Axe Cop is action-packed hilarity; plus more comic book reviews

Some quick looks at comic-books read recently:

Axe Cop: Bad Guy Earth #1

You absolutely need to buy this one.  Written by a six-year-old and drawn by his 30 year old brother, “Axe Cop” features, perhaps obviously, an axe-wielding police officer who fights dinosaurs with machine guns for arms, alien invasions, and about anything else he might encounter.  It’s hilarious and awesome.

5 Ronin #1

Kyle loved this one, but I didn’t totally follow it – though I think part of my problem was thinking it was going to tie into the regular Marvel universe.   Written by Peter Milligan with art by Tomm Coker, this issue details the character Wolverine as if he had existed in samurai-era Japan.

Avengers Academy #10
Continues to be a really good “Avengers” title with a mix of the classic characters and the new trainees.   Here, we get some insight on what Speedball has been going through since inadvertently setting off the superhero Civil War.  Christos Gage writes and Sean Chen draws; with major “Avengers”-related plot elements in this issue, you shouldn’t be skipping this series.

Captain America and Falcon (One-Shot)
Though titled “Captain America and Falcon,” it’s mostly Falcon, but that’s OK, because the winged hero deserves to get the spotlight once in a while.  Rob Williams writes; Rebekah Isaacs draws.  I maintain she’s going to be a star someday, so the issue is worth picking up to be in on her early work.

Wulf #1
Based on the short-lived Atlas/Seaboard line of the 1970s, “Wulf” is reinvented by Steve Niles and Nat Jones for this new line.     Wulf is a Conan-type barbarian protecting his world from the very dark and creepy villain
