Gun Honey Spinoff Heat Seeker Exposed Reveals Tantalizing First Look (Exclusive)

The Gun Honey Universe continues to grow with another spinoff starring Dahlia Racers. Celebrated crime author Charles Ardai and his Hard Case Crime imprint have found a home at Titan Comics, with several volumes of Gun Honey delivering hit after hit. The success of Gun Honey has spawned a sister title in Heat Seeker, featuring Joanna Tan’s fiery ex-girlfriend Dahlia Racers. ComicBook has highlighted previous Heat Seeker titles, and today we bring you an inside look at the next one, which promises to be even more daring and sexier than its predecessors.

ComicBook has the exclusive first look at Heat Seeker Exposed: A Gun Honey Series #1 by writer Charles Ardai and artist Ace Continuado. The pages find Dahlia being chased on a subway train. Dahlia gets a warning from Gun Honey, so she sheds her disguise and tries to evade her pursuer by climbing the train. Dahlia jumps from one train to another, crashing through a window on the second. “That was too close. Even for me,” Dahlia says to herself. “And I have a feeling it’s not the last close call I’ve got coming.”
