Axe Cop: New Trailer Shows the Importance of Helping Friends…

Leave a comment

On the 27th of July the Television world will be blessed with an awesome spectacle as the Axe Cop series will officially explode onto our screens. To hold us over until then we have this new trailer for the series…

“There is something better than having friends, killing the guy who killed your friends”

Now if this is not the most quotable line I have heard this year I will eat my axe! The Axe Cop cartoon just keeps looking  better and better. Throughout this short trailer we have characters like Army Chihuahua, Sergeant T, Chicken Head (the human headed chicken that shoots out baby chickens with guns) and Liborg. I think you can guess who is who.

The sense of fun is still showing with this trailer broadcasting the great line Axe Cop Night Mission. I loved the retro 80’s cop show feel to the start of this trailer, but my favorite part of it was the sense of epic scale it gives. This trailer has it all; giant friend eating monsters, dinosaurs flying overhead with other dinosaurs, the excitement level is off the scale.

 Fun Fact: The dinosaurs actually live on ‘Dinosaur Island’ where they moved to avoid Earth’s volcanoes from burning them up.

Fans of the comic book will already know this, but for casual viewers of Axe Cop, this trailer covers elements from the story arc Bat Warthog Man Can’t Find His Friend (Episode 75 – 98). Once again fans of Axe Cop will be in their element looking at all the comic characters on show, but the trailer is still able to capture the imagination of newer viewers with its cheeky and bizarre charm. This show is going to be a hit.

If this is not enough to keep you Axe Cop hungry fans satisfied then why not have a look at this new Axe Cop toy that can be found on Forbidden Planet or any place cool enough to stock them. There will be plenty more to come to and they will be on my shelf very soon. More information on this series will be posted when it comes about.

Animated ‘Axe Cop’ to Premiere July 27th!

Leave a comment

Comic Alliance has released another animated gem. Back in November we told you about the upcoming Fox show starring Axe Cop, but since we’ve had no further news. That was until last week when the official broadcast date for the show was revealed to be July 27th. For those unaware of Axe Cop, he is the creation of Ethan Nicolle (artist) and his five-year old brother Malachai (writer), and it is quite a surreal trip. But instead of trying to explain the premise of the character why not look below at the new footage that has Axe Cop as the President.

For fans of the comic this clip must be a joy to behold. It has the same crazy energy and sense of fun that the comic book has, and now it has Ron Swanson (Nick Offerman – of Parks and Recreation fame) who is spot on. I have watched the previous Halloween clip a few times now to get a handle on the voice, which I was unsure about. But after seeing this clip, I am sure Ron is the right man for the job. The animation is also fantastic, looking like it flew straight off the comic book page.

Standout scenes have to be the cheeky cameos of Axe Cop’s dinosaur and Flute Cop as his security chief. Also the way Axe Cop slaps the money on the tramps head, and the entire scene involving blowing up the bad guys. This had me howling with laughter and that is perhaps the best part of the clip. It is a humor that can be appreciated by anyone who enjoys a silly laugh and because of this I can see this show doing well. July 27th seems a long way away so lets hope more footage is released of Axe Cops antics soon.
