AXE COP For President 2012!
AXE COP FOR PRESIDENT 2012!
APRIL 2, SEATTLE, WA–Direct from Emerald City Comicon, mad-scientist brotherly duo Ethan and Malachai
Nicolle are back with Axe Cop: President of the World!
This
brand-new, print-exclusive story written by eight-year-old Malachai Nicolle and
drawn by his older brother Ethan Nicolle promises to be as wild as the last
series. Upon its debut as a webcomic in December of 2009, Axe Cop was
instantly hailed by the entertainment press as a hit.
“The new Axe
Cop miniseries President of the World is a follow-up
to Bad Guy Earth. It picks up right where Bad Guy Earth leaves
off, when Axe Cop is made the president of all presidents,” said Ethan.
Axe Cop has
been appointed president of the whole world! But what will Axe Cop and his
friends do in a world with no bad guys? Look to defeat the bad guys from outer
space, of course! Axe Cop is commander in chief of hilarious adventures as only
a kid could imagine.
“This
miniseries, much like Bad Guy Earth, was created during a monthlong
visit with Malachai. It includes a lot of new characters, good and
bad. It’s apocalyptic and charming just like a good Axe Cop comic
should be. Obviously, way back when we wrote Bad Guy Earth we
did not plan for an Axe Cop comic about his presidency to come out right in the
middle of the elections, but that is what happened. Perfect timing,” Ethan
explained. “I think anyone who loves Axe Cop will love this
one. I really tried to make it a continuation from the last miniseries and not
a ‘sequel’ that tries to top the last one. Malachai and I had a blast making
it.”
Praise for Axe
Cop: Bad Guy Earth:
“So engaging that
you can't help but read this book all in one sitting.”—IGN.com
