Axe Cop and Dinosaur Soldier soar over their enemies: regular cops
Reasons Why AXE COP Is The Best Comic on Earth
CREATOR TO WATCH:
ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER Actor. Restaurant entrepreneur. Governor. And now…comic book creator? Arnold Schwarzenegger will not stop until he conquers every mountain in pop culture, as thearnoldfans.com announced earlier this week that the former Governor of California plans to create a comic book! No details of the book have been announced, but Arnold was quoted as saying, “I am also packaging a comic book character right now. I'm going to announce that sometime by the end of March or the beginning of April.” Of course that sentence can be interpreted in so many different ways, but we’re taking it as, “Arnold will create comics.” And why shouldn’t he create a comic? The Terminator has already penned five books on physical fitness and considering all of the sci-fi movies he’s starred in there’s no telling what kind of genius is stored in that Austrian brain! • CM
Breaking down our favorite comic of the week: 'Axe Cop' #1 by Dark Horse
1
It’s Written by a 6-year old! Turns out there's no substitute for a child's animation. Writer Malachai Nicolle (he just turned 7 this week) creates each story by playing with his brother, 30-year-old artist Ethan. It cuts out the convoluted crap we’re tired of reading in comics.
2
It Has Dinosaurs! Batman has cool gadgets. Iron Man has an expensive suit. But is there a superhero out there who rides a T-Rex with machine gun powered arms? Axe Cop does! And his name is Wexter.
3
It’s Free! Sure, Axe Cop officially hit print last week with its first issue from Dark Horse, but it’s been a free web comic on axecop.com since January 2010. And there’s more than 50 issues uploaded on the site. And it's free!
"Now that California is free of Terminators, it's time to write comics!"

It Has A CRAZY CAST! Axe Cop’s trusty sidekick is Flute Cop, who has been transformed into Dinosaur Soldier, Avocado Solider, Ghost Cop and then Drag-TriGhostacops Rex. And that's not even getting into Sockarang, Baby Man or Axe Cop's talking dog, Ralph Wrinkles. This cast is over the top.
OOPS!

In issue # 1.1 we ran art work of "American Terror," but we meant to show art for "American Terrorist" instead. Our bad.
It’s Fun! "Axe Cop," at its core is just a fun comic for everyone to read—casual readers and hardcore nerds. • Carlos Mejia
