As always, Creator Owned Heroescontains a ton of additional material; this issue includes an interview with top-talent artist Amanda Conner, as well as questions from Palmiotti's twitter followers and an article on writing comics. If the conclusion of the initial stories made you consider dropping this book, you better think again. Read Full Review

This time around we're treated on an incredibly fun James Bondish tale called Killswitch, and a Western called Black Sparrow. Killswitch was great to the point that I hope it gets its own series soon. It's really just James Bond if he moved to the private sector as opposed to killing for MI6. If you like Bond you'll like this. Black Sparrow seem like it could be good but it was too slow of an opening chapter to really catch my attention. Add to this that the cliffhanger leads me to believe that a genre twist is about to happen and you've go something I'm only half interested in as with the switch from western to horror next chapter we'll have to have a re-establishing chapter. Based on the lack of thrills from the first establishing chapter I'm not holding my breath. Read Full Review
Creator Owned Heroes is a blend of everything I love about Image Comics. The anthology offers up so many different genres of stories out there, and they all have a definitive ending. This is one aspect that made me like Killswitch more than I would have if it was an ongoing series: I know there will be an ending soon, and I enjoy a story all wrapped up neatly with a bow. I loved Black Sparrow because of the unique art used primarily as the storytelling, and it opened by eyes to creators and artists I was unfamiliar with. If neither of the two stories in Creator Owned Heroes #5 appealed to you, theres always the possibility that a different one will in a future issue. Its a great start for new or lapsed readers who want something different than cape-and-cowl fare. If you find the most current stories arent for you, at least know that there will be a new one straight from the creators soon. Read Full Review
"I've been digging COH since day one, but I'd like to see something new and different from Palmiotti and Gray. They certainly know their audience and are great at these tales, but this book is all about taking chances. Let's see if they can liven up. Read Full Review
