Axe Cop #4

Axe Cop strides front and center on this 2013 Dark Horse release, brandishing his red axe overhead while clutching an American flag, explosions and chaos erupting behind him — with a crowned, green-haired companion and a large grinning creature with sunglasses lurking at the edges of the mayhem. Subtitled "President of the World," the cover by Ethan Nicolle and Cliff Cramp captures the gleefully unhinged energy that makes this series such a delight, blending patriotic imagery with pure comic absurdity. Written by Malachai Nicolle and illustrated by Ethan Nicolle, this is the kind of issue where the cover alone promises an entertainingly wild ride.
