Donald Dale Milne Darci -
Just a couple of things. The Brand on the cover appears to read "Marvel Monster Group."

Also, for the several ads for various Marvel comic books you have, the Type should be "Promo" instead of "Advertisement", as this Type is specifically intended for ads by the publisher.

Thanks - Don 		2011-01-06 02:49:11 Under Review Editing
Darci Don,
OK, I added the Brand for the issue and changed Sequences 5, 8, 13, and 16 to promos.
Thanks! 		2011-01-06 18:40:52 Editing Under Review
