Heat Seeker: Exposed #1: Dahlia Racers’ Ultimate Disappearing Act
Get ready for a high-octane chase as Titan Comics and Hard Case Crime unleash Heat Seeker: Exposed #1, the latest thrilling installment in the Gun Honey universe. This new series, launching June 4, 2025, thrusts fan-favorite Dahlia Racers into an unprecedented predicament: she needs to disappear herself.
Dahlia Racers: The Art of Disappearing
Dahlia Racers is known as the “mistress of misdirection and diva of disguise”. Her unique criminal specialty involves taking the heat off others, whether it’s faking their death, drawing pursuers away, or, when absolutely necessary, even saving the world. However, in Heat Seeker: Exposed #1, the tables turn dramatically when a relentless investigative reporter threatens to expose Dahlia’s own criminal activities. This forces Dahlia to vanish not only from the reporter and the police but also from her former clients who now seek to silence her permanently.
The creative team bringing this intense narrative to life includes Charles Ardai as the writer, Ace Continuado on pencils, Asifur Rahman as the inker, and David Castro as the letterer. The series is also guided by editorial guidance from Charles Ardai. This team delivers a compelling and fast-paced story, ensuring a gripping experience for new comics readers and long-time fans of the Gun Honey universe.
This expanded narrative for Dahlia Racers came about due to a creative opportunity. Writer Charles Ardai, also the founder of Hard Case Crime, envisioned a scenario where Dahlia had to disappear herself. This irresistible idea, combined with the availability of renowned cover artist Artgerm (Stanley Lau) and the willingness of penciller Ace Continuado to take on two back-to-back projects, led to the creation of Heat Seeker: Exposed. The series promises to delve deeper into Dahlia’s character and her past, raising questions about her network of associates and the secrets she holds.

Heat Seeker: Exposed aims to continue this tradition, offering readers a “taut, sexy, clever” espionage thriller that builds masterfully on the foundations of the Gun Honey series. Fans can expect “high-octane” action and unexpected twists, making it a “well worth a look if sexy, twist-and-turny espionage fun is your thing”.
