that was awesome...now it all makes sense when minion tells calypso to rot in hell with his little sister.

It doesn't make sense that minion won tm1...he shouldn't have been in TM1 at all...I really do wish that Jaffe/singletrac had kept the original cut scenes/movies and endings.  it would have made alot more sense then the text endings as far as fitting the story from 1 - 2 together.

I find it interesting how Calypso has been constantly evolving in every TM.

TM1 - he was obsessed about about good of a driver you were and how much skill you had behind the wheel
TM2 - He was only concerned about the contest.
TMB - he was all about revenge and watching people suffer - almost like a jigsaw a bit
TMHO - he had a snobbish - better than everyone else attitude and only cared about his status (money,women,fame ect)

I've had the comic sitting around my house for awhile, probably about ten years. As you probably could already deduce, the comic is actually fourteen years old as it was a tie-in with Twisted 2. Around that time there was a contest to win the comic in a Tips & Tricks magazine, I never entered, but five years later e-mailed an editor at the magazine and he sent it my way. I'm not sure if this was ever actually available for retail.

The guy who I bought mine off didn't even want me to tell ppl about it.
I don't think it was that hush hush but the bottom line is that it seems not many were printed.

I don't actually like the story at all.
I think it goes against the actual game and the one time we get to see some REAL TM action (vs Minion) it's over in a few stills.

But as a collectors item and maybe even 'Grail' status for TM fans its beautiful.

btw BT: would you still be ok to send me your concept art set when your done posting them here?
I'd still really like to see this stuff as it was unchanged (re-sized eyc).

I have more stuff coming soon (hopefully) so i'll be sure to send it along to you again Smiley

I think that Jaffe realized that his original story for Minion in TM1 as well as the story arc for TM1 was kind of lame. So he simply just scrapped it and put in those text endings that vaguely represented his original story and rebooted the story of TM in TM2.

I don't consider TM to have any representative official story. TM1-TM2-TMHO vaguely follow each other but there are a ton of plot holes in each and their relationship to one another is tenuous at best.

TMB is in its own universe and it might be running parallel to the other TM universe but its just so far removed from the other games its pretty much on its own.

In the end I don't think there is a real story to TM like Jaffe said himself he isn't big on continuity of the TM universe.

I would love to see a comic reboot the series talk about Calypso's origins, the early days of TM, a fully fleshed out story for TM1-TM2-TMHO and TMB. Tie it all in keep core concepts from each but make it much more continual within its self.

Here's my take:

I think the writers of that comic seen the story and endings for TM2 before it came out and built the comic around that.

They would have seen Minion's ending and maybe they just ran with it?

Just a thought of course...

I don't think TM was ever meant to be taken as a continuous story.  Each one is almost like a different version of previous installments.
as far as continuity... just look at Whittlebone in TM2 and TMHO

Different artist. Ironically enough Whittlebone's story does have continuity.

In fact I think most fans consider TM1, 2 and HO to be the main story line trilogy. With Black and Small Brawl to be side stories.

Though everyone knows that Black has it's own place in the overall storyline. (hell even SB has a link to TM2).

It's just pretty ambiguous for the most part.

I think this new TM will be the game that just might not have any link at all to past games. I know ST and Dollface look like their Black counterparts but unless the single player has some deep secret linking it back to Black or one of the other games then it can be trully seen as stand-alone in the series.

very awesome. Reminds me slightly of "Metalocolypse" sense of humor.
Nice explanation on Calypsos back story.

Perhaps the TM/2/HO and TMB universes all exist in relation to each other. If they stick with the story that Black was sent by another Calypso to kill his counterpart, then one may be linked to the other as such. I take my hitman info there from TM Lost.
