Sorry for a slightly late post today but better late than never! Noah was sick and there was a mix up with the page upload. Feel better Noah!
If you don’t follow Axe Cop, please check out my new project. I just launched a new storyline at axecop.com called Axe Cop Gets Married. As many of you know, I am engaged to be married in May. While I have had a lot of critical success this year, the financial success hasn’t quite caught up and I am trying to find a way to pay for a wedding on top of a number of other expenses I have, mostly that involve owning trademarks, paying taxes and paying my website bill! I want this wedding to be a gift to my fiance Jessica and I do not want to go into debt for it and make it anothe financial burden to deal with in marriage. So, I am doing something similar to a Kickstarter over at www.AxeCopWedding.com. This is not just for Axe Cop fans, but any fan of my work. If you check out the “registry” page, you can buy Axe Cop a wedding gift and in return you get all sorts of cool stuff like prints, commissions, and an exclusive sketchbook:
The sketchbook will have some Bearmageddon art in it as well as Axe Cop art and other stuff I have worked on. The more people buy it, the more pages I will put in it. You can even pay to request a sketch to be published in the book. You get the original sketch and a copy of the book with your sketch in it! Check it out. Each “gift” is like a Kickstarter tier. You can also creat your own combinations under mix/match. If you have a web comic or anything you want to promote, you can buy banner space on the front page. Also, if you want to do something unique, just email and let me know what you are looking for and we can discuss a price.
Also, tomorrow night from 6 to 8 pacific time i will be on the Jace Hall show on 1337 Lounge live. This is a live, interactive show where you can ask questions while I am being interviewed. It should be a lot of fun!
Thanks for being a continually supportive audience, I always look forward to the next post!

I thought that guy was named “Gus” or something?
I didn’t think that he had a name. That was what made me think he was the first to die.
His name is Burton, they just have only used it once or twice. Same with Keller, the vegan.
Oh right, I guess Gus was one of the guys who died in the forest.
Poor Burton. He’s not dead yet, as of this panel, though!
I remember shooting this scene with Burton. He’s a good guy. Good in the sense that he tasted of some great spices on the inside.
God, the crazed look in that bear’s eye.
Out of all the characters, I wasn’t expecting Burton to go first. True, he was little more than a stoner, but he provided a lot of humor. Still, he might not die, maybe he’ll just lose a limb or something…
Or a stomach?
Don’t you die on me!
hehe, you’re next, Nigel! 😀
Burton’s a goner– but Nigel is too much of a source of conflict to die so soon. Will he wise up, or will he remain a callous jerk until he earns some glorious comeuppance? I want to know!
My vote is for “glorious comeuppance” on the scale of ‘And you shall have your golden crown, a crown for a King!’
I hope Gogs really does get to punch out a bear.
Here are my predictions for what will happen:
Either Dickinson or Joel’s father will die. (More likely Dickinson). Because these two are the masters/ protectors of Joel’s world, at least one of them will die to raise the stakes and show that Joel is fine on his own (although this will be later in the story). Obi-Wan, Snape, Gandalf the Grey, the list goes on…
Louie will be put in danger, but Joel will save him.
Nigel will not die. He will learn a lesson and we will learn to like him.
Gogs will not die. He’s Joel’s best friend.
Joel will not die. He’s the main character!
Large vegan woman will die. Hopefully she’ll get some character development, or at least a name, before then.
Andrea might die. She’s the love interest, yes, but that’s why it would keep us on our toes if she died (like Rachel in The Dark Knight). I give her a 60% chance of living.
I second all of your predictions. Dickinson is doomed for the reasons you listed. His “migraines” don’t bode well either.
I’m not so sure Nigel will live though. I think there’s a 50% chance he’ll bite the dust in some poignant way.
Yeah, he could be the Boromir of this story. Starts as an ass, then is redeemed, then gets shanked.
Edit: Just re-read the comic and realized the large vegan woman’s name is Keller.
You kill Burton!!! Why? You’re such a monster… Yeah, I’m talking with a fictitious bear.
First time I comment here, BTW. I am from Spain and I discover this great comic thanks to Munchkin Apocalypse. You are doing a fantastic work, keep with it! But faster, I burst in desires to have a complete printed version.
Is….is that a Scout neckerchief slide I see? I do believe it IS.
Sir, as a Scout, I salute you for including that.
Indeed! i think he was either a scout master/leader on a campin trip gone wrong. or an old Webelos scout that got lost and grew up in da forrest!
maybe he even had something to do with the cause of the change on the bears!
The bear looks so confused as it bites Burton.
He’s probably getting a contact high just by eating him
Congratulations on your upcoming marriage, and best of luck to Noah! The facial expressions in this page are awesome, bears included. I will always be a bearmageddon fan!
heh, now that bear is going to spend the rest of the comic laying on the couch giggling and talking about how huge its paws are…
I love the idea of a high bear!
+1
And so Nigel’s incompetence and general asshattery claims its first victim. Let’s see if blood on his hands will shut him up for a while.
Now that bear will get high on him. 🙂
It’s cool that you’ve taken the plunge in killing one of your initial main characters, never an easy thing to do to one of your ‘babies’. Shows they are just as mortal as any of the voiceless bear fodder we’ve seen, I fear that much more for them now it’s been proven!
Also congrats on the wedding Ethan, already put my gift in the registry 😀
Thanks so much Stu!
These bears are apparently taking tips from The Walking Dead…
Prediction: Dickinson’s migraines are tied to “Teddy’s” communication with the bear army.
Prediction: Gogs will, at some point, punch a bear through their skull.
Prediction: Joel will become the John Connor of the human resistance. Dickinson is more like Reese, in that he will train Joel quite a bit before he finally dies. Think Obi-Wan.
Prediction: Joel’s dad will ,regrettably, die.
That’s all I got.
so my guess is that when then jump in the water there will be octobears and shark bears awaiting to kill someone so nigel has amo against killdear to not be blamed for the death of his friends
Oh god not Burton! That bear is going to be tripping cartoons after this.
Remember when this came out every Wednesday and Friday on time?
yeah those were the days. This comic is a lot of work and it is not a money maker for any of us, so we do our best with what we’ve got. Hopefully the page is here soon, Noah got behind on it.
Mr. Nicolle, this is the internet! Calm, humble responses to trolls SHALL NOT be permitted! Please correct this error and replace your comment with something more inflammatory forthwith.
Maybe a bear is attacking Noah now.
That last panel is just buuu-ta-ful!
