Yeah ok. The 'dragged through the proverbial sludge' is a tongue-in-cheek representation of what all sites that ask for a review are subjected to. By no means do I say I would be giving 'nasty criticism', that's not me, I don't do that. What I do give is an honest review of the overall website from a web consultant's point of view. If I see things wrong, I tell you, if I see things I like, I also tell you. I take the time (sometimes over a period of several days) to peruse the website and the content, and the review reflects not just the technical aspects of the site nor just the view of the comic, but rather how the entire package works together from an outsider's standpoint.
However, requesting a review requires thick skin. By making a request you're saying "hey, I think my content and presentation are pretty nice, but I realize I'm looking at it through rose colored glasses, so I'd like the opinion of an outsider who might see flaws I've missed." You have to be prepared to set your baby on the stage and roll with both the jeers and the cheers.
I remember reading a review here, from a previous reviewer, on
Amanda's comic site. It was obvious from the start that he
hated her site. I mean, he really tore into it. But in response Amanda thanked him for taking the time to review her site and accepted his criticism in stride. That's class, and it's the way you have to be when you ask for a review from
anyone. By the way, I don't agree with that reviewer... I think her site is cute in its own way.
Maybe you're not ready to have your baby poked and prodded just now, and that's fine. I won't poke any further than this little response to:
Honestly my first reaction to his post was: "What do you mean I'm not a webcomic?"
The "About Us" page states
"InterVerse Comics LLC is a new independent comic book publisher that publishes in-house comics online and in print form. We cover a variety of different genres and themes with our properties.

It says you're a book publisher with different artists and properties. That's a service.
