The Sixth Gun #1-12 (Ongoing, Update)

To say that Oni Press' is just another Weird Western (a combination of Western and another literary genre, usually, occult, horror or fantasy) is like saying Image Comics' is just another zombie comic book. Writer Cullen Bunn and artist Brian Hurtt have together created a modern book classic that keeps getting better each month. It is unpredictable, with each installment of the series giving us situations that are very familiar yet strikingly different, with enough inventiveness and coolness driven by highly kinetic art from a unique perspective that keeps us waiting for--and expecting--more. The first issue of this series was also a free giveaway for Free Comic Book Day 2010 last May 1, 2010. The regular issue #1 reprints the same interiors as the FCBD issue and was released alongside issue #2 on July 14, 2010. All 13 issues thus far published are included in this update, and all are HQ Minutemen scans.

During the darkest days of the Civil War, wicked cutthroats came into possession of six pistols of otherworldly power. In time, the Sixth Gun-the most dangerous of the weapons-vanished. When the gun surfaces in the hands of an innocent girl, dark forces reawaken. Vile men thought long dead set their sights on retrieving the gun and killing the girl. Only Drake Sinclair, a gunfighter with a shadowy past, stands in their way. The Sixth Gun is a two-fisted adventure set in the mysterious and supernatural corers of the old west. --
