One of our favorite comic book series, The Sixth Gun by Cullen Bunn and Brian Hurtt, is coming back in The Sixth Gun: Battle for the Six, an all-new adventure from Oni Press.
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!
Ahead of that, Oni Press will release The Sixth Gun: Road to the Six one-shot that will feature three stories spotlighting key cast members in the years between the ending of the original The Sixth Gun and the upcoming Battle for the Six.
“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: Battle for the Six #1 arrives in July 2025.
