One Month of AXE COP

Today is the one month anniversary of AXE COP!  What an INSANE month it has been.


To celebrate… AXE COP fights Chuck Norris in today's edition of ASK AXE COP.

 

To all of you who have bought merch from us, here is a little behind the scenes… my dear friends Anthony and Amy Munoz are running the AXE SHOP out of their apartment.  Both of them work full time jobs but are working hard to organize this all so that I can keep updating content and we can still produce shirts.  This month has been the craziest month of my life.

I have a lot more to say, but am doing a LIVE interview on SLG radio at 2pm pacific time.  If you are reading this and it is between 2 and 3 pacific today you can call in and ask questions at (646) 378-0737

 

Thanks to everyone for making the first month of Axe Cop so amazing.  Here's to month two!

Introducing the Moon Warriors!

Ladies and Gentlmen, I give you the Moon Warriors.

 

This episode is a break from the norm… meaning, Axe Cop is nowhere to be found in it, but I think it still has all the charm we've come to expect from my crazy awesome little brother. 


I know I am going to get a bunch of people writing in freaking out wondering if Axe Cop will be back.  Of COURSE he will… if the hint at the end of this episode is not enough of a hint for you, then you probably were also surprised by the plot twists in Avatar and there is no hope for you.

 

Yesterday we released the first official Axe Cop motion comic.  Check out the blog before this one to see it.  We are hoping to turn each Axe Cop episode and each “Ask Axe Cop” into a motion comic eventually.  A big thanks to everyone who helped make the motion comic.


I am posting this episode atabout 4:30 am because I have been up all night working on it.  I have a busy day tomorrow so I would not have posted it till the evening if I had waited.  So here it is!  I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

Official AXE COP Motion Comic Debut!

Axe Cop's got an official motion comic now, and it's awesome.  Check it out below, and please pass it along to your friends.

 
We are hoping to get one of these made for every episode of Axe Cop and Ask Axe Cop.  It is all volunteer and made by people who simply love Axe Cop.  I try to be involved only as an over-seer but I stay focused on making new strips.
 
Speaking of new strips, Axe Cop #9 was due out today, but instead I released this, which I was going to release tomorrow, but I eneded up being so behind on #9 I switched and released this today instead. 
 
If you have after effects skills and think you could be involved in the creation of another Axe Cop motion comic, send me a message at info@axecop.com and send me a sample of your work.  Big thanks to the guys involved in making this possible:

First Time on Paper

 

I am now realizing that as I started selling these sketches… this is the first time Axe Cop characters have been drawn on paper.  If you are a collector type this is your chance to own the first ever on-paper drawing of these characters.

 

All of the comics are drawn digitally using a Wacom tablet, and I have never done concept art or sketches for any of the characters… I just make them up on the spot in the story, and since Axe Cop has never been printed, these sketches are literally the first time these characters will be on paper.

 

 

So far someone has ordered the first Axe Cop ever (pictured above), the first Uni-Man, and the first Wexter (he got in before I made the no T-Rex rule.  I can't be drawing people T-Rexes with machine gun arms at these prices, I'll go insane).  The rest of the orders have either been more of those or digital.  So if you are a fan of Flute Cop, Sockarang (the sketch above has not been claimed yet)… basically any of the characters besides the three mentioned, this is your chance to get the first “real” drawing of them.   It will be one of a kind in that sense, and I will write on it “first ever [character] on paper” by my signature.

 

Sketches are available in the AXE SHOP.  And thanks to all who have already ordered

I Wanna Be On Your TEAM!

What's it take to get onto AXE COP's team?  Today we find out in a very informative ASK AXE COP #11 that is all about awesome moves.


Also, if you are into sketches, I am now selling Sketches in the AXE SHOP.  This will be for a limited time while I need the income to keep Axe Cop going while we try to cover the expenses of new merchandise and everything else involved.  Buy a sketch if you like to collect sketches, or if you want to send a little extra help our way to show support. 


Also, we are finally getting shirts shipped out, thanks for being patient with us.  If you ordered one of the newer designs it will still take a while, but we'll get you your stuff.  Thanks for buying Axe Cop stuff if you did, and for visiting the site.  You may have noticed we have some ads up now, clicking those puppies helps us too.

Axe Cop for President!

Change we can all believe in… Axe Cop is blowing up bad guys again and this time it's presidential. As Malachai explained to me, if you are president you never run out of bombs. I am pretty that is pretty close to true, and useful until you run out of bad guys to destroy.

Special thanks to Josh Kenfield for coloring this for me today so it would be out in time for the new episode of Ask Axe Cop. You may have noticed we now have a FORUM, so if you enjoy Axe Cop please join it. We are also selling my two Eisner nominated Chumble Spuzz books in the store with a sketch for $5 extra of your choice. Later we will be adding some wall papers and icons to the Extras section, and yes, eventually this CHOP image will be a shirt. How can it not be? Thanks for reading AXE COP. Ethan
