Titan Comics and Hard Case Crime announced a return to the Gun Honey universe at San Diego Comic-Con 2024 and today, The Beat has exclusive details about the first issue of its new series. Building off the success of the 2023 spin-off, Heat Seeker, the creative team will return for Heat Seeker: Combustion in November. Writer Charles Ardai, artist Ace Continuado, and colorist Asifur Rahman are all returning.
Here’s the solicitation text for Heat Seeker: Combustion – A Gun Honey Series #1:
THE BEST-SELLING GUN HONEY SPIN-OFF IS BACK! Set in the GUN HONEY universe, starring the fiery ex-girlfriend of Gun Honey Joanna Tan — a master of disguise and deception! A biological weapon that could kill millions…a scientist’s daughter who needs to disappear…and HEAT SEEKER Dahlia Racers is on the job! But can she beat a beautiful mercenary unable to feel heat, cold, fatigue, or pain?
“THE FINEST KIND OF PULP NOIR.” — ED BRUBAKER
The Beat can also reveal variant covers by Tula Lotay (including a teaser for a bagged nude variant that will retail for $10) and Continuado below.
And below, see the main cover art by David Nakayama and unlettered interior art revealed at SDCC 2024.
From the looks of it, issue #1 is at least partially set in Venice and partially in a much snowier climate with a ski resort. The real question is, where does Dahlia go from there?
Heat Seeker: Combustion #1 will be available at your local comic shop and online on November 6. All variants except for the bagged nude variant by Lotay will retail for $3.99.
