Summary: Beautiful and Ambitious but prepare for a Mixed Bag
Comment: This book is a wonderful endeavor. The artwork is amazing and I love the concept of comic book stories inspired by Tori Amos' songs. I've heard that Tori and the guy who oversaw the project, Rantz, pretty much allowed the artists to have free creative rein. Thus, the stories fall along a spectrum for me.
First of all you cannot help but have a standard for stories based on your fave songs. One in particular disappointed me so much that I regretted buying the book for a moment. It was certainly a mixed bag. Some reactions: Too short; simply incomprehensible; *chuckle*; wonderful storytelling; too shallow; disgusting; trite; mind blowingly amazing; freaky etc. The most wonderful moments were when a story would show me something new in the music. Winter and Snow Cherries are a couple that I really enjoyed.
If there were an option to buy these stories separately I might recommend that. However, like some of Tori's music it may be that I have to live with these stories for a while to appreciate some of them. Another perk is that there have been rumors that Tori is writing songs based on these stories, that are nothing like the original songs the stories were based on. So it'll be fun to have the book for that reason. I recommend it. But prepare for a mixed bag.

Summary: Creative eye candy
Comment: You think you understand an artist's direction, but then they take a new turn. I love the medium, and expression of all of the artists. Thanks Tori

Summary: What I expected
Comment: I'm a Tori fan, not a comic book fan. It was somewhat interesting to see how other people interpret Tori's work. The majority of the comics were cool, but a handful were dredful.
The book came in great shape, no cuts, folds, or dis-colorations.
I don't think I would recommend it unless you are a die-hard fan of Tori.

Summary: Innovative Amos
Comment: In true Tori fashion, Comic Book Tattoo pushes the preverbial envelope. The artists each take on Tori's lyrics and music... the results are funny, disturbing, and thought provoking.
Love it.

Summary: Amazing book!
Comment: I anticipated the arrival of the hardcover copy of Comic Book Tattoo on amazon.com for a couple weeks...once it arrived I immediately ordered it. Once I finally got it, I was amazed! It was greater than I expected...weighing in at a few pounds, beautiful 12" pages, and wonderfully rich stories. All inspired by the magnificent songs by Tori Amos. Of course, most Tori fans would deeply appreciate this book, but fans of comic books would also appreciate it too. I highly recommend the hardcover edition, as it could be a coffee table book!
