Axe Cop, the acclaimed comic created by then-five-year-old writer Malachai Nicolle and drawn by his cartoonist older brother, Ethan, is getting an animated adaptation for Fox's upcoming Animation Domination HD late-night cartoon block.

Unfortunately, Malachai hasn't been tapped to write, so we can only hope that the show is based on his comic scripts, or at least retains their pure sense of what makes an awesome story (to wit: a badass cop with an axe fighting dinosaurs).

Axe Cop will air late-night on Saturdays, and could debut as soon as 2013.
