Style edit

Lead could be a little longer, based on the overall length of the article
Development section written well - fluid and nice
Need a ref for "parody advertisements and fake interviews" sentence - I checked sources so I imagine it's in one of the nearby refs, but for ease, this warrants one at the end.
Not sure the Marvel Swimsuit Special #1 description should be presented as an 'e.g.' Perhaps replace as "One was the Marvel Swimsuit Special #1, which is set..." - or similar.
Coming off this, see coverage comment
Reception section good
Revivals section good
Needs attention one little thing

Coverage edit

Lead gives good coverage
Good coverage of development
May need some more coverage in Content, specifically having descriptions of the other comics as well as Marvel Swimsuit Special #1.
Good coverage of reception; perhaps a bit light on critics (only 4, though the series was prolific) but seems representative enough
Seems to use all available info about revivals
Needs attention one little thing

Illustration edit

Good use of table
Good idea to illustrate gender equality; good selection of appropriate images for it
Pass

Verifiability edit

Sources look good
Slight concern over Comicbook.com, but it seems reliable for what it is being used to source
Pass

Stability edit

History squeaky clean
Pass

Neutrality edit

Looks clear
Pass

Copyright edit

Check looks clean
All images fair use, with solid reasoning for each
Pass

Overall edit

on hold - see notes. Very close, just a few little things. Kingsif (talk) 16:33, 3 November 2019 (UTC)Reply
