Evaluate the drafted changes
Lead

The lead has been updated language-wise to be clearer and to punctuate certain highlights about Dark Horse Comics (DHC), e.g. how it's the third-largest publisher of comics and supporting artistic and creative rights. It gives a good overview of DHC as a company and includes some mission elements as well as some of its popular titles, and ends very aptly on an of-the-moment note about Embracer Group's acquisition of the publisher just this year.

Content

It looks like some good updates have been made to highlight the efforts of DHC's founder to work more equitably with comic artists, which is helpful and interesting. There have been details added about certain DHC works that were picked up by Disney, which may be of particular note to a reader. There are also really nice additions to the timeline and some rearranging of headings which is effective in creating an organized view for the reader. You've clearly done your research and a lot of your additions are pertinent and enrich the story of DHC really nicely.

Tone and Balance

The tone is informative and neutral—not putting DHC in any sort of overly positive light and merely illuminating the publisher's background, history, and various accomplishments.

Sources and References

There are many, many new citations and the sources are varied and useful—some were for sure behind paywalls, so that information is particularly nice to have. The comics-specific publications and more mainstream periodicals cited are also valuable as they add context and background to the publisher's activity and recent sale.

Organization

I particularly appreciate the updates made to the timeline section! That section is far easier to read and refer to with the bulleted years and pertinent information right next to each year. The writing is clear and the organization is definitely improved.

Images and Media

Some great images added that illustrate some of DHC's more popular hits, which is always great for a reader to see right off the bat! I'm not sure the images are credited properly but they do link to other Wiki pages, so perhaps that is sufficient.

Overall Impressions

I think the resulting improvements turn this previously pretty lackluster article into a really thorough, informative one that any comics nerd could get into! I don't have much to offer as far as what could be improved on here—the updates that have been made are thoughtful and extensive, and all seem to give this article a much-needed boost, both in terms of accuracy and interest. Nicely done! :)
