Axe Cop: Bad Guy Earth

Written by a young Malachai Nicolle and drawn by his older brother Ethan, Axe Cop: Bad Guy Earth is a three-issue Dark Horse miniseries that expands the gleefully chaotic world of the original webcomic. This 2011 story pits the titular hero against a planet full of villains, maintaining the series' signature blend of absurd, child-logic action and deadpan superheroics. A key chapter in the Nicolle brothers' celebrated collaboration, it captures the pure, unhinged creativity that made Axe Cop a cult favorite.
