Meet Axe Cop!!! Artist Ethan Nicolle (SLG’s Chumble Spuzz) was home visiting family and playing with his youngest brother, five year old Malachai, a game Malachai dubbed Axe Cop. They evolved a story for the game and Ethan couldn’t resist turning it into a webcomic -- and a rather cool one to, in that you can read it by looking at a traditional static picture or on the main page it moves with your cursor movements in a rather pleasing manner (much more satisfying and intuitive, I thought, than the regular scrolling up and down or left and right some webcomics require). Ethan intends to continue to get more story ideas from Malachai and turn them into strips -- what a lovely idea, Malachai obviously has a very cool big bro. Who knows, maybe in 15 years he’ll be writing adult comics too. On Comics Alliance Laura Hudson talks to both the brothers.
