NYCC 2026: The Gun Honey Universe Expands with Killproof

Posted on by Leave a comment

Titan Comics and Hard Case Crime have announced Killproof: A Gun Honey Series, a brand-new comic book series expanding the bestselling Gun Honey Universe.
 
Created by Charles Ardai, founder of the award-winning Hard Case Crime imprint, Killproof stars a new heroine, Evie Parker, in the ever-expanding, interconnected world of Gun Honey.
 
Written by Charles Ardai, with art by Ace Continuado, inks by Juan Castro, colors by Asifur Rahman, and lettering by David Leach, Killproof brings a fresh combination of hard-boiled crime, high-octane action, outrageous humor and pulp adventure to the Gun Honey Universe.
 
A seasoned mercenary, a trained killer, Evie’s been genetically altered so that she can’t feel pain, heat, cold, hunger or fatigue – and she heals instantly from any injury. She’s killproof!
 
But those very attributes make her a target, and in Killproof #1, Evie gets abducted by the richest man in the world, hoping to gain the same imperviousness and healing powers for himself…
 
Killproof: A Gun Honey Series #1 from Titan Comics and Hard Case Crime is set to hit comic shops in April 2027.
 
Charles Ardai, Ace Continuado and Juan Castro will be signing a special 16-page advance sampler of Killproof: A Gun Honey Series at New York Comic-Con on Friday, October 8 at 12pm at the ComicXposure booth, #3935.

Titan Comics and Hard Case Crime have revealed that artist Stanley “Artgerm” Lau will illustrate a cover for the new Gun Honey series Doubles Down in June 2026! 

Award-winning author and Hard Case Crime co-founder Charles Ardai returns to the Gun Honey universe with a bold new international thriller sultry weapons smuggler Joanna Tan. This action-packed installment delivers all the intrigue and intensity that fans have come to expect, and will be brought to life through the explosive, cinematic artwork of returning series artist Ang Hor Kheng.

When a botched attack on the dictator of Russia sends three identical-looking men fleeing Moscow for Siberia, Finland, and the Black Sea, Gun Honey Joanna Tan is offered $10 million to separate the real target from his doubles — and make sure the right man dies.

Gun Honey Doubles Down #1 goes on sale in comic shops and digital devices in June 2026.
