Axe Cop is a comic created by two brothers, Ethan is the artist and Malachai is the writer at only 5 years old (now 8). The comic is very over the top which the style of the illustrations need to show, every is made very large (such as weapons) and done in a very humorous style. The comic was originally printed in black and white before moving onto colour. The style of the comics are very "childish" and clean rather than sketchy and hand-drawn which fits in with the child's imagination from which the stories are from.
After Axe Cop moved over to colour, it became a lot more bold and he made use of a lot of different colours. It made the large sections of the comics look far better and gave a lot more depth to the whole over the top style that it was going for. He is not afraid to use different colours and does not really stick to a specific type of colour but will use any colour that he feels would suit the panel the best during that time. The style of the comic really captures the randomness of the storyline, as it is written by a 5 year old, the ideas that he comes up with needs to be captured well and the artist draws exactly would it would look like to child's imagination.
