Written by Cullen BunnArt by Brian Hurtt
This is one of those times where, because a series is in the middle of its arc, it's kind of difficult to find anything new to say about it. Lately, the cast of The Sixth Gun have been spread all over the place, and it's taken Cullen Bunn a long time to manoeuvre them back together.
Series frontrunners Drake Sinclair and Becky Moncrief have been trapped in another world, like a pocket dimension, where a malevolent Wendigo spirit has decided to hold them until they die, so that it can, it claims, keep The Six out of the world. Drake has been possessed by this spirit, and now Becky must decide if she can kill him or save him.
Their friend, Gord Cantrell, has gathered up the undead mummy Asher Cobb, and the duplicitous gunfighter Kirby Hale, and they are trying to find the other two. They are being pursued by the Sword of Abraham, who have their own plans for The Six, the guns that Drake and Becky carry.
This is, as always, a very good issue of The Sixth Gun. Bunn's increasingly busy writing schedule at Marvel has done nothing to hurt the quality of this title, and Hurtt continues to knock each and every issue out of the park. My wish is that many of the people who are enjoying his Marvel work will check this comic out, because it is quite remarkable.
