| Axx soon became one of Brainwave’s most popular films. It follows
the fantastic adventures of a covert superhero team battling the evil Ming. For the first
(and last) time in Brainwave’s history the idea for the story was not original but
was adapted from a comic book by Abdullah Riaz, and although the plot was altered beyond
recognition, many of the original dialogue remains intact. Brainwave opted for Axx because
of it’s well defined central characters, martial arts action and potential for comedy
and sex. To avoid confusion, Riaz gave an extensive history of the team on page one of
issue one. Their individual skills, although well suited to the comic book format, were
changed to better accent the power of cinema. Axx- The comic book. Axx started life as a low print run independent comic book. Drawing inspiration from many ‘Image’ comics, Riaz produced a slick, fast paced adventure with hyper-kinetic artwork and special poster inserts.Axx dealt with the themes of revenge, hatred, love and punching. Ever the innovator, Riaz re-defined the team for issue two. Only William Tagg remained from the original group, aided this time by Stone, Chung, Agent Fanny and Omen (with whom Fanny once had casual sex).
