133 sources, and not one of them seems to be at the same time independent, indepth and reliable.

The article starts with 2 facebook posts, and 90% of the sources are similar self-published or closely related sources (like the sources from Geekcon).

Of the reliable sources, most don't mention Garaj Komik[1][2][3][4] or at best give a very passing mention[5].

While I haven't opened all 133 sources, it looks as if the impressive number of sources needs to hide the fact that this comic hasn't yet received the necessary attention in reliable independent sources to get an article here. Fram (talk) 06:48, 14 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - yeah, this is a weird one. Seven citations for the first release date? Citations for random tidbits like synonyms for minicomics? The excessive citing of each issues content is a red flag. For some reason the creator for a story and the story plot are sourced to different places. There are three citations (49, 50, and 51) that Lupis has no cure because it's mentioned in the plot summary. The user's only [contributions] have been on this article or information about it on other articles. The closest claim to notability the article makes is being the 26th most recognized brand of comic in Malaysia. Argento Surfer (talk) 20:36, 16 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
