Cullen Bunn (Deadpool Kills the Marvel Universe) and Brian Hurtt (The Midnite Show) are returning to the world of The Sixth Gun by Oni Press in a brand-new one-shot, The Sixth Gun: Road to the Six #0, that kicks off the return of the fantasy western series.
Initially running for 50 issues beginning in 2010, The Sixth Gun followed Drake Sinclair and Becky Moncrief as they learned the secrets of the Six Guns, pistols that granted their wielders powers. The series earned Bunn and Crabtree Eisner Award nominations and became one of Oni Press‘ most long-running series, ending in 2016. Now, the world of The Sixth Gun is back in a new one-shot. The Beat has a first-look below.
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 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 Sixth Gun: Road to the Six #0 features main cover art by Hurtt (also available as a 1:20 black and white variant), while Justin Greenwood, and Matt Kindt (1:10) provide variants.
“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!”
“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!” said co-creator and writer Cullen Bunn. “With that knowledge, I can face the tempest. I remember, as Drake Sinclair said, the apocalypse can’t stop me.”
The Sixth Gun: Road to the Six #0 releases on June 4th, 2025. Meanwhile, The Sixth Gun: Battle For The Six #1 arrives at comic book shops on July 24th, 2025.
