    Multiversity Comics - Walt Richardson Jul 5, 2012

    The second issue of “Creator-Owned Heroes” keeps all the great things about the first issue, while trying its best to remedy the ills of the first issue. If you come looking for exactly what the title promises, you'll find exactly what you seek — and perhaps a little bit more, besides. A hearty thanks to all the creators involved in making this dream reality. Read Full Review

    Unleash The Fanboy - Zac Boone Jul 4, 2012

    Creator Owned Heroeshas some great stories to offer. Some of the other material feels like filler, but overall it's cool to take a backstage look at the industry we all love. While the story/publishing info combination may not appeal to everyone, I recommend you give it a shot. Read Full Review

    Comic Bastards - Dustin Cabeal Jul 4, 2012

    Like I said I only really showed up for the comics this time. I love Paul Pope, but I'd rather read his stories and see his art more than anything else; that being said I didn't really check out the articles in the back. It's nice to know they're there to read later, but I didn't drop everything to check them out. As far as the comics go they were both really good and controlled their pacing and layouts very well. When two issues share a book it can be tricky to give enough space and pages to each story to make them work, but both teams managed to do just that. Read Full Review

    IGN - Benjamin Bailey Jul 5, 2012

    The extras this time around are incredibly diverse. You'll find something worth reading within the pages of Creator-Owned Heroes, even if you don't enjoy all of it. Personally, I couldn't care less about an interview with a personal trainer, but I really enjoyed Palmiotti's tips to running a successful Kickstarter campaign. But, that's the real strength of Creator-Owned Heroes, they cover all the bases. No matter what you looking for, you'll probably find it in an issue of Creator-Owned Heroes. How many other comic books can say that? Read Full Review

    Comic Book Therapy - thorverine Jul 3, 2012

    This issue isn't quite as strong as the previous, but in fairness a first issue should knock your socks off. I commend the team for trying something fresh and new, and they are doing a good job so far. This issue feels a little more like they did things they found interesting, and for the most part it is. There are a few things that don't quite please, but the comics more than make up for any lag in the article department. Creator-Owned Heroes continue to deliver 4/5. Read Full Review
