Why It's Neat:
It's the beginning of the end—"Boot Hill", the final arc of the critically-acclaimed Harvey, Ignatz, and Eisner Award-nominated supernatural western saga.
It's never too late to jump onto a series; The Sixth Gun is perfect for fans of Lord of the Rings, Hellboy, and the works of H.P. Lovecraft.
Artist Bill Crabtree and colorist Brian Hurtt create artistic masterpieces on each and every page, creating entirely new worlds with Cullen Bunn's mythos.
Fans of Firefly and True Grit will love the fierce Becky Montcrief, who literally takes fate in her own hands and pulls the trigger in the explosive end.
What the creators have to say:
Writer Cullen Bunn says,"It might be easy to assume that Becky is a damsel in distress. In fact, we kind of wanted readers to see her in that light at first. But we really always saw Becky as the star of the series. We wanted to show her growth from humble beginnings. In the first arc, she's being rescued by Drake, but later in the series, she's the one who is doing the rescues!"
Artist Brian Hurtt says, "I feel like The Sixth Gun is my best work to date, not because I'm a better artist, but because I have a real love for the material."
