PORTLAND, OR (June 27th, 2024) – AFTER 15 YEARS AND A MILLION BULLETS . . . THE SIXTH GUN IS REBORN IN ALL-NEW, MUST-READ COMICS EVENT! Oni Press, the multiple Eisner and Harvey Award-winning publisher of groundbreaking comics and graphic novels since 1997, is ready to bring you back to the Eisner Award-nominated world of THE SIXTH GUN on July 23rd, as acclaimed co-creators Cullen Bunn (Harrow County) and Brian Hurtt (The Midnite Show) usher in THE SIXTH GUN: BATTLE FOR THE SIX #1 – the long-awaited first issue of the extra-sized, prestige-format comic event celebrating 15 years of the milestone series that brought the Old West to the brink of apocalypse … and introducing a brand-new generation of gunfighters ready to beat back the world-ending darkness that threatens to consume us all!

“It's good to be back in the saddle with THE SIXTH GUN again,” said Cullen Bunn. “Revisiting this epic has been some of the most fun I've had writing in a long time! I love seeing Brian and Bill bringing the story to life! It's pure joy for me, and I think it will be the same for readers!”

“You can call what Cullen and I do a collaboration, but at the heart of it is two boys dumping out their toy chest and just losing themselves in stories and play,” said Cullen Bunn. “THE SIXTH GUN has always embodied that spirit and I feel like readers pick up on that and feel like they are also a part of the play! Revisiting these characters and this world has been both a creative recharge and a wild ride, and I can’t wait for readers to ride alongside us once again!”

Out of the ruins of the failed Confederate uprising, a race to claim six legendary 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. Years later, as the gears of a new millennium begin to grind, 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 the secret, nefarious Cabal that wishes 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!

In celebration of 15 years of one of the most beloved smash-hits in the history of creator-owned comics, return to the Eisner Award–nominated world of THE SIXTH GUN as co-creators Cullen Bunn (Harrow County) and Brian Hurtt (The Midnite Show) reunite for an all-new, self-contained entry point into the acclaimed saga that fantasy icon Michael Moorcock calls “an epic in its own right”—as told across three extra-sized, ad-free issues in a deluxe prestige format.

Featuring a loaded barrel of covers from the grit-and-gunpowder-fueled fists of artists Brian Hurtt, Valeria Burzo (EC’s Epitaphs from the Abyss), and Christopher Mitten (The Autumn Kingdom), THE SIXTH GUN: BATTLE FOR THE SIX #1 takes aim in comic shops everywhere on July 23rd!
