The Brothers are Back!
The Secret Agent Brothers return this week with 3 more missions!
I loved doing this side-series with Malachai. As of right now this is all the material I have for the Secret Agent Brothers, but we are currently working on an Axe Cop halloween special which will come out at the end of the month. I'll be in the AXE CHAT tonight at 9:30 pm pacific time if anyone wants to discuss anything, ask questions, whatever. See you next week!

Mustache Santa
Today's guest strip is slightly off season, but it should prepare you for the holdidays which are sooner then they seem…
I don't know what you thought, but to me, seeing Axe Cop shaving Santa's beard off with his Axe alone was worth the price of admission. The guys behind thisguest episode are the team that made the new Arcana graphic novel Scrooge and Santa which is available in Diamond under Diamond Code: OCT100763 and if you are not a comic shop you can pre-order the book here. Josh was the man who helped me out by coloring the Axe Cop “Audactiy of CHOP” poster and he also helped me with some stuff that will be in BEARMAGEDDON whenever I get back around to that project.
Tomorrow you can expect a new episode of SECRET AGENT BROTHERS to be out, and though it looks like the podcast is off this week because John and James both happen to be dentallly handicapped, I will be joining Axe Chat tomorrow night at 9:30pm pacific time.

Secret Agent Brothers!
Last time I visited Malachai, my brother Isaiah came along. I sat and took notes as the two of them played secret agents. From those notes I took down about four secret missions. Today you get to read mission one:
If you missed last night's podcast then you should know that Malachai and I are working on an Axe Cop Halloween special. A 3 to 5 page story about Axe Cop fighting a Night Monster that will come out at the end of this month online. Meanwhile I am plugging away at BAD GUY earth.
Also, my brother Isaiah (Agent I in this episode) does a podcast about video games you should check out if you play video games.
I also have a new Axe Cop and Wexter t-shirt in the works based on the cover of the Axe Can we handed out at Comic Con. That should be out in time for Christmas.
Thanks for being patient during this time of infrequent updates. I can't wait for you to see BAD GUY EARTH!

CHOP! 13 – Bing Crosby Ghost Cop
The latest episode of CHOP! The Axe Cop Podcast is available! Listen in for exclusive information on the upcoming Axe Cop series from Dark Horse!
Book Cop Reads a Book
My friend Sean McGowan made this guest episode with his friend Caleb Hunt. It's very large and somewhat random, and it definitely made me laugh, so maybe it will also make you laugh. It's called “Book Cop Reads a Book”.
At the time I've posted this, the button up on the main window is not working for some reason… so just click the one here.
If you want to see more of Sean's work, check out his YouTube channel. Thanks Sean and Caleb for this episode, I love the concept of Book Cop reading to his enemies before he slays them with a book.
I have been working on the covers for the Axe Cop Dark Horse miniseries (the way things work you have to have the cover art done way ahead of the innards so that you can solicit to the distributors). Tomorrow, hopefully, I will have a new episode of Axe Cop Presents for you. See you then!

the Golden Wexter
A fan named Mike made this Golden Wexter trophy. He says he it is going to be a prize at his workplace for something. I want to own this, and I want it to be made of solid gold.
Here is a video. I must warn you, the heavy breathing is a little creepy but it gives you the full rotation of his epid creation.

Heads!
Today we learn what Axe Cop does with his abundanc of chopped off heads…
I would also like to mention that head headchopper Adam from the forum has started Axe Chat. I have agreed to join Axe Chat once a week Wednesday nights at 8pm pacific time. Tonight will not be the first night, it will start next week,but starrting next Wednesday at 8pm I'll come n for 30 minutes to an hour and conversate, answer questions, endure abuse, emoticons, lolz and all the other things that go along with chatting. You can join the Axe Chat group on Facebook if you want to stay up to date:
Bad Guy Earth is now all roughed out in thumbnails. I need to get to work on covers soon. Thanks for bearing with the change to the weekly update. I have some uest strips to post, so I will probably post one of those tomorrow.

Malachai and the Poop Monster
I posted this on Facebook tonight, it is something I posted on MySpace (back when people used MySpace) about a year before Axe Cop happened. It was my attempt to help potty train Malachai, who was very resistant to pooping anywhere but his pants.
Click the image to read the full story. It is on Facebook, so I am not sure if you will need to be signed in to see it.

Another Tale of Young Axey
We learn more about Axey's childhood today, and we also learn about rabbits:
Realistically, I'll probably be doing a weekly update for a while. Mostly Ask Axe Cop episodes until I get a good amount of the Bad Guy Earth miniseries done. Malachai has been calling me to “work” more than ever and I have such a surplus of material from him that if and when he grows out of this, I'll still have archives to pull from.
Anyway, it always feels good to post an Ask Axe Cop episode. This one really made me laugh.
