Axe Cop...The Movie!

Here's a fan film adaptation of the sensational webcomic (also, book comic) Axe Cop). Hopefully there will be more.

Fight The Foot

Here's a pretty nifty little fan-made film in which some gritty Foot Clan goons get the grit beat out of them by a gritty ninja turtle. Gritty.


I would love to see the Turtle franchise rebooted. The animated film, TMNT, that came out several years ago was a lackluster attempt. 2010's made-for-television flick, Turtles Forever, in which the modern turtles join forces with the 80's turtles and the black and white comic turtles, was actually quite entertaining though.

Axe Cop

I don't know how I've gone this long without discovering the remarkably charming and wacky web comic, Axe Cop. It is the creation of a six-year-old kid and his 29-year-old artist brother.

Axe Cop's origins are fairly humble: "One day at the scene of a fire, The Cop found the perfect fireman axe. That was the day he became Axe Cop."

It gets much crazier after that:

Cinco De Mayo

io9 recently posted their "ultimate guide to September's science fiction awesomeness". It just so happens to feature my cousin's new book that came out today!

Here's the cover:


Here's the premise:

"On May 5, in a flash of pain, every man, woman and child on the planet receives a second set of memories. A new name, a new language, a whole new life slips into their minds, along side their own.

In Chicago, a transit worker knows enough about the Aryan Brotherhood to mark him for death.

In Abu Dhabi, a playboy experiences modern day slavery.
In New York an advertising executive shares the memories of a blind railroad worker in China.

In this transparent world of instant intimacy, no one is left untouched..."

And here's a link to it on Amazon!

I look forward to reading it.
