I will review this article. This will be my first GA review.

Question: Morgan695 On the article's talk page, I see that this is a new article, less than a month old, and it's already been assessed as C Class. When was this assessment was done and what have you done since then to raise the quality of the article to the point where you believe it merits GA status?

 * I ranked it at a C when I created the article, mostly just as a placeholder. I haven't significantly adjusted the article since then, but I do believe that it nevertheless meets GA criteria in its current state. Morgan695 (talk) 22:06, 5 December 2023 (UTC)

Since this is my first GA review, I have sought the assistance of review mentor Hawkeye7, who has answered my primary concern: namely, the sourcing. Newsarama, 13th Dimension, and AIPT Comics sound more like fanzines than RS sufficient to meet GA criteria. There's also extensive use of primary sources, i.e. material created by Marvel itself. Hawkeye has advised me that there is nothing wrong with primary sources so long as they are used appropriately. In this case, Marvel is used as a source for publication information, and is an authoritative source for this. AIPT, Newsrama, Polygon and Scify are journalistic news site and not fan ones. Finally, since the 13th Dimension article was written by Steve Englehart (author of the comic), it is also acceptable.

Reviewing is ongoing, but things are looking good! Just Another Cringy Username (talk) 02:39, 6 December 2023 (UTC)
