Chances are if you happen to had been studying distinguished impartial comics like The Walking Dead and Locke & Key in the 2010s, you had been additionally a fan of The Sixth Gun – the occult western collection that first launched creators Cullen Bunn and Brian Hurtt into long-running comics careers for Marvel, DC, Dark Horse, and lots of others. And Marvel mayb be again in the Cullen Bunn enterprise in August, Oni Press has all the time been in that enterprise and is bringing The Sixth Gun again for 2025 for the e-book’s fifteenth anniversary. And sure, it does really feel like we’re… leaping the gun right here. But that is comics for you.
After an enormous tease earlier this month, Oni goes stay right now with The Sixth Gun Deluxe Omnibus assortment on Kickstarter — a marketing campaign that features “four, masterfully upgraded hardcover volumes collecting the totality” of The Sixth Gun’s 65+ difficulty run plus the aspect collection Shadow Roads for the primary time, in addition to three new prelude points that can lead into 2025’s Sixth Gun Reborn reunion collection from unique creators Bunn and Hurtt.
Touted as “an anniversary milestone” collection tethered to the collection’ unique 2010 debut, every prelude difficulty will embody a brand new Sixth Gun quick story bridging the hole between the collection finale and the brand new Reborn collection slated for 2025. Plus, every difficulty may even characteristic a chapter of “a brand-new The Sixth Gun prose story in the tradition of the great Western dime novels,” additionally written by Cullen Bunn naturally.
Says co-creator and artist Cullen Bunn: “From the moment we wrapped up The Sixth Gun, Brian and I have been discussing how we might return to that world,” mentioned Cullen Bunn. “Shadow Roads was a successor to the original story, yes, but we intentionally distanced those stories from the original material. We were treading very carefully. We had poured our blood, sweat, and tears into this epic Old West fantasy, and we didn’t want to return too haphazardly. We wanted to make sure we had an amazing story to tell. Now, we’ve found that story. And it’s going to be something special. It fuses The Sixth Gun and Shadow Roads into a new supernatural epic. When we discuss this new story, this new direction, I get positively giddy. It’s the same feeling of excitement I experienced when we were cooking up The Sixth Gun in the first place.”
Added co-creator and author Brian Hurtt: “There’s no better feeling than creative collaboration and there is no better collaborator than Cullen Bunn. Together, we built this world of The Sixth Gun —a sandbox full of endless possibilities and endless stories—and we played out our biggest tale there. We thought we’d said our peace. We thought we’d left it all on the field. But this universe we created had different plans for us. Now, we have a new story to tell—one we feel compelled to tell. A story that not only honors what came before but even enriches it. I feel like Dorothy returning to Oz and I can hardly wait to share this journey with readers!”
The Deluxe Omnibus marketing campaign additionally contains a massive assorted of limited-edition hardcovers (with silver, black, and gold foil, respectively), slipcases, editions signed by Bunn and Hurtt, secret covers by Daredevil’s Chris Samnee, and a “bounty” of unique merchandise, like my two favorites: The Sixth Gun hip flask and prayer candle:
