No really, that company that promises women will fall all over you, ripping off clothing in the process, is making a graphic novel called Axe Anarchy, The Graphic Novel.
Don’t believe me?
Well good for them, right? Anything to bring new readers to the medium.

Looks classy.
I like some of the concepts going on here.
A comic created in real time, using the reader’s ideas and maybe starring the readers themselves?
Win!
I’m confused as to what “in real time” means. That’s a phrase usually reserved for shows or movies ike “24,” where every minute of entertainment represents an actual minute that character lives through. How does “real time” work with a creation of consumption of a comic book?
I’ll save them some time by traveling to the future and bringing back the most frequent comment:

It’s funny that Axe is the first company to put this concept forward. I think it’s got legs. The comic is going to be mediocre at best but the idea is pretty cool. I’m surprised at how nice the initial art looks too.
I’ve never liked Axe products…it turns out those commercials where slutty-looking angels fall out of the sky to sex you on the street are a bit misleading. That said, seeing the train wreck that a story written by the internet would be should be pretty amusing…
