Now, regarding your disappointment over the in depth and detailed criticism: I’m sorry you feel that way. To be far, I’ve hardly ever claimed to be presenting the reviews as such, even prefacing each review with a banner that says “ridiculously long webcomic reviews.” I’d like to point out that the operative word there is “ridiculously long.” That’s all I promise. NOW, I do realize that my tagline on my header says “webcomic reviews are serious business,” but I’ve always felt that to be taken with irony. Whenever anyone ever says “serious business,” it’s almost ironic.

I’m also sorry you feel that I “harshly criticize every webcomic” and that I bring my biases to the table. I’m going to lay this out there for you, Gonra: every good critic is biased. Every one of them. Because to judge whether you think something is good or not, you have to bring your standards to the table. Let’s say someone introduced me to a comic that was horribly racist, not funny, and had terrible art. Well, if I didn’t have standards, I’d have to ignore every single one of those criticisms and go, “The font selection was nice! A+!” And that would make me a terrible critic. Seriously. Find someone who you think is a good critic and who doesn’t have some sort of bias.

I’ll list you my favorites: Pauline Kael. Roger Ebert. Anthony Bourdain. People who have visceral biases over what is good and what is not. I personally think “objective and impartial as possible” is codeword for “never find criticisms of anything ever, unless it’s for some nitpicky stuff like he should’ve used nicer colors”… but, as you pointed out, am rather close-minded and inflexible.

This is not an objective review or analysis, this is just the opinion of a guy with high standards and a somewhat closed and inflexible mind, and I don’t think anyone should take this very seriously, since, I repeat, it’s just the opinion of one man. He harshly criticises every webcomic, specially if they disagree in some way with his beliefs, maybe he does this on purpose and he’s trying to be a very harsh and difficult critic, if that’s the case, he’s doing his job exceptionally and I apologize for my previous commentaries. If he’s trying to be a fair and objective judge who tries to show us every aspect of a comic and give us a pretty accurate critic and ranking for it, then he should change his methods.

Maybe I’m exaggerating a little, and I wouldnt want anyone to get mad and/or upset at me for saying this, but this is the conclusion I’ve come to, then again, I’m also just one person with my own beliefs and opinions, but I always try my best to be as objective and impartial as possible, instead of releasing my hatred and discontent with the world and the people through the criticism of webcomics.

But I insist, this is my humble opinion, based on the facts I’ve seen.

An ex-friend of mine once told me to read this comic because it was “awesome”. Because I’m a mental masosadist and also because I like to be “fair”, I (usually) completely read a new comic from beginning to the most recent before I form my own (usually not very well-structured) opinion. I read each and every piece of this sadly well-drawn garbage. I’m not friends with that guy anymore.
