This seems like another one of those things on the Internet I hate, where nothing is constructively criticized and nothing really offensive is torn down, and it's just more people making fun of furries for being furries.

I find a lot of their justifications for a comic's badness petty and baseless. I just don't see why so many people have to make a huge fuss over the use of anime and manga style artwork, and the use of cutesy figures in horrifying/adult contexts is a legitimate narrative/artistic tool--it may not be everyone's cup of tea, it may be common as dirt, but those are not things that make the material that uses them bad.
Also, I actually like Jennifer Diane Reitz's work, and while I admit she's more than a little bugfuck insane, I don't think she warrants the abuse she gets from these people and the internet in general. The Pastel Defender Heliotrope review largely consists of WHY IS IT SO CUTE AND SO NOT FOR KIDS AT THE SAME TIME, GUYS?
It made me want to punch children.
Granted, when something actually bad gets reviewed there, I find myself enjoying what they put together. I used to be a fan of The Wotch, and then I read the review there and realized what the hell I was doing.

I pretty much agree with computationalsphinx's first paragraph.

This site is pretty much bitching for the sake of being a cynic. It's so fucking easy to do, they claim to have "caustic humor" but it's all caustic and no humor.

The learn from webcomics tumblr is full of examples of bad web-comics and i think it is pretty good. It goes into detail about one webcomic page every lesson of which there is 17 so i hope there will be more soon.

I've browsed it before a few times...

Some of their reviews are fair, balanced and respectful, going into detail about what goes wrong in the story and offering input as to what could be done to improve it. This being a decent example.

Others are biased and immature, such as a rant against the entire genre of the story, or complaining that it even has a story. This one is a huge offender.

Granted, I've never read Edge, and only part of Earthsong(The latter being fairly decent IMO), but there's really a HUGE, OBVIOUS gap in quality between the reviews themselves.

Frankly, I think a general webcomic wiki, preferably with multiple reviewers would be more in order.
