The Sixth Gun

[A-DONIS]

I'm not much of a western comic reader, but I picked up issues 1 and 2 this past week from my LCS. I finally sat down and read both of them... and I'm addicted to the writing. The art isn't perfect, but I've seen worse out there.

 

Yes, it's another zombie type book, but there's something about it that has that "I need more" effect.

 

If you're bored, pick up issue one, read it and let me know what you think.

I picked up 1 & 2 on the strength of the FCBD issue (which was basically issue 1).

Completely agree with you. Definitely a Zombie "type" book but in what way I'm still not sure.

I'm onboard for the next few though.

There's a new Cullen Bunn/Brian Hurtt comic series and nobody told me?!?!

[A-DONIS]

I just finished reading issues 1-6 of the Sixth Gun. Man what a great ride, is anyone else reading this book?

If you liked Sixth Gun you might enjoy The Damned by Cullen Bunn and Brian Hurtt.

If you get a chance to meet them at a con they are a blast to talk to.

I have that in trade, was a xmas gift last year.

[A-DONIS]

Well I wonder if they'll make it to Mega-Con. I have the first three and maybe would get them all SSed.

So I searched and found this thread.

 

An employee at my LCS was telling me how absolutely insanely amazing this story is, how underrated it is, and how of all the books he reads, this is the only one aside from TWD he reads the day it comes out.

 

So is anyone else aside from who posted here already reading this? I'm gonna pick up the trades to catch up and really looking forward to it.

 

Edit: You can read the first issue for free on Comixology here

John Layman said that this is an amazing book.

 

i dont think they've put out a hardcover trade yet, so i am waiting

[Pirate]

I read it. I have always liked Hurtt's art.

[Dissonance-migration]

I breezed through most of it today. Great comic. I'll certainly be sticking with it until the end.

Just read the first issue and I loved it. For some reason I missed this book when it came out but I'm going to be catching up on the series for sure. Great art and a Great read!

Forgot about this. Well, willing to give it a go again, found the first two issues, ordered... they should be with me when i get back from holiday. *waits for the sun to make its way to the end of the pool*

I was going to post about this title last week. I found a couple small runs on epay for 12 dollars free shipping that I was considering. Some of the covers look fantastic. I think I'll grab them while I can.

[roastedbagel]

While they don't have hardcover trades, they do have trade paperbacks available I found on Amazon for $17 each.

 

The story itself is so different from anything I've ever heard or read in recent times, really looking forward to getting into this. Glad this got some mild interest on the boards too! I figure me rehashing this year old thread would have it buried right back down to the 2nd/3rd/etc page in no time.

I've been reading this book since the first FCBD issue came out in 2010. It's an amazing story with great art. I loved the surprise silent issue that was written recently (without spoiling it too much one of the issues in the 20s).

 

It's been a solid read for me and I can't wait to read it each month. What's not to love about six cursed guns that give it's owners mystic powers.

I hope this book blows up. It was one of my spec picks a couple of years ago.
