I Hope Super Best Friends Lasts Forever
Amiright, folks?
I may not be watching the DC Nation cartoon block like a good little geek, but I don’t miss a new episode of Super Best Friends Forever when they put it on Youtube soon after! And you shouldn’t either! This one is all about Supergirl fighting Superman! So you know it’s especially epic.
Because Super Best Friends Forever Continues to Be Awesome
Here is another teaser of the next mini-sode of Super Best Friends Forever, the amazingly adorable cartoon by Lauren Faust starring the cutest ever versions of Batgirl, Supergirl and Wonder Girl. This episode will air on Saturday, and no doubt I will post the full cartoon a few days later. But until then, enjoy this little tease!
Holy Avocado Soldiers! There Might Be an Axe Cop Cartoon!
This may be the greatest news in ax-wielding law enforcement animation since the ring fell off Chief Wiggum’s pudding cap. Insane-in-all-the-best-ways web comic Axe Cop has been optioned for an animated cartoon on FOX’s new Animation Domination HD Saturday night block. According to Deadline Hollywood, FOX has ordered six 15-minute episodes of the brilliant web series about an ax-wielding cop and his partner, who is sometimes either a flute cop, a dinosaur cop, a dinosaur soldier or an avocado soldier. It varies. The series is set to debut early next year. But you can spend the time waiting by reading the Axe Cop comic!

If you’ve never heard of Axe Cop, then shame on you. Click that link right now and go read this marvelously amazing series. It will rot your brain with its awesomeness and then rebuild your brain with even more awesomeness. I lack the literary skill to express in mere words the incredible brilliance of Axe Cop.
But here is a smidgen of its greatness as Axe Cop and Flute Cop fight dinosaurs in just the first strip!
Dinosaurs come up a lot - as does head-chopping
The genius of Axe Cop comes from the mind of 5-year-old Malachai Nicolle, or at least he was 5 when the comic started in 2010. Malachai’s 30-year-old brother Ethan was an artist, and he started drawing all the insane ideas that his brother could come up with. The comic is wildly out of control when it comes to ides. From the ever transmorphing sidekick to characters like the Unicorn Baby, the vampire/ninja/werewolf/wizard/shark/crab brother Moon Warriors to Sock-a-Rang!
Don't worry, he wasn't really evil. He was Dr. Stinky Head in disguise!
Seriously, if you’ve ever trusted me about anything, then take my word that this web comic has to be seen to be believed. You will not be disappointed. And if you are, then you and I have wildly conflicting senses of humor. Because I am in love with Axe Cop.
They also have a pet T-Rex with machine gun arms.
Because of course they do
New Brave Trailer Fills Me With a Little More Hope
I have not been blown away by the previews for the next Pixar film Brave. It looks a little too slapstick for my tastes, a little too zany. Plus all we’ve seen of the plot is the cliched story of a young girl in medieval times fighting against society’s expected role for her. But this trailer has a tiny bit more oomph to it, at least at the end. Nothing will win me over faster than a slow, melodic song filled with soul and destiny. But what do you guys think of Brave so far?
Beware the Batman Teaser
Because the universe will shrivel and die a cold death if there isn’t currently a Batman cartoon show on the air, here is our first teaser to Beware the Batman. It’s going to be a CGI show coming out sometime…who knows. I’m not very interested, because there’s no Robin, and Alfred is going to be packing heat. Me thinks the studio executives had a hand in creating this one. I suppose we’ll just add it to the pile of Batman: The Animated Series, The Batman and Batman: The Brave and the Bold.
