• Not a review, and I review oldest first so would not get to this any time soon (but would not object to any other editor reviewing this in the interim); if ALT2's "penciled, inked, lettered, and colored by Jim Steranko, making it" somehow manages to survive WP:DYKTRIM, none of "penciled, inked, lettered, and colored" should be linked per WP:SEAOFBLUE.--Launchballer 18:42, 21 April 2024 (UTC)
  • I'm fine with de-linking those instances if that's the case. Morgan695 (talk) 20:47, 22 April 2024 (UTC)
• I'm guessing the first hook is meant to say "dispute between himself and Stan Lee"? PanagiotisZois (talk) 12:31, 23 April 2024 (UTC)
• Will perform the review. Have a mild interest in the article, and just found out Jim Steranko did concept art for Coppola's Dracula; what a nice coincidence. Anyway
  • The article is new enough, having been created only about 8 days ago, which is when this nomination took place. It also has the appropriate length, being very in-depth, and well-sourced; most sources are offline from books, but I'm assuming good faith, especially given the nominator's track record. It is very much presentable, and has three images; one is the writer-artist and is CC, while the other two are the cover of the last issue of this story and an example of Steranko's visual style, which is brought up in the article itself, making them both appropriate.
  •  On hold All of the hooks are present in the article itself and properly cited. Finding the best one is somewhat tricky, as there's what the nominator finds most interesting, what I find most interesting, and what will help the article achieve the most views. Hook #3 is mildly interesting as you have the primacy effect, but I don't think it will hook many people in, so it's the other two. Either one could work, but I'm leaning more with Hook #1, mostly because it also references Stan Lee, which is a name that will attract views. The mention of a "dispute" between them is also kind of juicy. Admittedly, I found the full context behind their "dispute" kind of boring (lol), but at least the hook did its job. Unless @Morgan695: has a different hook to suggest, the only thing remaining is the QPQ. PanagiotisZois (talk) 23:19, 23 April 2024 (UTC)
    • @PanagiotisZois: Thanks for taking on this review. I've already done a QPQ, so if that is the only outstanding concern than this should be good to go. Morgan695 (talk) 04:48, 24 April 2024 (UTC)
      • In that case. Overall: . PanagiotisZois (talk) 11:00, 24 April 2024 (UTC)
