Which is good. Anything above a 6 is good. 6 is okay.

Well, at my school, below 60 was an F. 60 was not good. It was considered very bad...like on the edge of failing. 75 was acceptable. 80 was considered "OK". 90 or above was considered good.

Completely different scale from how I've always judged. xD

Don't think we're ever destined to agree, my friend.

That's all well and good in exams but it doesn't make a lot of sense to me when rating media! :)

If 60 is a bad comic, what's even the point of having 0-40%?

Because things like Alien/Predator/Witchblade/Darkness and Predator vs JLA exist.  :laugh:

But seriously, I agree, 7 and above is good by my standards. 9s and 10s are what I reserve for the rare, almost perfect comic. FaS overall is getting an 8 from me, so far.

I'm at a 7 at my current stage but we'll see how it finishes.

They definitely set up a lot that needs to be addressed in Omega. I would hate to see them drop the ball at the very end. On the other hand, if it lives up to expectations, it will be a great cap-off to a good run.

I really quite liked the ending to the Predator arc, even if I had expected a little bit more out of it. Still, Galgo is my favorite of the Fire and Stone characters, and I'd say he's the most developed, or at least the best developed in terms of writing. Elden had some ham-fisted shit shoved into him later on.

I'd go Prometheus > Predator > Aliens > AvP in terms of ranking the four series.

60 would be barely passing...below 60 would be varying degrees of fail.

Good comics would get 90 to 92 (A-)
Very good comics would get 93-96 (A)
Exceptionally good comics would get 97-100 (A+)

For instance, I'd give AvP Prey a 92 and Civilised Beasts an 85

Scores and grades are different. But if you question a review score, go look up the review guide for whatever site you're on. They'll explain what the numbers mean.

Yeah...I'm just explaining my system of scoring. I prefer to score out of 100 rather than out of 10. If I do score out of 10, I'll usually include decimals.

So did they just cliff hang the end? with no mention of some more possible entries in the series?

Vrastal
