Woah. Such a cool book! Great thought-out world, very fun story, interesting characters, beautiful artwork. Kind of reminds me of Red Dead Redemption, one of my favourite modern-ish games, and its zombie DLC. Not a bad thing at all! Really interested to see where this is all going.
"Each of the guns is more powerful than a ordinary pistol, and they never need to be reloaded. Legend says the guns are loaded with hatred, not bullets"Intesting plot, good characters. It's Worth a shot ( shot.... see what i did there? No? not funny? ok )
Story: 5 stars!Art: 5 stars!That was awesome! So much fun! I loved the story, art, characters, mythology, all of it. I loved how the climactic action scenes were done as well. I haven't enjoyed a graphic novel this much in a while. It doesn't give away too much at first but by halfway through I was hooked. I highly recommend this to anyone who likes horror, fantasy, or westerns.
Supernatural Westerns is one of my favorite genres and this is one of the best. The book put Cullen Bunn on the map and you can see why. Mrs. Hume has the Pinkertons searching for a special gun, the sixth gun, a gun that used to belong to her dead husband General Hume. At the same time, Gen Hume's horsemen are searching for his body because Gen. Hum is too mean and ornery to stay dead. It turns out there are 6 guns each with a different power.Bunn weaves a compelling story, one that I couldn't
Not for me. Juvenile, simplistic, uninteresting.
It's not easy to sell me on genre books, even when they combustibly mix genres with verve, spice, and zest. I'm perfectly happy to not investigate superhero books, westerns, or efforts that seek to out-Tolkien Tolkien. Vampires, werewolves, zombies, pirates, ninjas? None of these really do it for me. And even though I was once a savage, avid reader of noirish detective-fiction, I've passed on countless opportunities to engage some of the newer works in the genre. [It Might.]So when I saw that th...
Great concept. Awful execution.The idea is terrific, an Old West tale about six magical pistols, each with a unique power. Three are just deadly: they strike like a cannon shell, spread the very flames of Perdition, and kill by spreading a flesh-rotting disease. The fourth can call up the spirits of those it has shot down. The fifth grants it's bearer immortality (I was surprised that this wasn't THE gun, the focus of the series). The final gun, the eponymous Sixth Gun, gives visions, knowledge
The Sixth Gun combines the western genre with fantasy and horror elements, and with a few too many Lord of the Rings overtones. What the story lacks in originality and subtlety (if that’s what you’re looking for, you may want to go with Bunn’s more recent Harrow County instead), it tries to make up for with bullets and old-school action – and it succeeds up to a point, I guess. These days, though, it isn’t easy for fiction to compete with the apocalyptic, surreal, darkly humorous crime-spy-horro...
This first volume of the series serves mostly as an introduction, as there is an awful lot to set up in this storyline. It mostly revolves around the Six Guns of the title, mysterious and powerful weapons that a large number of people would like to get their hands on, not least of which is one of the Sixth Gun's previous owners, who has come back from the dead to reclaim it. A lot of characters are introduced, and quite a few of them have died by the end of this story, which is a pity because do...
Grand introduction to a new series. Fantastic story-line, nice action and suiting artwork. A western Fantasy, what could a reader want more. I love both the genres so enjoyed it quite a lot. This is a story about six magical guns with special properties. Slowly the whole plot shall be reveled. For now, it has just begun. I don't like the heroine much, but hopefully she will grow with time. Lets see.
Ever since Garth Ennis wrote "The Saint of Killers" 4 part story, I have wondered when the next western-horror story was going to come along and why it hadn't taken off as some other trends have (steampunk, vampires, zombies, etc.) One of the original horror-westerns, Jonah Hex, hasn't lived up to my expectations in its most recent incarnation, although American Vampire has become an absolute favorite. So I guess I may be rating this slightly higher than it deserves because I love the genre hybr...
An intriguing new world with a story that's always moving.However, not intriguing enough to get me to continue with the series, a year later.
Post-Civil War America, the Old West. Missy Hume, a menacing woman with mysterious motives, hires Pinkerton agents to track down a valuable gun which belonged to her late husband General Oliander Hume, currently in the possession of a preacher. But the gun falls into the hands of the preacher's daughter, Becky Montcrief, who discovers the gun has supernatural powers and imprints itself to the first person who wields it after its previous owner passes - in other words, only she can use this stran...
I need to stop reading comics late at night, especially volumes. Because, strangely enough if it is any good then I can’t stop reading until it’s finished. Lucky for me this first volume of The Sixth Gun was only 159 pages long so it didn’t take that long time to finish it. (Luckily I only had the first volume on the ipad so I couldn’t start with volume 2...The Sixth Gun is story about a very special gun that makes the carrier see into the future. Also the person that picks up the gun is stuck w...
(4,3 of 5 for very packed western with a spoonful of the occult)First thing - I do like the art, but I'm not much a fan of it. I would be considering the genre and tone of the story, expecting something darker. This art resembles a more humouristic adventure. But I can live with that, but this would be even better with grittier art, I clearly see that.The story - I love the premise and I'm fascinated by how packed is the first volume. It feels like a proper epic arc, worth at least three volumes...
Cullen Bunn has developed quite a talent for mixing horror with either rural US or US western themed stories. He does not disappoint with the 6th Gun.Becky's father is killed by a group of men looking for a mysterious gun. Somehow the gun "bonds" itself to Becky and this starts the interesting horror adventure of the 6th Gun. There is an undead Confederate general named Oliander Hume and if he can collect the six guns he will be free from his chains. On his side he has an undead horde and a grou...
Apparently, I read this before and only gave it 3 stars. That was back in 2013. At least that's what Goodreads is telling me. I have no recollections of reading it...I was probably stoned. Now 6 years later I read this and by the end of the second issue in the volume I know I am going to give this 5 stars.I don't know what changed for me or why I didn't enjoy it back then, but I had a helluva fun time reading it this go around.And I'll tell ya what...I was definitely stoned this time. Soooo... :...
Well hells bells! Look what I found! A horror-western graphic novel with strong characters, history, suspense, and bite. The Sixth Gun is one kickass rooting-tooting ride with enough grit and gore to make this girl giggle and swoon! :D”There are many augurs in the world…and secrets to uncover…If you know where to look. But looking in the right place and having guts enough to keep your eyes open don’t always go hand in hand.”Our story begins with a gun. A blasted six-shooter with a dark, dangerou...
A western-flavored horror comic? Yes, I can do this. The sixth gun of the title is the last of six mystical weapons that can only be used by the current owner- always the first person to pick up the weapon after the previous owner has died. After her stepfather's death, Becky has found herself the new owner of the sixth gun. And the owners of the other five guns, plus the dead man who brought them into being and his widow, want to claim it from her. Great setting, great concept, great story. The...
This is a great mix of western and horror. The moves along at a nice pace and the art style does a good job of conveying the action scenes without getting bogged down in a lot of detail. I'm really interested in picking up the other volumes to see where this story is going.
