I think the previous heading "Summary" for the first section was clearer than "Overview". "Overview" sounds like it could refer to a lot of things (for example, it could be an overview of the whole topic and its history). Another option could be "Content", since it's describing the content of the comics.
"Release" is also an awkward heading IMO. It makes more sense for a one-shot work like an album or movie, rather than an ongoing series. Maybe "Publication" would be clearer? "Distribution"? "Publication and distribution"? Colin M ( talk) 16:34, 16 June 2021 (UTC)
Thoughts on using a cover of one of the Kake comics as the lead image, rather than the current one (a drawing of Kake extracted from the Taschen anthology)? My thinking is that it could still illustrate the appearance of the character, while also illustrating a key visual aspect of the comics. Colin M ( talk) 16:38, 16 June 2021 (UTC)
@ Armadillopteryx: Is there any alternate way to present this information? I get that the way you've done it is proper formatting, but to effectively say "Kake (pronouced Kake)" isn't helpful for a layperson reader. Morgan695 ( talk) 18:11, 12 July 2021 (UTC)
(pronounced KAH-keh; Finnish pronunciation: [ˈkɑke]). Maybe that would work? I think, strictly speaking, the first one should really use the English IPA template (which would not look much different from the Finnish), but you could make a case for IAR if you think it's more helpful to readers to use a different format.

@ Morgan695: Not sure if you want to include this in the article, but "Kake" is basically the Finnish equivalent of "Charlie". It's the nickname version of the Finnish cognates of Carl/Charles (Kaarle, Kaarlo, Kalle) and Caleb (Kalevi). I can't find any English sourcing for this, but I could get some in Finnish, such as the first citation in w:fi:Kake (nimi). Armadillo pteryx 03:24, 13 July 2021 (UTC)
"a Finnish nickname with the same general macho overtones that "Butch" has in English".Morgan695 ( talk) 18:26, 13 July 2021 (UTC)
