Heya, Rhain1999, I'll take this one. I actually checked a copy out at my local library and read it so I feel SUPER PREPARED to take this on. I'll ping you again when the first pass of the review is done, although if you see a comment that needs addressing before I'm done, by all means go ahead and address it!

1b

• Link Ellie once in the lead and the first time her name appears in the body of the article. Subsequent links aren't needed.
• Likewise, you probably don't need to link anything in the caption of the image of Druckmann.
• You mention in the lead that the issues were collected in an edition published October 2013. This does not come up anywhere else; I'd suggest a separate section beneath Issues with a listing of the collected edition to justify this.

2a

• Do you have an ISBN for Ref 1 (it's a book, right?)

2b, 2c

• Well cited throughout, using a variety of secondary sources (all of which are ARCHIVED, thank you!)

3

• Covers major elements in detail.
• Does not go on tangents.

4

• Gives due weight to criticism. Looks good!

5

• No warring. Very stable.

6

• Good inclusion of images (2 nonfree, properly tagged; 1 free, hosted on Commons with proper attribution and info).

Just a couple more things to do, Rhain1999! Thanks for crafting a neat, informative on this series. It's well on its way to GA. BobAmnertiopsis∴_ChatMe! 03:37, 4 July 2015 (UTC)

Thanks for the review, Bobamnertiopsis! It's always great to get another opinion on things. I've gone through and fixed your concerns to the best of my ability. If you have any remaining issues with the article, please don't hesitate to let me know. Thanks! -- Rhain1999 ^{(talk to me)} 06:36, 4 July 2015 (UTC)

Rhain1999, I've run this article through the copyvio detector and there was one phrase that stuck out to me as being a little longer than I'm comfortable with for copyvio purposes: "the ideal character to focus on in the comic", from the IGN source. If you wouldn't mind rephrasing it in some way, I think this article would be GA-ready! BobAmnertiopsis∴_ChatMe! 23:27, 4 July 2015 (UTC)

Bobamnertiopsis, I've just rephrased it. Let me know if there's still any problems. – Rhain1999 ^{(talk to me)} 23:32, 4 July 2015 (UTC)

I see no further issues with it! Great work! I'm happy to ✓ Pass the article! BobAmnertiopsis∴_ChatMe! 23:45, 4 July 2015 (UTC)
