POLICIES/DISCLAIMERS:

Review Policy:

1. Submitting a book for review does not guarantee the book will be reviewed by anyone on staff. We receive a lot of books and as such the reviewers have a right to choose which books to review at their discretion. A submission provides no guarantee or a review.
2. Upon submitting your book for review, please let us know if it needs to be reviewed in a certain time frame. We will do our best to accommodate any requests, but as stated above, we reserve the right to publish reviews at our discretion.
3. We will always provide honest reviews based on the merits of the work being reviewed. All our reviews should be taken as constructive criticism whether the review is good or bad and never intended as an attack on a character, creator, book, or publisher.
4. We believe in fostering a positive environment for our reviewers and comic book fans and as such will not tolerate any comments defaming anyone involved with the site in any way. All reviews are final and as stated above should be taken as constructive criticism of the work itself and nothing else. If you disagree with a review, feel free to contact us via the message box or privately, but we have the right to keep the review posted on the site.
5. We accept ALL genres of comics! Feel free to submit your book and we’ll do our best to match it with someone who specializes in the same genre as your book.

Now if you understand the review policy and want your book looked at for review, please send an email to: reviews@comiccrusaders.com
