GVN Talking Comics Exclusive Look: Oni Press 'THE SIXTH GUN: BATTLE FOR THE SIX #0'

In July of 2023, we had the privilege of speaking with Cullen Bunn and Brian Hurtt, the creative duo behind Oni Press's The Sixth Gun. During that conversation, as they were promoting 'THE SIXTH GUN DELUXE OMNIBUS LIBRARY' on Kickstarter, these talented creators hinted at their desire to introduce a new story within The Sixth Gun universe. Hints Become Reality Well, that hint has become a reality as coming July 23rd, Oni Press, Cullen Bunn and Brian Hurtt will bring The Sixth Gun: Battle for the Six to fans who have been hoping for more and those new to the Sixth Gun Saga. Coming June 4th, Oni Press is releasing The Sixth Gun: Battle for the Six Issue# 0 'a one-shot prelude featuring three all-new short stories spotlighting key cast members from THE SIXTH GUN in the years between the series' epic conclusion with issue #50 and its forthcoming resurgence in THE SIXTH GUN: BATTLE FOR THE SIX #1!' Exclusive Page Preview Now thanks to Oni Press and the generosity of the creative team of Bunn and Hurtt, we are proud to present this exclusive 5-page preview of The Sixth Gun: Battle for the Six, Issue#0. This is followed by excerpts from the Press Release and comments by the creators. Press Release – Excerpts In 1866, out of the ruins of the failed Confederate uprising, a race to claim six objects of unfathomable occult power began … thrusting the fate of humanity into the hands of an ordinary young woman and a hard-nosed gunslinger who, together, were our last, best hope to forestall Armageddon. At a terrible price, they prevailed. But that was then. This is now. Three decades later, as the gears of a new millennium begin to grind on the cusp of the 20th Century, THE SIXTH GUN is about to be REBORN once more – as it has been countless times across the eons. This time, however, a brigade of familiar fighters lies in wait to meet THE SIXTH GUN's nigh-limitless power head on … alongside a secret cabal that wish to harness its unspeakable power to incept a new century of war, genocide, and suffering. Only one will survive to claim victory. THE BATTLE FOR THE SIX is about to begin! The return to one of the 21st Century's first true creator-owned comics classics beginning on June 4 in THE SIXTH GUN: ROAD TO THE SIX #0, featuring covers by Brian Hurtt (Manor Black), Justin Greenwood (Army of Darkness Forever), and Matt Kindt (Mind MGMT) … and then master storytellers Cullen Bunn and Brian Hurtt reload the chambers of their occult American odyssey for a brand-new generation in THE SIXTH GUN: BATTLE FOR THE SIX #1 – coming to comic shops everywhere July 23! Co-Creator and Artist Brian Hurtt 'Returning to the world of THE SIXTH GUN has felt like a homecoming!' said co-creator and artist Brian Hurtt. 'This series is such a monumental part of my life, and finding a way to spend more time playing in this sandbox that Cullen and I created has been an absolute joy—and I think our shared enthusiasm comes through in this series. I'm so excited to invite readers—new and old—back into this world with us!' Co-Creator and Writer Cullen Bunn 'Sometimes, the world just gets me down, you know. Like…I'm not sure I have the physical or mental fortitude to soldier on. Then…I realize…there's a new SIXTH GUN series on the way! 'With that knowledge, I can face the tempest. I remember, as Drake Sinclair said, the apocalypse can't stop me.' Oni Press Senior Editor Bess Pallares
