REVIEWS
STEPHEN
THE SIXTH GUN: BATTLE FOR THE SIX #1
Writer: Cullen Bunn
Artist: Brian Hurtt
Publisher: Oni Press
Cover Price: $5.99
Release Date: July 23, 2025
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.
They prevailed, but at a terrible price. 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 can survive to claim victory. THE BATTLE FOR THE SIX starts now!

FANTASTIC FOUR: Aliens, Ghosts, and Alternate Earths
Writer: Ryan North
Artist: Carlos Gomez
Publisher: Marvel Comics
Cover Price: $19.99
Collects Fantastic Four (2022) #23-28.
Ryan North puts character first in his refreshing take on Marvel’s First Family! When a cosmic incident from outer space threatens forty percent of the planet, the Fantastic Four will need teamwork, cleverness and an old vehicle dug out of storage to save the world – plus some super-science! Then, Earth is invaded by subatomic particles from the other side of the universe – and when Mister Fantastic discovers the horrifying truth, he finds out there are some things in the universe even he and his family’s powers can’t stop! And when an excursion to Latveria magically sends the FF to an alien world, survival will be difficult on a planet so unlike our own, with a civilization hundreds of years behind ours – and it doesn’t get any easier when Johnny Storm hooks up with one of its residents! But what is this world’s terrible secret? Plus: Ghosts, demons and the Black Knight!
