Twisted Metal 2 Comic Book

For those who do not know this already you can find the entire issue of TM2 featuring Calypso's origin story on the TM Wikia

http://twistedmetal.wikia.com/wiki/Twisted_Metal_2:_The_Comic

I thought it was pretty cool ... Maybe if there's ever another TM it should also get a tie-in comic, since I doubt DC Comics (or whoever) would ever give TM a limited series, so a tie-in comic (but one that isn't rare) would be nice.
I thought TMB's Journal-styled manual, featuring No Face, was also very creative, so something like that would be as good too. I could even see that re-envisioned as a comic book.
But I'm just thinking out loud, since in over 20 years we only got 1 super rare TM comic lol, so I'm not getting my hopes too high for another.

A TM2 comic book? How come I never knew this existed?

If another one does come along, I'd definitely love to see a tie-in comic or something of that nature. Twisted Metal always did have a heavy comic book influence (half of the entire series' roster takes inspiration from comic book characters) so seeing it get an accompanying comic the way Injustice: Gods Among Us did would be interesting indeed.

Kinda wondering who would write and illustrate it, though.

You never heard of it because only 100 copies were printed back in 1996. It was made to promote TM2 World Tour but I am not even sure how those 100 copies were distributed. It's considered canon as it was meant to be an origin story for Calypso.

Someone had posted the comic on TMA several years ago but then for whatever reason he decided to remove the images from here out of spite.

The comic later resurfaced online on the TM wikia. It wasn't until recently it was recognized by comic book websites. http://comicvine.gamespot.com/twisted-metal-2-1-twisted-metal-2/4000-334104/

Also, the writer for the TM2 comic is no amateur, folks. Jamie Delano was one of Alan Moore's torchbearers who worked on Hellblazer, John Constantine, and Animal Man. Even though DC published TM2 #1, it might as well have been a Vertigo title.

Personally, I'd love to see Scott Snyder work on a Twisted Metal comic. I loved his work on Batman, the way he wrote the Batman rogues, and think he'd do great things with Twisted Metal, in particular SweetTooth (who as you notice, doesn't actually appear in TM2 #1).

Hopefully if there is another Twisted Metal it'll have an accompanying comic series just like Injustice:Gods Among Us, Mortal Kombat X, etc.

This. A comic book series would be great, not only because it's a full blown comic series based on our games, but also because it could expand the lore and the characters. This would give us more longevity. I mean, look at Injustice. Its comic series is STILL going, and we're only just now getting a sequel game to it. If there was a comic, we could see things like Calypso carrying out other work when Twisted Metal isn't being held. Perhaps dealings and such with other corporations, or inviting contestants to the contest. We could see the exploits of the drivers of Outlaw, Carl Roberts and Jamie Roberts. I would also love to see Sweet Tooth doing more on foot, and being this scary, seemingly unstoppable force like he was in Twisted Metal: Black. The possibilities are endless!

This is really awesome, although I'm wondering if this is available anywhere else in a resolution higher than 450 × 700 pixels? It's kinda hard on the eyes and this is coming from someone with good reading sight.
