The Sixth Gun - fun supernatural western comic book
[Video Link] Here's a comic book we reviewed in Gweek 003. Last week I ended up at Oni Press's website and found a comic book series called The Sixth Gun. It's a supernatural western that takes place shortly after the Civil War. The idea is that there are six revolvers, each of which has a special power, and once you touch one of these guns you are bound to it for life. (It'll burn the hand of anyone else who tries to use it.) In the first issue we learn that a young woman accidentally gets bound to one of the guns (the most powerful gun) when her father dies. A posse of monstrous creeps, led by an undead Confederate Army general, comes after her to retrieve the pistol. This gang already has the other five cursed weapons, and the general wants the sixth one to complete the set. Cullen Bunn's script for The Sixth Gun is fast moving, without too much dialogue or narration (which has bogged down many an otherwise good comic book series). The art by Brian Hurtt is excellent. You can download the first issue as a PDF for free to see if you like it. I'm on the fourth issue and really digging it. So far there are 14 issues in print, and they've been anthologized so you can pick up all the issues at once. The Sixth Gun Volume 1 | The Sixth Gun Volume 2 (pre-order)...
