AND NOW, FOR YOUR EDIFICATION: THE JBS COMICS GRADING SYSTEM!

A+: The cream of the crop. The tip of the top. The exception rather than the rule.

A/A-: Solid, outstanding, excellent. Well worth your time and money. A- slightly less so.

B+/B/B-: Very good, but not as good as the A book; missing a certain something somewhere in script or art- enjoyable, but not excessively so.

C+/C/C-: Titles that are thoroughly average in every way. Lackluster art and/or poor script, but still somewhat readable.

D+/D/D-: Brainless, heartless, soulless, pointless.

F: No God. NO GOD!
