Collects Twisted Romance #1-4.

The Onion's AV Club

"A comic book event should get people excited and invite newcomers to join in the fun. Ideally it tries something new and taps into the unexplored potential of the medium. Twisted Romance is that kind of an event, a weekly anthology series that breaks from the norm to achieve greatness."
