That was done by our esteemed Moderator. The other points, being personal opinion, I believe were valid and well explained. Some will agree, some won't, and that's the reason we all have opinions, after all, isn't it? I will address one point - I didn’t choose the comic that was used in my review.

Sure it has 'spooky locales', 'scary people' and 'bizzare happenings' - but you've just described the contents of countless stories. Harry Potter hardly has a monopoly on them. Antimony does start out a little bit chilly, but as has been said she opens up a bit as the story progresses, and her attitude dosen't seem out of place in somone who has come to a strange place after losing their parents. Oh, and she's smiling in the last panel of the picture in this review, so you kind of contradict yourself there. As for the supernaturalism, well... it IS fantasy after all. Mythology is a big part of the story, aswell as the overarching theme. It sounds like you'ld prefer to read a comic about an ordinary boarding school - which wouldn't neccesarily be a bad comic, but its so far removed from this that it's silly to compare the two. Same goes for the 'drab' backgrounds - the fact that it is entirely unfitted for a school makes us wonder [i]why[/i] a school is decorated that way. Maybe its just me, but given the other mysteries the school has held, it wasnt my first instinct to blame a lazy writer. Oh, and regarding Antimony's reaction to the 'psychopomp': she encountered them when she was a child, and her mother told her there was no reason to be afraid, and given that the beings never gave a reason to believe otherwise her reaction isn't so unusual. Same goes for the shadow - it never hurt her, and she was by then already used to the occult. I'm not sure what other reaction would have made sense.

More that from time to time, when we may get prickly, it's because we're real people with real feelings. That's not the same thing as someone getting all offended and upset/angry, though, by a long shot. For myself, if that line is crossed, I simply stop commenting :) I have no idea, having never seen that particular whatever it is.

I don't think any of us get all upset for real - we give each other the business and from time to time have to remind each other that there are real people here. If we drive people away, then that means it's gotten WAY too serious for being reviews of webcomics. :) Rule number 1 of type is - printed word conveys feeling in a most sucky manner Rule number 2 is - see rule number 1 :) No worries!
