in the game? Sure, but sometimes companies like to use other material, like comics, to help promote stuff.
So cool we got more lore for Trip! I love her so much! At first I thought this was more playing off of Knuckles more harsh side. But then I remembered this is the Classic era. Knuckles still isn’t that familiar with interacting with others. Him learning more about how to be more gentle and understanding is an important part of his growth. I think it lines up well with how Knuckles was in the annual with Blaze. He’s gone from a guardian who takes his job very seriously to one that still takes it seriously, but also appreciates relaxation and time with others.
@@ray-boi1351 Yeah, because she was scared of staying with the bad guys once she understood they weren't her friends, but here she can be herself because she trusts Knuckles
@vittosphonecollection57289 ah, I loved how Knuckles reacted when he thought Trip's people were gone like him, only for him and us to find out they were around this whole time.
Ok, after reading this, I seriously hope Trip gets more interactions with Knuckles, they would be great friends. They’re both guardians and have something to protect, she doesn’t pick on him and is amazed by his skill, which is really refreshing to see if you’re a longtime Knuckles fan, she’s inspired by him, he sees potential in her, their personalities clash organically, like this is seriously the start of something wholesome, I hope Trip isn’t another throw away character, I can see her helping Knuckles with his loneliness and Knuckles help her be a true warrior and guardian, I hope this is a future friendship we see more of.
@@KevinW1985 I hope we see her more in the IDW comics, perhaps in the next saga, which I prefer takes place after sonic frontiers. it would be nice to see a modern day style version of Trip, and maybe she'll be less shy then
Knuckles 30th milestone anniversary comic was too good, loved it. 75th milestone double-length race to the finish & Sonic Movie 3 speeding to theaters next month, gotta love it.
Bruh there is smth about the classic sonic and classic knuckles beef thats so funny to me. Sonic just playfully teases knuckles but is still his friend. Knuckles find s sonic annoying but still works with him and still considers him a friend. Its liek he was shadow before shadow cuz they had the same problem
Eh, don't count on it, unless Sega's willing to ease up on Classic only and Modern only characters interacting. It's a wonder that Nite got a Classic appearance.
This was wholesome though it's werid that Knuckles is struggling to train Trip when he trained Amy but whatever. Also what dose the Black onyx do? How strong is it? How did Trip's people find it? Also also I can imagine Sonic and Kunckles aguring how to to care of a younger person,Trip and Tails being similarly named adds to the funnyness.
I think it's mostly because trip have a lot of self-doubt and a bit clumsy compare that to say classic Amy who is well she's a normal girl but she is willing to try anything to be closer to Sonic
Surprisingly, Trip’s armor is powerful enough to repel Knuckles’ punch which is powerful enough to remove the Chaos Emeralds from Super Sonic. My theory is that the armor was made with chaos energy in mind and was passed on through generations to protect the clan from chaos energy wielders.
What are the chances trip will return and potentially be knuckles sidekick on future adventures. Probably low for modern era but we could see her in more games set during the classic era. who knows she could be the 7 persons knuckles trust to guard the Angle Island in his absence.
Yeah, low most likely, Sega likes to stick to a status quo, which sucks cause Trip and Knuckles have so much potential to be guardian best friends and can go on treasure hunt adventures together, but at most she’ll just be brought up from time to time.
Trip and Knuckles' relationship could be like Sonic & Tails or Amy & Cream. A close friendship that also has a mentor/mentee. But both sides can learn from one another.
I can't believe they held onto this for so long just to say "hey, comics are important, look how we showed you what should be in the game" That aside, it's nice, I liked the art, and each classic annual is enjoyable.
I love those Classic Era stories, they're probably my favorite stories in IDW (although I love everything, the main comics in the Modern Era and the Mini-series/Specials), and I think this Knuckles' one probably just became my favorite out of them, I love everything about it, gosh, what a good story!
@@hydrocityshark Oh yea, Scrapnik Island is wonderful as well, the mood (especially the mysterious and dark one from the 1st issue), the aesthetics, the story, an art and colloring that complements said story, the character design from the Scrapniks, especially Mecha Knuckles, Mecha Sonic and E-117 Sigma, the message of the story, it sure is a mini-series that is on top! Nobody can deny that Scrapnik Island is a peak mini-series But... I dunno though, it is a tough choice, something about the feeling that the Classic Era stories gives me is weirdly comfortable and cool, makes me feel right at home, I love the art direction from the classic comics, the levels the characters go to are always so bright and colorful, even the new ones created for the comics, I also love how the stories always feels like an adventure, just that small classic colorful cast that we know and love, Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, Amy, Mighty, Ray, Trip, Honey, Fang, Bean, Bark (and now possibly the classic Chaotix), plus, they remind me a lot of the artworks both from Sonic and the Screensaver/SEGA Harmony magazine and the Sonic Pict artworks made for Sonic Channel, they're just really good stories which I love and always go in to have a fun time
Gramps. Walt, that's Trip's grandpa? But I thought Sega's mandate forbade the inclusion of relatives to Sonic characters... With the exception of Cream.
That's not how ship naming conventions work. Still, while I'm sure it's not gonna be a thing, Trip IS sorta acting like an Amy to Knuckles, at least in a fangirl sense.
@@Frostshock15 The game never confirmed or denied the existence of other Sungazers. It would be weird if there was another descendant of an ancient civilization that went extinct. It’s like if there was a new character that was created in a space station and witness his/her human friend die during a government coverup.
Love this Knuckles 30th milestone anniversary comic, Happy 30th milestone Knuckles, catch Knuckles in Sonic Movie 3 next month Dec 20. 👊🏽🤜🏽🤛🏽✊🏽🥊💥🔴❤️🟥🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
It's nice this issue gave us some backstory behind trip, i never understood why superstars didn't bother showing why she was with eggman and fang at the beginning
I'm pretty sure they released a comic on Twitter for that
There was a comic-
Fang's Big Break?
Their where literally multiple comics that they made for that.
There's another comic called Fang's Big Break that explained it. Do I wish it was in the game? Sure, but sometimes companies like to use other material, like comics, to help promote stuff.

I’m seriously getting major Cosmo vibes from Trip. The way she’s shy but brave, and also knows a lot of things!
I never thought I would ever see Trips energetic side, I love her character!
I don't follow what you mean
Same, I REEEEEEEEEALLY wanna see her in the next C. Sonic game and hear her speak someday!
@vittosphonecollection57289 Now that I think about it, she's was pretty bashful and shy throughout superstars, right?
@@ray-boi1351 Yeah, because she was scared of staying with the bad guys once she understood they weren't her friends, but here she can be herself because she trusts Knuckles
@vittosphonecollection57289 ah, I loved how Knuckles reacted when he thought Trip's people were gone like him, only for him and us to find out they were around this whole time.
Ngl I wasn't expecting Trip's clan to be still alive
Edit: She's like Knuckles but her tribe didn't go extinct
Well I like it as it shows a new difference between knuckles and Trip
Knuckles training Trip is awe inspiring, 1 guardian to another. Love it.
I hope that Trip makes the transition to 3D so that we can see her training with Knuckles pay off.
Ok, after reading this, I seriously hope Trip gets more interactions with Knuckles, they would be great friends.

I hope so too! I'm glad to see that Trip isn't a one and done character and am really happy to see more of her backstory and her excited side too.
@@KevinW1985 I hope we see her more in the IDW comics, perhaps in the next saga, which I prefer takes place after sonic frontiers. it would be nice to see a modern day style version of Trip, and maybe she'll be less shy then
Agreed!!
@@RobertJames-i8j #76 is an aftermath issue to 75.
Not to mention, we get confirmation that Knuckles also helped train Amy to some extent.
Knuckles 30th milestone anniversary comic was too good, loved it. 75th milestone double-length race to the finish & Sonic Movie 3 speeding to theaters next month, gotta love it.
15:38 Okay Knuckles is 2 for 2 on helping fellow gaurdians (Blaze about her gaurdian duty on the sonic annual).
Trip!!! I'm glad that her personality & abilities are drawn out
Trip is definitely the Cream of the Classic Era
Bruh there is smth about the classic sonic and classic knuckles beef thats so funny to me. Sonic just playfully teases knuckles but is still his friend. Knuckles find s sonic annoying but still works with him and still considers him a friend. Its liek he was shadow before shadow cuz they had the same problem
finally, sonic superstars is getting some recognition in the comics.
Can we just take a minute and just see how trip's grandfather look like Pachacamac?
I think that was supposed to be the idea
He does; he really does.
@@CrimsonThePhantom Hopefully he doesn’t have the same power hungry attitude as Pach.
@@hydrocityshark I don't think we'll have to worry about that in the next 30 years of gameplay and comic books
12:50 Guess Knuckles doesn't need to tell Trip that the Master Emerald has the power to neutralize the Chaos Emeralds.
Trip is so adorable now I wanna see Tails , Cream, and Trip have an adventure together Trip is such an cinnamon bun ^^
Eh, don't count on it, unless Sega's willing to ease up on Classic only and Modern only characters interacting. It's a wonder that Nite got a Classic appearance.
@@videogollumerStill a terrible decision by Sega.
@@meno3104 Which one?
@@videogollumer The classic only characters can't be in modern media, i just hate it.
@@meno3104 I'm sure you're not the only one. I think it's arbitrary at best.
🙂👏👏👏✨✨✨ That was great. It's nice to see my boy KTE not getting dunked on in some way for a change. Happy 30th my lone crimson homie.
@@Rotastico He has been “dunked” and overlooked for far too long.
3:33 my exact reaction
Sungazers, Trip’s ancestors like new characters, sort of like Knuckles’ ancestors wow. 🤩🤩🤩🤩
Trip and Knuckles are so similar and yet different
The connections are even down to Trip’s armor. (See my comment)
Trip is a new favorite of mine, she’s to adorable hope Trip becomes a regular character in the main books.
5:18 Aw, poor Trip tripped.
This was wholesome though it's werid that Knuckles is struggling to train Trip when he trained Amy but whatever. Also what dose the Black onyx do? How strong is it? How did Trip's people find it?

Trip is different from Amy you know that right?
@@mober7430 I’m sure we’re all aware.
3:25 I'm so happy there are more like Trip!
fr
This literally confirms that the Classic Characters can talk but SEGA puts Tape on their mouths.
Huh, didn't expected there be more Sungazer around, but it's welcoming
Sungazers, Trip’s ancestors like new characters, sort of like Knuckles’ ancestors wow. Aftermath of Sonic Superstars.🤩🤩🤩🤩
I think Trip could be to Knuckles that Tails is to Sonic
Classic Knuckle & Trip > Movie Knuckles & Wade
@@sonictrainer It seems the game cannon is ahead of the movie cannon this time around.
This comic of Knuckles training Trip is way better than the Knuckles Show. He actually trains someone.
@@RandomGamer368 A lot of things are better than the Knuckles show.
Okay, so there's no villain of the story this time, just a few issues with training and being a guardian. and yet, I liked it
*I've been looking forward to this one*
Surprisingly, Trip’s armor is powerful enough to repel Knuckles’ punch which is powerful enough to remove the Chaos Emeralds from Super Sonic. My theory is that the armor was made with chaos energy in mind and was passed on through generations to protect the clan from chaos energy wielders.
She can also turn into a whole dragon, Trip is scary lol
Maybe it's Chaos enchanted bronze?
@@videogollumer So, Metal enhanced by chaos energy. That would make sense in this context. Does this mean Super Sonic cannot dent it?
@@hydrocityshark I doubt it; that would probably be the only way he COULD dent it.
@@videogollumer I’m cool with that. It’s Frontiers Titan boss fight logic but applied to a character around Sonic’s size.
What are the chances trip will return and potentially be knuckles sidekick on future adventures. Probably low for modern era but we could see her in more games set during the classic era. who knows she could be the 7 persons knuckles trust to guard the Angle Island in his absence.
I’m hoping for a modernized Trip one day. I’m sure Knuckles taught her to fight like a Komodo dragon.
Yeah, low most likely, Sega likes to stick to a status quo, which sucks cause Trip and Knuckles have so much potential to be guardian best friends and can go on treasure hunt adventures together, but at most she’ll just be brought up from time to time.

Trip is so cute!
It’d be cool to hear a dub of this with Knuckles sounding close to his OVA voice.
I can't believe they held onto this for so long just to say "hey, comics are important, look how we showed you what should be in the game"
That aside, it's nice, I liked the art, and each classic annual is enjoyable.
games are games and comics are comics. I get what you are trying to say but both medias have their advantages and disadvantages.
@@harryenchiladas8826 The sad thing is that the comics are an advertisement to Sega and nothing more.
@@justiceiria869 The games have an upper hand here because they are more accessible.
I love those Classic Era stories, they're probably my favorite stories in IDW (although I love everything, the main comics in the Modern Era and the Mini-series/Specials), and I think this Knuckles' one probably just became my favorite out of them, I love everything about it, gosh, what a good story!
The best out of the classic issues. It still has ways to go before we surpass Scrapnik Island imo.
@@hydrocityshark Oh yea, Scrapnik Island is wonderful as well, the mood (especially the mysterious and dark one from the 1st issue), the aesthetics, the story, an art and colloring that complements said story, the character design from the Scrapniks, especially Mecha Knuckles, Mecha Sonic and E-117 Sigma, the message of the story, it sure is a mini-series that is on top!

I personally enjoy the classic era comics much more, they’re just pure fun and feel more well paced.
It's very rare for me to like any classic material post-Gens, it was a fine comic but Season of Chaos was better.
9:35 Tails OVA: AAAAH! I’m afraid of lightning!
17:05 Is this the same way Knuckles got back to Angel Island in issue 66.
They aren't just both guardians; they're both former third members of the Triple Trouble Trio.
@@videogollumer Two people that Fang has a personal gripe with in one package.
17:12 Except when it comes to Sonic and Eggman specifically; but don't worry, Knux, you'll grow out of it.
@@videogollumer And do not get comfortable with scaring Amy and Tails. You will owe and respect them later on.
Glad ur Back Man, Now time to Watch-!
Nice anniversary comic!
4:04 not to worry Trip, Knuckles will get tricked by Eggman again in SA1.
I found the sonic version of yoshi
Ok now this is kinda cute but why do I see classic knuckles being best friends with trip
Gramps. Walt, that's Trip's grandpa? But I thought Sega's mandate forbade the inclusion of relatives to Sonic characters... With the exception of Cream.
Sonic Team must have reference material for them that made it into the comic because remember all of this is canon
Sega is still discovering what they want Trip to be.
@hydrocityshark we already know what she is: A Guardian in training.
@@BlueJack222 yeah, canon, something those assholes on the fandom refuse to stop overlooking.
@@charlottea.cavatica1696 Yeah, but in terms of lore?
Does anyone know where I can buy this comic physically?
Ship name is knipples
That's not how ship naming conventions work. Still, while I'm sure it's not gonna be a thing, Trip IS sorta acting like an Amy to Knuckles, at least in a fangirl sense.
@@chaphidoesstuff I’m still serving on the S.S. Knuxouge.
@@videogollumer Another parallel: Knuckles scared Amy but eventually he learns to fear her.
Put a comic of Sonic multiverse AND Sonic Underground
Baby steps. Let’s have Trip and the Hooligans get modernized first.
I expected the classic chaotix appears in this comic but yeah it doesn't happen
Knuckles chaotix is canon from sonic universe?
Next year is knuckles chaotix 30th anniversary, so we’ll probably see a classic chaotix comic next year
3:22 Hang on. I thought Trip was the last of her people.
When did it say that?
@videogollumer I just thought she was like Knuckles.
@@Frostshock15 So did Knuckles himself.
@@Frostshock15 The game never confirmed or denied the existence of other Sungazers. It would be weird if there was another descendant of an ancient civilization that went extinct.
