Saint James interview with Cosmic Book News
Sweet!
Cosmic Book News just posted an interview they did with Jesse and I where we discuss Ex Occultus, the comic book industry, and up-coming SJ comics. Check it out here.
New EX OCCULTUS bios now up!
To add a bit more depth to some of the characters in the Ex Occultus world, we’ve been posting their biographies here as they’re introduced in the comics. Previously, you’ve been able to read about Wakefield and Hollander, as well as Fergus and Conall Langavat from “Badge of Langavat.”
We’ve now updated with some key characters from the latest Ex Occultus one-shot, “Seal of Solomon”: the shady Marko Savanović, the misunderstood Grigor Zhelov, and Brother Jakob, the monk a background in the occult.

Buy This Comic: FCBD Edition: The Sixth Gun #1
Writer: Cullen Bunn
Art: Brian Hurtt
Publisher: Oni Press
Price: FREE!!
What a fantastic Free Comic Book Day! In years past there may have been a few good comics worth picking up, nothing absolutely must-have, but this year…this year there was an awesome selection of swag. And the best of the bunch? The Sixth Gun #1.
Written by Bunn (The Damned) and illustrated by Hurtt (The Damned, Queen & Country), the story centers on a mysterious gun with supernatural properties, a wary anti-hero and a rival gang of undead trying to acquire it, and some moody, occult-laden landscapes. The official synopsis per the Oni Press site:
During the darkest days of the Civil War, wicked cutthroats came into possession of six pistols of otherworldly power. The Sixth Gun—the most dangerous of the weapons— has vanished. When the gun surfaces in the hands of an innocent girl, dark forces reawaken. Villains thought long dead set their sights on retrieving the gun and killing anyone in their path. Only Drake Sinclair, a gunslinger with a shadowy past, stands in their way.
Now, if you didn’t make it out for FCBD and missed this one…fear not! Oni press will be delivering a second printing of issue #1 to stores sometime this month for a measly $3.99. They also have a nice little preview of the comic over at their site (right here). Oh, and check out the interview we did with Cullen Bunn earlier this year right here.
