Greetings Loyal Airmen, starting this week, the Air Chief wants to point you to a truly great graphic novel written by a good friend of ours.

SPACE CORPS by writer Bryan Richmond and artist Gannon Beck is one of the best graphic novel we’ve ever had the pleasure of reading. It is a science fiction war book that is both exciting and thriller while at the same thoughtful and sensitive to the portrayal of the soldiers caught in bloody combat. As a veteran, we found the scenes of Alien Boot Camp so vivid and re-mindful of the Basic Training 8 weeks of hell we  endured at Fort Dix, New Jersey back in 1065. Bryan Richmond is a terrific writer. At the same time Gannon Beck’s pages are simply beautiful and powerful. Wisely using limited panels, he explodes the figures off the page in the same dramatic vein of an early Jack Kirby. Honestly, if you like good comics, you need to pick those one up. Available at Amazon.

FROM COVER TO TOY FIGURES

Pal Brian K. Morris brought this to our attention. One of his pals, Matthew MadCelt Jackson is a whiz a making Forge figures and he went and did one inspired by the cover of our latest volume of “Mystery Men (& Women” which features Mark Vander Zanden’s Killdevil. We we were blown away by it and had to share it with all of you Loyal Airmen.

THE CRIMSON NUN

Artist Jesse Thomas continues to turn in new pages for our CRIMSON NUN # 1 and they are so beautiful. Each new one blows me away. Series like this and JIN & TONIK are why the Air Chief continues to love writing comics.

JIN & TONIK

Speaking of JIN & TONIK, here’s a really awesome piece artist Cesar Feliciano whipped up a while ago that we really loved. Don’t recall if we shared it before, but even we did, it’s worth showing off again.

And that’s it for this week, Loyal Airmen. A short Flight Log, but trust me lots of projects are coming down the road and we’ll soon be promoting them right here. As ever, thanks for stopping by.
