Book Description

January 25, 2011
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars The beginning of a great Weird Western January 31, 2011
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I love Weird Western stories, and I love ongoing comics that tell a single, ongoing story. So the idea of a monthly Weird Western comic was pretty much irresistible. Having said that, it took a few issues for this series to grow on me, but by the end of the first, six-issue story (collected in this volume), The Sixth Gun had become one of my new favorite comics.

Telling the story of six supernatural guns, the book focuses on Rebecca Moncrief, who inherits one of the guns from her father. The gun allows her to see visions of the past and the future, and is an important part of a mysterious plot by General Oleander Hume, the dead-and-resurrected former owner of the gun. Rebecca finds herself allied with Drake Sinclair, one of the general's former subordinates, and together, they work to stop him from uniting the six guns, which would bring about dire consequences.

Writer Cullen Bunn tells a fairly complete story in this book, while setting up some intriguing mysteries for future installments. Artist Brian Hurt's art is clear and straightforward, while still detailed. His characters are clear and distinct, and he makes the supernatural weirdness fit right in with the regular setting. The historical detail feels accurate without having to hit the reader over the head with it. All in all, loads of fun. Can't wait to see where the story goes next. (As I type this, the comic is only up to seven issues, but the second story is already heading off in weird, different directions.)

4.0 out of 5 stars I'm A Convert August 30, 2012
Format:Paperback
As a Western Slope Coloradan and a died in the wool Southwesterner I like my cowboy stories. But I was very hesitant about this item - a graphic novel, lots of fantasy, magic and cursed folderol. It had the potential to be pretty lame, and to subvert those cowboy staples that keep the genre running.

Well guess what? This is a totally interesting enterprise. Damsel in distress, mysterious stranger with a shady past, evil villain, equally evil gunmen henchmen. It's all there. And all the cursed gun, living dead, immortal bad guy stuff has been worked into the story so smoothly that it slipped right in, naturally, with the cowboying. Heck, our hero's visit to the lynching tree was worth the price of admission right there.

And the graphic work hits that sweetspot between clearly drawn and too over-the-top. Sharp and colorful, with a lot of energy, but restrained when it needs to be, and always in service to the story.

So, I'm a convert. I don't pretend to be a master of either graphic novels or westerns, but if you're at all interested in sampling either, this seems like an attractive possible choice.
