In 2010 Oni Press premiered Bunn's series, The Sixth Gun, which continues to the present day.

In 2011, Oni Press published Bunn's original hardcover graphic novel, The Tooth. That same year, Earwig Press/Evileye Books published Bunn's middle reader horror prose series Crooked Hills. He also was one of the writers in Marvel Comics' crossover storyline that year, "Fear Itself". He wrote the tie-in book Fear Itself: The Black Widow, which received mostly positive reviews,[2][3][4][5] and later wrote two issues of The Fearless, a spinoff published after the conclusion of "Fear Itself" that also received positive reviews.[6] In November of that year, Lion Forge Comics published Bunn's digital comic, Night Trap.[7]

In 2013 Bunn wrote Deadpool Kills Deadpool for Marvel, which received positive reviews.[8][9]
