History Webcomic / AxeCop

* XanatosRoulette: King Evilfastozon throws Uni-Baby at the Earth, certain that the Earthlings will fight her. [[http://axecop.com/index.php/acepisodes/read/episode_7/ Wait, What]]?

* AuthorAppeal: Malachai ''really'' likes using baby-related concepts. When asked about it, Ethan said he'd actually managed to talk him out of using them [[BeyondTheImpossible even more]]. There was also a period in which he was obsessed with [[LightIsNotGood rogue angels]] and fighting {{Satan}}.

* BeyondTheImpossible: The only limits are the limits of Malachai's imagination.

* EleventyZillion: The number ''a jillion'' comes up quite often. All we know is that it is over 4000. There's also "tyranotillion", the so-called highest number in the universe, and "quadzillion", [[BeyondTheImpossible which is even higher]].

* XanatosGambit: In episode 128, [[spoiler:it is revealed that the Siberian Witch Doctor Cats allowed themselves to get anticlimactically killed at the hands of the dogs last episode. They were resurrected as mummies and fatally poisoned Fwinky Dog in the dead of night as he went out on patrol on his own.]]

* HoYay: In one episode of ''Ask Axe Cop'', Axe Cop gets asked if he'd ever had a kid. He answered that, since he's his best friend, he'd turn Sockarang into a chick and have kids with him/her. This is either [[CrowningMomentOfFunny absolutely hilarious]] or [[HighOctaneNightmareFuel the stuff nightmares are made of]]. He does the same to AbrahamLincoln.

** [[http://axecop.com/index.php/acask/read/ask_axe_cop_42/ Ask Axe Cop #42]] seems to reference ''Webcomic/TheAdventuresOfDrMcninja''.

Axe Cop made its internet debut in January of 2010. Originally created just for a select group of family and friends, the Axe Cop comics comprised then 5-year-old Malachai's raw ideas, formatted and illustrated by 29-year-old Ethan. The first four episodes chronicled the adventures of the eponymous hero, starting from the moment he discovered the perfect fireman axe and following him as he quickly grew into a larger than life legend. The strips proved insanely popular, and it was not long until tales of a webcomic written by a 6-year-old and illustrated by a 29-year-old began to spill over on to the internet at large. So popular, in fact, that weeks after its debut, he began taking [[FourthWallMailSlot viewer questions for the side series "Ask Axe Cop"]] which introduced so many more insane concepts and characters that it has become as popular as the main comic, if not more so. Now, Axe Cop is to be published by DarkHorseComics, with a collection of most of the web material. A three-part miniseries in color, named ''Bad Guy Earth'', was released in March 2011 and features Axe Cop and Dinosaur Soldier fighting the regular police and the army, who are fed up with Axe Cop's extreme methods. And a crossover with (who else?) [[Webcomic/TheAdventuresOfDrMcNinja Dr. McNinja]] titled "Stolen Pizza, Stolen Lives" ended in August 2010. An Axe Cop-themed ''TabletopGame/{{Munchkin}}'' set is also [[http://www.sjgames.com/ill/a/2011-03-11 scheduled for a Q3 2011 release]].

** According to Ethan, Grey Diamond and Grey Stone are both derived from [[BenTen Grey Matter]].

** This all makes a lot more sense when you learn that Malachai is a big fan of ''BenTen''.

* {{World Of Badass}}
* {{World Of Chaos}}: And ''how''.

* EatsBabies: When AxeCop was a baby, he ate babies.

* FanDisillusionment: When Ethan Nicholle tweeted a picture of a wild-eyed terrorist caricture of the Prophet Mohammed on the official AxeCop twitter account, fan outcry led to him apologizing for using AxeCop as a soapbox, but not for the picture. On his personal twitter account he said "It's fascinating to see fans of Axe Cop stop reading when they find out I don't walk in lockstep with their way of thinking.".

* [[FunnyBackgroundEvent Funny Foreground Event]]: In ''AxeCop'' #6, when the animals get their horns. Ouch. Poor bird.

** Another one is his fondness for teams consisting of two brothers, probably because ''AxeCop'' started out as him playing with Ethan. Examples include Axe Cop and Flute Cop, the Moon Warriors, the Secret Agent Brothers, and the villainous Psychic Brothers in ''Bad Guy Earth''.

* {{Jerkass}}: AxeCop is mean to many people, [[spoiler:even his own brother]].

* SniperPistol: AxeCop overcomes the limited range of his shotgun by giving it an extending barrel, so he can shoot bad guys point blank in the head with a 12 gauge shotgun from sniping range.

* BusmansHoliday: Axe Cop spends his holidays sleeping, eating cake, and watching hundreds of recordings of him fighting bad guys to improve his fighting style yet further. Watching hundreds of recordings ''all at once'', that is.

[[http://www.axecop.com/ Axe Cop]] is a {{webcomic}} about a BeyondTheImpossible [[SuperCop police officer]] who uses his WeaponOfChoice to behead every evil he encounters while building an ever-expanding team of do-gooders. That in itself makes the comic notable enough, but there's another secret behind its success: although Axe Cop's adventures are brought to life by the trained hand of a professional comic book artist, the story and characters are directed completely by the overactive imagination of a ''7-year-old boy''.

* DroppedABridgetOnHim: Axe Cop was completely unaware that Abraham Lincoln was a man. Later subverted: He uses a unicorn horn to change Lincoln's gender.

* PerspectiveFlip: [[http://axecop.com/index.php/acask/read/ask_axe_cop_53/ Zombie Fishy Fish's favorite video game]] is ''[[PlantsVsZombies Zombies vs. Plants]]'', as rendered by the author of the original game himself.

** He's also worked zombies into quite a few recent stories, as a result of playing ''PlantsVsZombies'' on his brother's iPhone.

* FaceOfAThug: The good mermaids have evil-looking faces. [[spoiler:This oversight costs one of them her head when Axe Cop happens by their gathering. [[http://axecop.com/index.php/acask/read/ask_axe_cop_20/ Fortunately]], [[IGotBetter she gets better]]]].

* WhyDontYouJustShootHim: When [[spoiler:Uni-Man demands Dr. Stinky Head to return his horn]], Axe Cop saws the three horns off Dr. Stinky Head's forehead with the gold-bladed chainsaw instead of doing what he does best.
** [[WordOfDante Ethan]] suggests that cutting someone's head off disables any unicorn horns on it.

* DieHardOnAnX: In the book, Ethan describes the Baby Man sublot in the Ultimate Battle arc as "''Die Hard'' in a baby suit".

* NotSoFastBucko: [[spoiler:[[HeelFaceTurn After all of the zombies were converted and promoted to cops]], [[GiantSpaceFleaFromNowhere the ground crumbles]] and reveals [[FinalBoss the boss of the zombies]]: [[http://axecop.com/index.php/acepisodes/read/episode_41/ a giant robot zombie]]]]. Axe Cop seems to be expecting it.

** Dinosaurs (specifically, T-Rexes), but Dinosaur Soldier is often transformed into whatever Malachai fancies, his most recent incarnation being Viking Cop.
