Axe Cop, Volume 1, by Malachai and Ethan Nicolle

Axe Cop, Volume 1, by Malachai Nicolle and Ethan Nicolle, 144 pages

Here's the premise: Axe Cop is a super awesome cop who uses an axe to kill bad guys and has a partner named Flute Cop (who at various points becomes Ghost Cop, Dinosaur Soldier, Avocado Soldier, and more) to battle such enemies as Pretzel Head, or Vampire Man Baby Kid (among many others).  If it sounds absolutely ridiculous, that is because it is.  All of the story lines were created by Malachai Nicolle, the 5 year old brother of the artist, Ethan Nicolle.  The story lines are all about 'killing bad guys,' turning dinosaurs into pets with machine guns for arms, and fantastic fight scenes that made me laugh out loud.  On the internet, I know this is popular for alot of adults, but it is so non-graphic that I think young people, especially reluctant male readers, would really get a kick out of this.
