but it was, or it wouldn't have gotten the 9 :p |
||
|
||
|
||
And nobody is saying it is the next echelon or whatever! The numeric portion of the review isn't important, it's the contents, the way I pick the number is arbitrary, a 9 can mean an Alan Moore masterpiece which pushes the medium to scary places or a well-crafted Bendis dialogue comic, it can mean anything I like. |

|

|
||
and that has always been my problem with scores... this book is solid and deserves a high score, I don't feel it deserves to be the second highest rated book we have read (third if you include Watchmen) |
||
|
||
|
||
Why not? It's not like we have chosen many better comics is it, we normally choose fair to middling superhero books. |
||
|
||
|
||
|

|
||
|
||
we, not me... :p |
||
|
||
|
||
Whenever you make an... eccentric pick, there are only like 4 reviews! You, me and Amlah. |
||
|
||
|
||
Then why score it at all, the score has only one purpose to be used as a quantitative analysis of the book. It's only purpose is to be used as a comparison to other books reviewed by the same source, in this instance the Review Group. |
||
|
||
|
||
not my fault that you guys have crappy shops and no foresight into what will make an interesting read two months in advance. I don't think I have ever picked a book that we ordered solely for me (and there are a lot of those by the way) |
||
|
||
|
||
My shop orders most indies, being in the UK, tastes run a little further afield than Marvel or DC. |
||
|
||
|
||
that's how others interpret the scores but not me. I care more about what people liked or disliked about a book, not necessarily what the scores were. I never remember what the scores are, just if i liked it or not. |
||
|
||
|
||
I was speaking the greater "you", like you were "we"... but I guess turnabout is fair play :p |
||
|
||
|
||
If everyone feels this way we should just ditch the scores and go to a Skip it, check it, must have type system. Just saying if the scores are ultimately meaningless we should go to something more useful to people looking in the fish bowl. |
||
|
||
|
||
i say we should have both. That way amlah won't commit suicide upon learning his stats are now rendered meaningless and we can take away the ambiguity of the scoring system as the lone rating system. |
||
|
||
|
||
I got a semi. |
