Status Updates From Tori Amos: Little Earthquakes

Read Wiktoria Radkiewicz’s piece based on “China”. It is pretty loosely inspired by Amos’ lyrics but a very enjoyable story (though the captions could have been better proofed) and I find Radkiewicz’s art very compelling. Will definitely keep an eye for other work from her.

Read Andrea Bell’s piece based on ”Happy Phantom” and am honestly not entirely sure what to make of it. It’s not a bad comics piece by any means, but the connection to Amos’ lyrics seem tangential more than anything else.

Read ”Winter”, interpreted by the inimitable Bill Sienkiewicz, using Tori Amos beautiful lyrics in full.

Read the piece based on “Precious Things”, written by Catherynne Valente and drawn by Sebastian Piriz.

Read “Silent All These Years” which has Margaret Atwood reinterpreting the narrative of Tori Amos’ lyrics by way of H. C. Andersen’s “The Little Mermaid”, beautifully aided visually by the fantastic art by David Mack.

Read the story based on “Girl”, written by Leah Moore and drawn by Amilcar Pinna. While the art is nice, the lyrics are too firmly adhered to, but simultaneously spread out over music in headphones, captions and speech bubbles in a manner which makes the unified voice of the song broken and musical repetitions just a bit odd.

Read the introduction by editor Rantz A. Hoseley and the first story, based on the song “Crucify”, written by Neil Kleid and drawn by Andy MacDonald. Interesting take on the lyrical content.

I‘ve finished the main album portion and this is… genuinely lazy and pretty damn terrible.
