Provided the historic community funding of TI5, the final stretch goal of a longform comic for the big red man was easily achieved. Now the glory of Axe is upon us!! While we wait for the rest of the goal rewards (I'm looking at YOU Zeus remodel) let's enjoy a window into the man behind the dunk. On top of that, all TI5 compendium owners will receive an Axe Immortal Item. Will we see more Axe picks during the Fall Majors now that a fancy immortal is itching to see the spotlight? Only time will tell. We'll certainly see more Axe in pubs though.

Without giving away anything, the comic provides us a day-in-the-life of one of the most loved and hated heroes in dota. It's absolutely great to see a hero given a bit more voice and personality. We can only infer so much from the repeated lines of heroes while we smash at our keys. Some more lore for dota is good for both overall appeal and lasting interest. Having heroes be more than hotkeys and gold swings will give room for some long-lasting creative avenues in the future.




Do you think the comic brings Axe to life or does it miss the berserker's call?
