Review
Overall, this article looks to be in pretty good shape. Just a few things need to be addressed. Some of it's probably nitpicky.


 * Not absolutely required, but it wouldn't hurt to remove all of the extra non used parameters in the infobox


 * the game's development team acted as overall controller maybe add "the" before overall.


 * A graphic novel compilation of all six issues ... The graphic novel included exclusive art by Templesmith ... The graphic novel version was re-released Some slight rewording is needed to avoid repetition. There are three straight sentences starting almost the same way.


 * safeguard the Marker until their ship the Ishimura arrives. Add a comma after ship


 * Between its discovery and the Ishimura 's and the Ishimura


 * after the Marker video leak is it supposed to be leaks? Just ignore if it's already correct


 * Marker into the colony preparatory to sending both it and remove "to" and replace it with a comma after preparatory


 * The Ishimura captain Benjamin Mathius refuses The Ishimura captain, Benjamin Mathius refuses


 * The Necromorphs attack the colony, killing many including Carthusia and Sciarello and converting the suicides. Need an extra comma or two


 * In the reception section, convert all 's to


 * Italicize Wired in the reception section


 * For ref #21, capitalize the author's first name. ben  Ben

Spot checks

 * #5 - CBR - Talks about Johnston joint the project and Templesmith's previous work
 * #7 - Wizard - Talks about the storyline and keeping continuity across multiple projects
 * #19 - 1UP - Talks about the motion comic being unlockable in Dead Space: Extraction
 * #24-29 - ICv2 - All show the sales numbers for their respective issues

Comments
Good job overall on this. I think once you address the minor issues above, then the article should be good to go. -- Zoo (talk) 07:39, 24 March 2023 (UTC)
 * I've taken care of everything above. I just trimmed the second video leak bit since it's not essential to communicating the character's breakdown. --ProtoDrake (talk) 10:05, 24 March 2023 (UTC)
 * @ProtoDrake It's looking good. I came across some minor things when looking over the edits. In the multiple images template you should probably either add the alt text or remove the parameters.
 * Also space out the references. I see the intention is to have them organized, but you can instead use hidden notes to title the groups, or just space them out without titles so you don't have walls of text that make it harder to find specific refs.
 * Like I said above, it's mostly nitpicky stuff since the article is in pretty good shape. -- Zoo (talk) 14:18, 24 March 2023 (UTC)
 * All done. --ProtoDrake (talk) 14:24, 24 March 2023 (UTC)
 * @ProtoDrake With that it looks good to me, so passing. Congrats! -- Zoo (talk) 14:27, 24 March 2023 (UTC)
