    Comic Bastards - Neil Rodriguez Jun 19, 2014

    Ethan Nicolle's artwork in this book is simply great and it goes hand in hand with the great story telling that this book offers. The artwork is fluid and very good consistent with some great coloring that is bright and full of detail. I love the cartoony type style that the book carries because like I mentioned before it really goes hand in hand with all the craziness that the book throws at you. Overall, issue two of Axe Cop was just as good as issue one, and it puts the petal to the metal to all the craziness that occurs in the book. I can't wait for the last issue. Read Full Review

    We The Nerdy - Kierra Prince Jun 18, 2014

    While the first issue got a little lost among characters and new plot points, issue #2 took what the first set up and blew away every expectation I had. They wasted no time in getting straight to the action and furthering the plot. As always though, the heart of Axe Cop are the completely ridiculous details and small twists that you won't find in any other comic. Axe Cop's van mural, a spy goat, and the final panel are among my highlights and I found myself laughing so hard I ended up crying multiple times. I really, really don't want to ruin a single part of this issue as the story gets taken to place of your wildest dreams. And your wildest dreams still probably aren't as wild as this issue. I'm actually laughing as I reminisce about this issueand I'm pretty sure I'm getting that van mural tattooed on my body. That image changed my life. Read Full Review

    I don't know if this is the first time anyone has written down what a little boy's imagination can do. I doubt it. The fact that this series continues to grow and evolve with Malachai Nicolle's creativity is a testament to how much talent in this family tree. This feels like a world someone else utterly fun like The Tick or The Goon should appear in. Baring that team-up in the future, there is plenty of fun and action to be enjoyed in this series. Pick it up and find out why Axe Cop is so much cool. Read Full Review

    IGN - Jesse Schedeen Jun 19, 2014

    It's all typically hilarious Axe Cop fun. However, this issue does get a little wonky towards the end as the Nicolle brothers introduce and seemingly abandon a big plot twist. Read Full Review

    The Weekly Crisis - CeeJay Jun 19, 2014

    Ethan Nicolle's world, crafted in part by his 10-year-old son and co-writer Malachi, is funny and imaginative but it's a bit of a stretch for 30 pages. The art is consistent and in line with the animated series there's just not much there for the uninitiated. However, I did get a good chuckle out of the line, "Spoiler Alert: You're all going to die." Read Full Review

    Front Towards Gamer - Lido Jun 19, 2014

    It might just be that I've been spoiled now by an Axe Cop that comes with awareness of the horrible actions of its protagonist and a willingness to accept that a lot of what it's presenting is at the very least questionable but I was honestly a little disappointed by this issue of Axe Cop. Though still enjoyable the novelty of the randomness is definitely wearing off and the empty center of the series becomes all the more apparent, pick it up if you've got a younger kid or are a completion-ist for the character but otherwise I'd skip this one.
