Child's Web Comic Becomes Live Action Movie

[vimeo=19119108]​

Axe Cop, the delightfully absurd web comic written by a 6-year-old and illustrated by his 29-year-old brother, adapts to live action startlingly well.

Axe Cop [http://axecop.com/] is quite the web comic. It features a police officer who rides a T-Rex with machine-gun arms named Wexter who fights alongside companions like Uni-Baby, Dinosaur Soldier, and Sockarang against the evil forces of Bad Santa, Evil Flying Book, and King Evilfatsozon.

All of Axe Cop is written by 6-year-old Malachai Nicolle, in a sterling example of the weirdness that children can come up with. His 29-year-old comic book artist brother, Ethan, heard Malachai raving about his imaginary persona, and enjoyed the story so much he drew a one page comic.

That one page comic has now developed into an 80 episode saga, with rabid fans who send in questions to be answered in an "Ask Axe Cop" series.

And now, thanks to Peter Muehlenberg, he's a live action badass.

This is awesome.

 

[hittite]

That was the greatest thing I've ever seen ever.

 

[Lord Beautiful]

That was surprisingly awesome. Keep these coming.

Also, please, for the love of God, translate the Axe Cop/ Dr. McNinja crossover to live action. It's just stupid enough to work.

 

[Mrsoupcup]

My brain has melted.....

 

[Stoplesteimer]

When I read the thread title I started hoping it was Axe Cop, and now I am incredibly pleased.

 

[Skuffyshootster]

How delightfully absurd...

 

[Xanadu84]

This reminds me a lot of, "Sockbaby". A crossover there would be pretty awesome

How delightfully absurd...

Seth McFarlane could learn a thing or... well every-fucking-thing from this kid. Someone should really just rub it in his face that a six year old has a better understanding of narrative than him.

 

[Alluos]

The cop reminds me of Jesse Hughes, this is a good thing.

 

[Stilt-Man]

I can't believe how faithful they were to the initial episode, especially without making it look stupid. That was amazing! I hope there will be more.

 

[SnootyEnglishman]

Now all we need to have to have Dr McNinja and the world will explode.

 

[JemothSkarii]

I...This...It...I want to lick it...and the comic...

 

[The Rogue Wolf]

I would like to have a picture of Roger Ebert's face the moment he sees this.

"Axe-Cop... Axe-Cop...." Aw, man, now it's in my HEAD.

 

[Olorune]

What?

 

[Frozen Donkey Wheel2]

I didn't actually laugh until that goofy chorus over the credits.

AXE CAAAAAAAHHHHHHP!
AXE CAAAAAAAHHHHHHP!

 

[V8 Ninja]

Only three words can describe my reaction to this:

I WANT MORE!!! =D

 

[The Random One]

Well... they are certainly faithful to the source material.
