This looks awesome. I'm not the most familiar with comic-related articles, but my experience with film and television GA reviews will hopefully suffice. I'll have a good look through the article soon and get back here with some thoughts. - adamstom97 (talk) 03:43, 3 July 2018 (UTC)
A couple things to start off with:
- The parentheticals in the infobox should not be bolded.
- You mention Deadman a few times, but it isn't clear to me what the relevance is. A c/e for clarification would probably help here.
- I'll do this once I get time tomorrow. I'm stuck on mobile right now. JOEBRO64 21:59, 6 July 2018 (UTC)
- Struck the mention of Deadman in the lead. I think it's fine in the body: the first mention is simply providing some background information about Jones, while the second shows that the series sort of led to Red Rain. If you still think it needs clarification I'll add a bit more. JOEBRO64 21:17, 7 July 2018 (UTC)

- Some of your web references are not archived. I strongly suggest that this be done to be safe.
Other than those, I was just wondering if you could find any more sales or reception information? I guess this may be hard to come by for comics compared to films and TV, but at the moment I feel like this is probably bare minimum so anything more to flesh this stuff out would be good. Let me know how you go with these points, or if you have any questions for me. - adamstom97 (talk) 23:44, 3 July 2018 (UTC)
- I may be able to locate some critical commentary, but it may take a few days. Argento Surfer (talk) 18:41, 5 July 2018 (UTC)
- Also, the article omits the action figure Mattel released in 2013 [1]. Argento Surfer (talk) 18:46, 5 July 2018 (UTC)
- Any help is appreciated, and that sort of thing is good. The article is pretty good at the moment, I just think it needs to be filled out a bit more where possible before it can be promoted. - adamstom97 (talk) 21:58, 5 July 2018 (UTC)
- I do agree that the article could benefit from some more information about sales and some more reception; the problem is that, since this is an early 1990s comic, most of that is locked away in print sources that I don't have access to. I'll take a good look for more things to add. JOEBRO64 21:17, 7 July 2018 (UTC)
- Try your best. I gave a small c/e to your lead for clarity, but your recent edits have basically covered my concerns there. - adamstom97 (talk) 22:17, 7 July 2018 (UTC)
- Comic Book Creator had an interview with Jones that included some discussion about this series and the response to it. Hero Illustrated had a review of one of the installments as well, but I'm having trouble locating it. I'll email Joe scans when I have them. Argento Surfer (talk) 13:06, 9 July 2018 (UTC)
- Thanks, I'm looking forward to that. I've added in a bit from Eric Van Lustbader's introduction in Red Rain to the reception section. I dug through Google Books for some more commentary but couldn't find any, unfortunately. I did find, however, a source that mentioned that the trilogy served as inspiration for the 2005 Batman vs. Dracula movie. JOEBRO64 20:53, 9 July 2018 (UTC)
- Scans are in your inbox. Argento Surfer (talk) 18:41, 10 July 2018 (UTC)
- Awesome. I'm going to be busy tomorrow so I probably won't be able to implement it then, but I'll try to get to it on Thursday or Friday. JOEBRO64 01:59, 11 July 2018 (UTC)
- The scans have been implemented. JOEBRO64 11:35, 13 July 2018 (UTC)
- At this point, I am going to suggest that you keep working on expanding the article as much as possible, but for now—taking into consideration the requirements for GA and the nature of the topic—I believe that this article's coverage is fine, so I'm going to go ahead and give the review a pass
. Congratulations. - adamstom97 (talk) 00:38, 15 July 2018 (UTC)
