Yep, gross huh.
This actually wasn’t in the script, I just realized as I was drawing it that with meaty guts guy there the choice would be easy, but gross. Chop the dude, loosen the chain. I doubt you can even chop through a chain with an axe but we will pretend you can if it is a huge axe like that one and we’ll assume these chains are organic, made from hemp, purchased at Whole Foods and contain nothing harmful for the environment.
Part two of my interview at Flightpath is up. Other than that I don’t have a whole lot to say today. I have been working on the upcoming Bearmageddon pages. It’s funny how excited I get drawing these action sequences. I am working on the next sequence following this one and it’s intense. I get all excited the whole time I am laying out the pages and planning out the action. I hope they are this exciting to read. Tomorrow the Axe Cop Documentary is going to be at my apartment filming me working. I may have to pretend to be working on Axe Cop even though I am nips deep in Bearmageddon right now.

Love the donning of the goggles. Ew.
daang, ester was beat to his regular position of first… 🙂
Congratulations!
This is like watching an action movie and hitting pause every 30 seconds.
*like*
This page would probably be less than 10 seconds.
…for 4 days.
But totally worth the wait. I should just leave for a month and come back for a full 8 pages.
Writing and drawing it is like watching it load pixel by pixel for three years. Also, you should visit the site every day so my ad views are higher and I make more money! 🙂
I’ll just bring the page up every day and only look at the banner.
Will do!
I do anyways, just in case.
haha thanks y’all
Thanks for reminding me to disable AdBlockerPlus on this site.
That’s now done.
Good point!

“CHKLUMF” is a great sound. Thank you for pointing it out to me. I was going to say “introducing me to it” but I now realize that I’ve heard it before, I just didn’t realize it. Another great page!
Reminds me of some of Don Martin’s great sound effects for Mad Magazine, like KLXRUGDIOBHDFKBN and LKFJBFKAS.
CHKLUMF is easily the best SNIKT I’ve ever seen/heard.
They may have went for aluminium chains when they heard it’s made of recycled coke cans, and simply got the weakest grade and temper since it probably has the lowest carbon footprint… :)))
I just noticed … is the colorist’s name really “NOAH MAAS”, aka “no más”, Spanish for “no more”?
It really is my name, I swear! Maas comes from the Dutch/German name for the Meuse river. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meuse_(river)
I like to imagine that Joels RAAAH is very awkward and unsure sounding after listening to Dickinson’s
same here. The drawbacks of comics, you can’t hear those inflections so hopefully the drawing conveys it.
You could have put an “ahem” before it to show he was forcing it and not bringing it up from the soul like Killdeer’s RARR, or added a question mark to suggest his voice cracking.
Sorry, WAY too long spent studying Ben Oda. Sorry, Tom Orzechowski, I’m real happy for you, and Imina let you finish, but Ben Oda was the best comic book letterer of all time. OF ALL TIME.
Oh, BTW, should be “sac”, not “sack”, yeah? I cannot believe I wrote the word “sac”. Ew. Double ew. This comic rules.
haha I don’t know. Whatever Gogs is looking at looks like some kind of sack so I figure it works. It’s probably what I would say.
I desperately need Joel to close his mouth more, or avert his face or something. Chunks are going to fly and he is going to become an inadvertent cannibal! I can’t believe how wrapped up in this I am getting. Great Job!
So, is that guy rotting really fast?
he looks pretty fresh and juicy to me.
He just was completely and utterly idstroyed by the bear.
Ah.
I just hope Joel hit the right body…
I like how Gogs put his goggles on– to prepare himself for raining guts.
so fa that’s twice Gogs was in the midst of exposed entrails and put the goggles on. They are proving to come in handy.
Added to the apocalypse supply checklist: goggles, boltcutters.
…said Ethan, foreshadowing like a mofo
Obviously that guy could chop through chains because he’s a mighty woods woodsman.. regular joes couldn’t..
I love that the corpse is missing his sternum. the bear TORE IT OUT. Mmmm, sternum.
How else was it supposed to reach that sweet, sweet organ meat?
Let’s see . . . perhaps an arrow through the mouth, down the neck, and into the heart?
Dickinson Killdeer could chop through three layers of adamantium chains and an entire redwood treetrunk, with one single chop, because he is Dickinson Killdeer.
Joel? Not so impressive.
Joel Joel Joel. It doesn’t have a face ( or head or other upper extremities) anymore. It’s no longer a guy. Don’t go making it all personal.
Plus it was a hipster anyway… don’t worry about it
Has anyone seen the videos of the Alaskan brown bears?
http://www.adfg.alaska.gov/index.cfm?adfg=wildlifenews.view_article&articles_id=539
A bear went cannibal! I just hope that the bears continue to focus one each other so we don’t have a real bearmageddon situation.
chklumf reminds me of banes “tek” from knightfall
Top nine celebrity bear fights!
http://www.agonybooth.com/agonizer/top_9_celebrity_bear_fights.aspx
awesome!
nice bow technique, the power of the pull must be quite impressive to launch those small saplinglike arrows. Leftie huh? Bilateral? 🙂
I’m here on Monday and realized that I have to wait until Wednesday.
Sad face.
Loving this story so much, Ethan. Seriously good stuff.
Dude, I cannot believe that a co-creator of Axe Cop is doing the equivalent of a zombie movie… With mutated bears.
Did you get this idea from the ‘Moon Warriors get killed by the God of All Bears’ one shot story?
So we are waiting for the dashboard or masthead widget that counts human kills, and the other one that counts bear kills…what about the one that counts eviscerated headless hipster corpse kills?
