Key Issue
Synopsis
Based upon the video game of the same name. This comic is very rare having a print run of only 100 copies, and information about it is scarce. It was given out as a prize for a contest held by Sony's Tips & Tricks department around the time of Twisted Metal 2's release. Only 50 contestants won, and the remaining 50 copies were either given to fans who wrote in requesting a copy, or were presumably destroyed.
