Axe Cop Vol 1 Malachai Nicollle Ethan Nicolle Books

I've been closely following the Axe Cop series since hearing about it from a friend in early 2010. The premise is genius: A 5 year old boy narrates an ongoing story based on his amazing imagination, and his 29 year old brother, a professional comic book artist, brings those stories to life on paper. The result is always hilarious and often nonsensical. The amazing relationship that the Nicolle brothers have with each other is truly what makes this series great, as is made apparent on the dedication page ("Malachai and Ethan dedicate this book to each other.")

For those who are not familiar with the series, take a few minutes and check out Axe Cop's official website...most of the content that you find in this book will also be found there. For those who have already followed the series, here's what you'll find in this book: The first 3 chapters of the Axe Cop Saga (Episodes 1-70), Ask Axe Cop 1-42, a foreword written by Kevin Murphy (of MST3K fame), and numerous forewords and notes written by Ethan Nicolle (the small production notes found accompanying nearly every Ask Axe Cop are especially nice to read). There is also a small collection of fanart by other artists in the back of the book, which I don't believe is available elsewhere. You won't find any of the guest strips, nor will you find the Dr. McNinja crossover in this book, which was expected. You also won't find any "Axe Cop Presents:" content (comics by Ethan/Malachai which feature other characters outside the Axe Cop universe), but maybe we'll see that in a later book when those stories are a little more fleshed out.

The book itself is printed on decent quality glossy paper with a soft cover. With the exception of the cover, the comics are all in black and white, just as they are on the website (note that even the comics that feature some colors, such as the ones featuring the Gold-Bladed Chainsaw near the end of Chapter 2, are presented in black and white here). For the amount of content that you get, this book is a bargain for fans of the series. My one complaint is related to Amazon's shipping, the book was just thrown into a box that was much too big, where it rattled around and the corners got beat up a bit, not a big deal though. There was no sort of plastic cover either, but there didn't appear to be any sort of condensation damage from the cold weather. Collectors might want to consider paying a little more and picking this up from your local bookstore instead.

All in all, this is a fantastic comic. If nothing else, it does a good job of reminding us what it's like to be 5 years old again.

Axe Cop Vol 1 Malachai Nicollle Ethan Nicolle Books Reviews

Brings me back to the age of Captain Underpants books. I loved those books as a kid.

This and captain underpants are really the only two kids&teen books that perfectly craft the delicate art of absurdist potty humor and randomness. Really, I have never seen anything else succeed as well as this. I laugh so hard, no matter how many times i reread some of em. I've seen many things fail, but this succeded.

The reason I love that rare genre so much is because they're childlike but don't feel condescending to little kids. It's like, "you like potty humor.......? GREAT! Here's a whole book full of it! AND every page has pictures!"

The best book for children and all ages forever silly at heart.
I know you can read the strip for free online but having become obsessed with the cartoon I took a shot and picked up this first volume in the trade paper back series on a whim. It has far exceeded all of my expectations. Not only is the material hilarious but the book is put together well. Rather than picking or choosing from the massive amount of published material they start and move sequentially through the series separating the "episodes" into story arcs and sections. They also include the "Ask Axe Cop" strips which are likely the best part of these early pieces. The forward is by none other than Kevin Murphy of MST3k and Rifftrax fame, there's a pinup gallery in the back with a piece from Jhonen Vasquez (Invader Zim/Johnny The Homicidal Maniac). I've heard some people slam a little bit of the quality of the printing with this book but I can't say I had any difficulty reading it or discerning the greys from the background like others have stated. I've seen some sub-par trades in the past, my original collections of JTHM for example are absolutely unreadable and look like junk. While the paper might not have 1080 HD resolution I was very pleased with the quality with which this book was put together. if you are a fan of the series and interested in checking out these collected volumes or a fan of the show looking to test the water and see if you're interested in the comic as well but don't like reading on the computer this is your ticket and I highly recommend you give this a shot. The only thing I think that could be greatly improved upon is if they were to do a nice hardcover Omnibus or Absolute Edition collection of the first few volumes of this series, I know I'd buy it in a heartbeat!
Remember "Calvin & Hobbes", the comic strip about the world of a 6-year-old as written by an adult? Turn that premise on its head and that's what you get with "Axe Cop" a comic literally written by a 6-year-old and brought to life by his older brother who also happens to be an established comic book artist.

Make no mistake, the reason "Axe Cop" is such a success is because of Ethan Nicolle, the 30-year old artist who someone collects the stream-of-consciousness plot lines from his little brother and brings them together onto the page with wit, humor, and lots of action. The result is a wildly entertaining story with equally entertaining art. Malachai, the younger brother, does what 6-year-olds with a love of heroes, villains, and video games do he makes up wildly funny story lines that work because the writer really is a 6-year-old, and not a 30-year-old-pretending-to-be-6.

The appeal of the comic is not just from the (plentiful) non-sequiturs (one example Axe Cop needs help, and grabs the ultimate weapon, a baby with a unicorn horn!). Rather, the enjoyment comes from the constant reminders of what it was like to be young, to invent complex worlds where good and evil are pure opposites, where the good guys always win (and use cool gadgets and super powers along the way!)

Combine all that with the artwork and attention to detail that reminds me of the worlds explored by a different 6-year-old and his stuffed tiger, and you have an instant classic Axe Cop.
