Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Funny, absurtdist, and funny!
Review: Ages 33-83 will enjoy these perverse antics of the younger set (and G-d). Good Stuff!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Comic bliss.
Review: Buy this man's book. Encourage him as much as possible. If you're sick unto death of Family Circus and all of its ilk, this politically incorrect comic is your new best friend. That is all.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Just buy it
Review: Content: Character interaction, characters including GOD, the Devil, assorted degenerates, a cat and a dog. Lots of social commentary to be had here, if thats what you want to see.
Look, the fact of the matter is that Tatsuya is undeniably, inarguably, and absolutely hilarious. Beyond the messages he sends (which are insightful) and beyond his hard hitting style (which makes syndicates wary) the simple appeal of this book is that it will make you laugh until it hurts. I don't care if you spend ten hours a day looking at his online archives. The guy needs support. If you want to keep looking at those archives, or if you simply have money to spend and want to crack up until your tears run dry, then buy it. Because you will never find something that can make you think while making you laugh like this will.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Tongue-in-cheek fusion comic
Review: Hip, modern, "gen-x" raver It-Girl Monique and the main character, a short, wannabe ladies-man called Slick are the centerpiece of this on-line comic, co-hosted by: the nerd-boy, the male chauvinist pig, Christian fundamentalist fanboy, Christian God and Devil, and the Eastern Dragon. The comic is hella funny and only a little bit cynical. You really never know what to expect next, from sessions of "you had to be there" to time with pooch and the cat. Enjoy!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A Must Have Collection
Review: I ordered this edition as soon as it became available, and it is absolutely top-notch, but then you owe it to yourself to get this book. It's a hilarious strip in a very professional edition, and I would've loved to receive it as a gift. Too bad I couldn't wait for that happen and had to go out and get it!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: disappointment
Review: I really like the comics, but as I had already read all his online comics 2 times(from the very beginning up to now) I wasn't going to read the comics again. I bought this book to support him and to read some background for the comic. Boy was I wrong. There is NO text in the book. and it looks like it was made in a few minutes.

If you want to read a great comic for the first time, buy this book, if you have already read it online, don't expect anything from this book.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Way. Too. Funny!
Review: I stumbled onto Sinfest at the Keenspot site while browsing the offerings there, and immediately had to go back and read from the first strip. Sinfest is a guilty pleasure; you know it's naughty, but you can't help it.

I like that Mr. Ishida gives God equal billing, and the characters interact with God (and the Devil) in a way that I think a lot of people do--asking frank questions, trying to understand the way things go in life.

The art style is crisp and the subject matter is wickedly sharp--not to mention very, very funny.

Summary: Tatsuya Ishida is a Comic Genius! (Ok close enough!)
Review: I stumbled onto Sinfest while looking through all the web comics on Keenspot.com. After reading the strip for several hours and laughing till I wet my pants I HAD to go purchase this book and tell my non-web surfing (but comic loving) freinds about Sinfest!

The newsprint comics world has become boring and lifeless since the retirements of Breathed and Watterman. (Dilbert? C'mon, Yaaaaaawn!) Most daily strips are unwilling and gutless to take chances on any touchy subject for fear of getting a backlash from religous and minority groups with papers pulling thier strips off the press. So most comic strips recycle the same jokes and situations over and over and play it safe for the kiddies.

Uncensored DIY web comics like Sinfest have injected new blood, gusto, sex, unique and strange situations as well as good old fashoned satire fun and humor into the comic stip world by bashfully being unashamed about any topic. Tatsuya Ishida has a blast playing around with the concepts of sex, religion and popular culture in his strips. His love (lust?) for drawing really shows in his strips - his characters seem to JUMP out of the frames right at you.

If you're sensitive to any of these concepts, you might be offended while reading this book. But I think you will be too busy laughing your head off to notice! Go buy this book today and be visit the Sinfest website for his newest strips too. Here's hoping for another book!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The best unsyndicated comic strip
Review: I've been an avid reader of his Sinfest since last year and I actually went all the way back to this first original strip in 1999. The man is a genius and almost all of the strips are hilarious. As others might have warned already, you may get offended by some jokes but overall, it's a comic so take it as one! You won't regret buying this book. Check out his website first if you're still don't believe me and all the other reviews. Rarely do you see a product on Amazon w/o any negative reviews, this book is one of them!
