Summary: A Tale Worth Telling
Review: Alice Cooper continues to entertain and amaze, even in comic book form.Superb art and story line tie in (by design) with Cooper's "Last Temptation" album, which is now refered to as the first of Alice's three part album series followed most recently by "Brutal Planet" and "DragonTown" albums. I recommend this read for fans of Alice Cooper, comic books and creepy stories of the heart. Not fans of the above? Read "The Last Temptation" and you will be. But please remember, "Nothing's Free!"

Summary: Last Temptation, as viewed by a fan.
Review: As of right now, there are 8 reviews for this item ahead of me. Very mixed reviews. With that being said, let us continue. Having been a Neil Gaiman fan for several years, being weened on The Sandman and Stardust, I had fairly high hopes for this graphic novel. Upon purchase, I sat down and read the dark tale in a matter of about 30 minutes. I was impressed by the fine artwork and twisted story, but overall I felt a little let down. Don't get me wrong, it's a great read, but if you're expecting Sandman caliber work in Last Temptation then you should just press the back button now. The story was rather predictable and, I felt, was rushed into a mere three parts, or "acts," as they're called in this novel. Overall, a fun read and a must have for Gaiman fans, but don't expect too much.

Summary: Best Book Ever !!!!!
Review: I am a huge Alice Cooper fan and this is the best book ever,well for me at least.This is a tale about a boy named steven always afriad and the brunt of all the jokes. Until Alice invites steven in a hidden theater. After the first comic we follow steven as Alice trys to steal stevens soul. I recomand this to any Alice fan or Niel Gamien fan. Thank You for Reading my review and I hope it is helpful.

Summary: A Tale Worth Telling
Review: I am a HUGE fan of Neil Gaiman's work. I have been following his work since the early days of The Sandman. With that said, it is hard to be honest about this work. When it was first released I refused to give it a chance, due to the Alice Cooper tie-in. However, I recently decided not to be so close-minded and read this story for the first time. This story is a lackluster tale, full of allousions to the Alice Cooper album. The story itself is a Tales from the Crypt retelling of the "Faust" story. There is very little that is original or inspired. The effort to work in Cooper's lyrics holds back the plot and dialogue in more than a few places. The ending is horribly cryptic and vague. I would recommend this story only to diehard Gaiman fans.

Summary: One Of Gaiman's Weaker Efforts
Review: I thought the story and the art were both very predictable. Themes familiar from the rest of Gaiman's work made only brief appearances. The art was too clearly a promotion for Alice Cooper. I enjoyed reading it, but it is nowhere near the calibre of _Sandman_.

Summary: Something Well Wicked This Way Comes
Review: In a marketing event guarenteed to drive you nuts the first part of this 3 part series was initially given away free with the last temptaion CD. This however is the collection and tells the background story of the Alice Cooper Last Temptaion CD. The story is loosely based on Something Wicked this Way Comes (a fact acknowleged in the book (check out Stevens school book) The Story is competantly told as you'd expect from Niel Gaiman but the star hear is Zulli who makes Aices dark ringmaster look spectacular whilst keeping the air of shlock menace about him. If you like Alice Cooper or Neil Gaimans work this is a worthy addition to your collection.

Summary: ALICE COOPER; THE SHOWMAN OF THE GRAND GUIGNOL!
Review: Neil Gaiman is one of the most inventive, respected and popular writers of fantastic fiction for many years now. His run on Sandman for DC Comic's Vertigo has put him in the league of other comic book greats like Alan Moore & Frank Miller...Alice Cooper is a rock legend, forgotten by many, but still... in the world of rock n roll. Alice paved the way for just about every popular "shocker" in the last thirty years.. He is the original showman, an Alice Cooper concert is a trip into a nightmare of violent acts and brutal punishments of torture, usually inflicted on Alice himself... But when Alice Cooper had an idea for a new concept album, he summond the talents of Mr. Gaiman to pen a story to bring his album to life... The story is about a young boy named Steven (a character first met in Alice's greatest solo album "Welcome to My Nightmare") who is the [brunt] of everyone's jokes...he's a scardy cat, and on a few days before Halloween, the boys come across a hidden theatre in the city and encounter a strange man in a top hat with creepy face paint (obviously Alice). The man offers one of the boys a ticket to his show...Steven is chosen and he steps through the doors alone into a nightmarish world where all of his fears will attack him and the mysterious showman will try to steal his soul. This book is a must for Alice Cooper fans...

Summary: Gaimen and Cooper together WOW
Review: This book is wonderful, using his child narrator Gaimen weaves a tale of depth. He shows the childhood fears that at least I had of the unknown. He has a wonderful way with words and phrases, I can hardly believe he is so good.
