We were doing science fiction stories about clones and kung-fu chicks
a decade before anyone had ever heard of Dolly the sheep or Lara Croft!
Check out the book that launched comics’ female action-hero genre...

WHAT IT IS:
Heartbreakers is a series of science fiction comic books and graphic novels by artist Paul Guinan and his wife writer Anina Bennett.
The newest book in the series,
Heartbreakers Meet Boilerplate.

THE BACKSTORY:
Queenie and Delta share their creator’s genes as well as her memories. But each of these clones has her own personality and purpose: Delta’s a scientist, Queenie’s a soldier. In their world, genetic engineering is an everyday event, clones are second-class citizens, and big business runs the show.

But that doesn’t stop this feisty, brains-and-brawn duo from tackling problems both big and small. Averting a global food crisis, fending off desert pirates, reconstucting ancient robots—it’s all in a day’s work for the Heartbreakers!
The original KUNG-FU CLONES!
