Reed and Sterling are back at it again! In this exciting issue, Reed loses the gang’s money buying a pair of new boots! In order to make the money back, he agrees to exterminate a nearby town’s werewolf problem. Little does he know that things with this werewolf may not be what they seem!
This is a stand alone, done-in-one adventure so be sure to let folks who have never picked up a copy of REED GUNTHER before know!
Take a look into the first 9-PAGES of this story over at Newsarama!
And if those first nine pages didn’t quite entice you to pick up this issue, check out this review from ComicBuzz.com:
“It’s nigh on impossible to fault Reed Gunther. It’s fun, accessible, entertaining and there’s always a sense that everyone involved is doing the best they can do and enjoying it while they do it. I’ve praised a lot of Image comics other the past 12 months, but Reed Gunther is as good as any other.”
If you can’t wait to get to your local comic shop, you can purchase a digital version of this issue right here on Graphic.ly:
Thanks everyone! Hope you enjoy the new issue!

Hey folks!
As the year comes to an end, Chris and I have taken a look a back at a year of firsts for REED GUNTHER and look forward to a new year filled with awesomeness!
It looks like we’ve made a little splash in the world of comics this year and a few press sites have taken notice.
iFanboy.com awarded REED GUNTHER by naming it #1 on its list of TEN MOST FUN COMICS OF 2011!
ComicAttack.net named REED GUNTHER as their #1 TOP ALL-AGES TITLE OF 2011!
ComicImpact.com reviewed REED GUNTHER #6 and singled out that issue as “the most fun comic of 2011!”
Well Watchers podcast awarded REED GUNTHER with BEST TRADE PAPERBACK COLLECTION OF 2011!
TheSnipeNews.com awarded REED GUNTHER as the MOST OVERLOOKED COMIC OF 2011!
Every month there are more and more folks discovering Reed and jumping headfirst into any issue. Don MacPherson over at EyeOnComics.com started with issues #5 and #6 and was smitten:
“The Houghton brothers clearly have a passion for comics and for light, goofy adventure. Each issue — hell, each panel — exudes so much personality and whimsy, one can’t help but smile at the title character’s triumphs and gaffes.”
And most strangely flattering… Chris and I were named number 6 and 7 on the list of TOP TEN SEXIEST COMIC CREATORS over at FreakinAwesomeNetwork.com. Seriously.
In the digital realm, REED GUNTHER #1 is now available on Comixology for FREE! Be sure to rate the book with as many stars as you feel appropriate. Also, the digital trade paperback is now only $7.99! What a steal!
2012 is going to be a big year for Reed Gunther so we hope you’re all on board! Starting in January, we have an incredibly fun werewolf story! Then in February, Reed takes a back seat as we have a spooky and fun story with Starla as the lead! Issues #9 and #10 are going to be an EPIC two-parter that you are not going to want to miss.
Thanks for reading all our goofy bear-riding adventures and we look forward to seeing you next year!
Happy Reading!
