Review! Creator-Owned Heroes #5 (Image)

COVER: Dave Johnson. 'Killswitch' cover, love it.
STORY: Jimmy Palmiotti, Justin Grey, Steve Niles.  The first part of 'Killswitch'. Not bad, very
                "James Bond". Not much new. Also first part of 'Black Sparrow'. A creepy ,dark, old west story.
                Looking forward to part two.
ART: Jerry Lando, Andrew Ritchie. Lando's art feels way too amateurish. Needs to take some art
           classes.Plus where is the character that we see on the cover? The design is much better than the one
           inside. Maybe a good inker can make those pencils better. Ritchie has a very dark style. it fits the
           story real well but something about the figures feels off to me. Like if his photo references make it
           all a bit stiff.
           * I'm a bit disappointed with the two new stories in this issue. For $3.99 it cant just be good articles,
              it has to be very good comics too. These two feel mediocre at best.
FINAL FILE: Buy, Read, Bag it...but...it did take a dive.

Cover with no logo.
