					<description><![CDATA[In reply to &lt;a href=&quot;https://monkeysfightingrobots.co/empyre-2-stuck-in-neutral/#comment-39993&quot;&gt;Tom Sector&lt;/a&gt;.

Tom - I want to thank you for taking the time to read the review. Your math is a little off, but I respect your passion. 

The writing of the book got a 3.5 out of 5, which translates to 70% or a C. Which is just passing in school.
The art, colors, and letter received a 4 out of 5, which translates to 80% or a B. This is an average score. 
With a combined score of 3.9 out of 5 that translates to 78%, which is a C+. That&#039;s not a good score for a mega-event book. 

&lt;strong&gt;How we review comic books:&lt;/strong&gt;
5.0 = A near-perfect comic; one of the year&#039;s best. You&#039;ll remember this issue for a long time.

4.0-4.9 = An excellent book that&#039;s well worth your money. Has memorable moments, stunning art, and shows a real understanding of how comics work.

3.0-3.9 = A pretty good, middle-of-the-road comic. Maybe not worth your money unless you&#039;re a big fan of the series/character.

2.0-2.9 = Meh, it’s fine. Below average. Not terrible, but ultimately forgettable.

1.0-1.9 = It’s bad. Maybe it has one or two redeeming qualities, but the bad very much outweighs the good. It&#039;s not worth your time, let alone your money.

0.0-0.9 = A terrible, horrible, no good, very bad comic. Not worth your time, let alone your money. If this is your score, you probably shouldn&#039;t bother reviewing the book.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[A 7.8/10 for a book the reviewer has so many problems with?  You got to get these score lined up with the written review.  A 3.5/4 for writing, yet keeps talking about how it&#039;s not great????  When is an 88% not good?  I guess when it&#039;s a site that always overrated books like this one!!!]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[In reply to &lt;a href=&quot;https://monkeysfightingrobots.co/empyre-2-stuck-in-neutral/#comment-39988&quot;&gt;JV&lt;/a&gt;.

JV - Colin gave the writing a 3.5 and art 4 out of 5 stars, that would come out to a 3.75 stars score. The score or the coloring and letters influenced the score by +.15

No sure what the right answer is but I do appreciate your feedback.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I&#039;m confused by the rating and the review. The overall rating is 3.9 out of 5 which actually looks like a positive review but overall the write-up says that the issue was disappointing. It appears like there&#039;s a mismatch between the written review and the rating. While coloring and lettering are key elements, they don&#039;t hold as much weight as the script and art. I&#039;m not sure how&#039;d the system should be altered but it feels like it needs to be addressed to avoid confusion in the reviews in the future.]]></description>
