Greetings Loyal Airmen, this time next week the Air Chief will be in Columbus, Ohio, for the annual Pulp Fest Convention and we certainly hope to see many of you there.  Okay, let's dig into this week's Flight Log.  You know, there are some weeks where the Air Chief scrambles to find something to write about here and others, like this one, are this chock full of good things to share with you.  So let's dive right in, shall we.?

After many long months, the newest issues of  MR. JIGSAW – Man of a Thousand Parts # 11 is at long last out and available at (www.IndyPlanet.com).  Just go to our Links page and click on there to either Jiggy's own website page or that of his publisher, Redbud Studio.  This story, “The Life of Pie,” is a time-travel adventure the Air Chief has been wanting to try for a long time and we really really hope you'll enjoy it as much fun as we had bringing it to you.  Art as ever by our co-creator Gary Kato with edits and design work by Rob Davis.

Now on the pulp side, we just released our seventh title from Airship 27 Productions,  I.A. Watson's final book in his fantastic Robin Hood trilogy;  ROBIN HOOD – FREEDOM'S OUTLAW.  The previous two books, KING OF SHERWOOD & ARROW OF JUSTICE were great adventure novels but this one is the grand finale that wraps up the entire sage…in such a grand manner.  I.A. Watson is one of the finest British writers in the field today and you owe it to yourselves to discover his wonderful fiction.  The book is now available at our Airship 27 website (click on to the dirigible logo to upper left corner of this column) and will be at Amazon within the next few days both as a hard copy book and as a digital copy for Kindle.  As with the previous two entries, artist Mike Manley provided this awesome cover and Rob David has nine gorgeous spot illustrations to dress things up.

Staying on the pulp theme, the Air Chief's latest pulp short story is a brand new Spider tale called “SPIDER TRAP” and it is features in Moonstone Books' new anthology pictured above, SPIDER – Extreme Prejudice.  This is our second short story starring the Master of Men, the Spider and we had a blast writing it. He is such a great pulp character.  The book is now available at Amazon, Barnes & Noble on-line and through Moonstone's own website.  Give it a look, we think you'll enjoy it.

Finally, we saw the summer sci-fi blockbuster PACIFIC RIM this past week and absolutely loved it!!  Major thumbs up to director Guiermo Del Toro, the same genius who made the Hellboy movies, and his crew for delivering a non-stop, actioner that is brilliantly done.  Giant monsters fight giant robots!!!  What more could any sci-fi enthusiast ask for?  The flick has great FX, tons of action, a good story and marvelous acting by the entire cast.  Bottom, this is our favorite the movie of the year thus far, with IRON MAN 3 and STAR TREK Into the Darkness tying for second place.  All you Loyal Airmen owe to yourselves to go see this truly fun movie.  Next up for us will most likely be, WOLVERINE.  Oh, yeah.

And that wraps it all up for this week, Loyal Airmen.  We've tons to do at Hangar 27 before the next seven days go up and we fly out to Columbus.  Thanks as ever for stopping by.
Ron – Over & Out!
