Gun Honey

Product Information

If you’re a fan of crime thrillers, hardwired pulp, and edge of your seat grindhouse action then Gun Honey is a five star experience you can’t miss out on. Reddit and its partners use cookies and similar technologies to provide you with a better experience. But yeah, you're not going to be stopping every few pages, attempting to decipher the most cryptic of plots. With weapons expert Joanna Tan, the legendary "Gun Honey," off the grid, recuperating from her last job, a vengeful rival takes her place - and frames Joanna for murder.

All the females have an identical body type somewhere between Pamela Anderson circa 1995 and Scarlett Johansson in her Black Widow latex suit. She's very good at getting guns into locations that people would not normally think a gun could get into (opening scene has her smuggle in a gun onto a boat by carrying the weapon in pieces attached to her bikini).Plus it was great to find out after reading the blurb in the back of this book that this series will be continuing.

Thank you NetGalley and Titan Books for providing me with this ARC in exchange for an honest review! Biography: Charles Ardai is the founder and editor of Hard Case Crime and the Edgar Award-winning author of the acclaimed novels Little Girl Lost and Songs of Innocence.

As was the central premise here - when a law enforcement agency reaches out for help, it seems to be making an offer Joanna can't refuse. There was an attempt to give her character more edge than the usual temptress who can handle her guns, but this reads more like a pervy guilty pleasure comic book than anything else.

Joanna Tan, the woman from the beach and reputationally known as Gun Honey, arrives home a few days later to find a government agent waiting for her. Gun Honey is the alias of the strong and sassy female protagonist, an arm's dealer who can import guns wherever they are needed, even in the most heavily guarded places.

Award winning Charles Ardai, co-founder of Hard Case Crime, brings his noir expertise to the fore in his debut graphic novel about a sexy weapons smuggler.

With Gun Honey I think you need to be open to pulp fiction/noir storytelling to truly appreciate how great and fun this first issue is. Expect violence, trench coats, cleavage, murder, boobs, prison breaks, massacres, bondage, gratuitous violence, gratuitous nudity, explosions, vigilante justice, etc. Gun Honey is a slick pulp noir action thriller teaming the slim, sexy, ample-breasted Joanna Tan with square-jawed, unshaven, hunky Agent Brook Barrow, the Burrow Bitch’s trusted sidekick. The story occupies a murky territory between espionage, thriller and crime: Tan is actively supplying weapons for nefarious purposes (whether or not she has any scruples about what she does is one of the central questions here - one which for me wasn't, quite, answered in this volume).

The point it seems is for our overly endowed comic book princess to cavort around in a bikini and often less in between taking on bad guys all by herself. If you’re a long-time follower of Titan’s titles, you already know their crime comics can be hit or miss. Accent is on the story, action, and whole bunch of twists and turns taking place that will keep the reader interested to the very end. We conclude the issue with an emotional memory of Tan’s father, a look at her next job, and a clear look a the risks involved with her line of work. So the story gets darker, moving from the daring set up of the opening pages, where she poses on a beach to catch the eye of a tycoon as part of a job, to an attempted infiltration of a crime syndicate.
