CBR and Oni have posted the first issue of The Sixth Gun, a new series from Oni by Cullen Bunn and Brian Hurtt. The guys at Burnt Weiners really enjoyed checking out the issue at FREE COMIC BOOK DAY, and now here is your chance if you missed the freebie. Just click the comic above to be taken to the site.

Being a huge Punisher fan, I was wondering how this would turn out . . . and to be honest, I am pretty happy with it. I would have dropped “Circle of Blood” and “Long Cold Dark” for sure, adding “Punisher Kills The Marvel Universe” and a gem of two issue arc that I am blanking on the name, but has Punisher having to team up with a scumbag to fight his way out of an illegal pit fight he drops into on accident. “Slavers” is  great #1 spot, and to be perfectly honest, I am surprised it is up there that far. Oh well, guess others are just as fucked up as me!

Comic Book Resources – Greatest Punisher Stories Ever Told

10 Views on C2E2 – Comic Book Resources

Comic Book Resources has a great articles where they ask some of the comic book company execs that were there for C2E2 their thoughts on the event, and for the most part in my opinion many of them were spot on in their judgment, and very, very honest. The potential for the show in the future is huge, especially if companies and fans keep throwing support behind it. I loved the venue they chose to host it, it was supported by a ton of my favorite companies and my favorite groups, and they really catered to everyone having a good time. There were a ton of a panels (actually, maybe a few too many from the vendor viewpoint that kept many people off the floor most of the weekend) and the guest list was impressive.

C2E2 really has a chance to be something great in a few short years, and I for one will be pushing it hard and I hope other fans and companies do as well!
