January 23, 2013: Set Your Calendars Now!

(Yes, I know you don't set a calendar. Work with me here.)

FOX has announced the date for the premiere of the animated Axe Cop series: July 27. Axe Cop himself will be voiced by Nick Offerman, from Parks & Recreation; other actors include Megan Mullaly, Patton Oswalt, and Peter Serafinowicz. Episodes will be 15 minutes long and will be part of FOX's new Saturday animation block.

Six months is a long time to wait, we know . . . may we suggest you pass the time with some rousing games of Munchkin Axe Cop?
