Comics: Axe Cop. Best Comic Ever Created by a 5-Year-Old and his Adult Comic Artist Brother (Malachai & Ethan Nicolle)

Imagine a 29-year-old comic artist with a 5-year-old little brother.  Now imagine the 5-year-old has an incredibly wacky, fertile imagination - and that the big brother has the talent to make the little boy's insane stories come to life.  That's Axe Cop, the partnership of Malachai Nicolle (age 5 at the time the stories were first written) and his big brother Ethan, the artist.  It's available in print and online, and is worth checking out just to try to get your head around it.  Some of Axe Cop's adventures with characters like Dinosaur Soldier, Flute Cop, Uni-Baby, and Uni-Avocado Soldier have been cleverly converted to animations, complete with excellent theme songs. Episode 1, and in particular Episode 4, have got to be seen to be believed.
