The Basis For My Ratings

*Update. I have been putting a halt to my reviews since the last review until up to this point because I was in the midst of reading, and devising a review of - - George Perez's Wonder Woman.

That aforementioned review should appear tommorow. As for today, I will elaborate on my criteria for the various 1 through 10 scale ratings I bestow on a comic:

1/10
Illegible, incomprehensible, and incoherent.

2/10
So awful to the point, that it is comical, but not to the point where it is impossible to interpret.

3/10
A bland incompetent work with virtually no redeeming value. Arguably the worst rating a book can have as it is worse than a four and a five, but isn't bad enough to be nearly as fascinating as a one or humorous as a two, it merely resides in an abyss of disposability.

4/10
Walks the tightrope constantly between good and bad. It may have some truly spectacular elements, but has enough truly awful components that it ends up in this cornucopia of mediocrity.

5/10
An astronomical books that can be seen as very enjoyable could be put in this category. Alas, a five is not exceptional nor memorable enough truly be considered above average.

6/10
Unobjectionably of quality. It does not have the ambition that would result in more creativity or depth that would lead to it having a seven, eight, nine, or a ten however.

7/10
Very good. Few flaws. Overall decent

8/10
Terrific. Never fails to impress the vast majority of the time. It's only vice is that there are a select few books that are a higher tier.

9/10
A work that deserves to be remembered decades later.

10/10
A standard that I have yet to see be met. Even in the most surgically precise books there is always r a facet that I could critique, or at the very least imagine could be better.
