Billjohn’s back. Heck yeah.
I’ve been missing Billjohn and Bunn and Hurtt reveal he’s back in the first couple pages this issue.
This issue finishes the “Bound” arc and shows how complicated Bunn’s plotting is on The Sixth Gun. While nothing big happened–except Drake’s disappearance–the reader learns a great deal about Becky and Gord. Bunn waits until now to reveal another layer to the whole picture as well.
He’s got to have some kind of outline.
There’s more action than in the last couple issues here, with Gord fighting himself (sometimes literally) as he struggles to deal with a devil. Sorry, couldn’t resist.
And then Becky has her big moment, along with a quieter one where she discovers more powers of the Sixth Gun.
This arc gives Bunn and Hurtt a lot more toys and somehow revitalizes the series, even though it didn’t need to be.
It’s excellent.
