Golden Axe (Comedy Central)
Posted: Thu Apr 18, 2024 8:22 am
Just saw this article come up in my news feed.

Since I don't play video games, I've never heard of Golden Axe. But it looks like a fun mashup of sword & sorcery tropes like Conan & He-Man,
and what drew my eye was the sexy form of Tyris Flare, a warrior and sorceress who looks a bit like Red Sonja.
This is coming out as a 10-episode animated series on Comedy Central, so maybe there's less chance that the current puritans of entertainment will try to cover Tyris Flare up or turn her manly like they did to Teela, because her skimpy outfit would make good 'comedy'. Hopefully that's a win. They don't have a release date for it yet, so I didn't put the year in the thread title yet.
Apparently, Golden Axe existed briefly in the UK-based comics of Sonic The Hedgehog (another Sega property) and also in a universe crossover of Sega and Capcom characters with Archie Comics.
If anyone read those comics, it's probably a longshot, but it seems more likely that someone on here did play the video game.
If so, do you remember Tyris Flare fondly (did she get into some peril?) and are you looking forward to the animated version?
(Would have been even better in live-action!)
Here's an artist rendition of the characters from the original Golden Axe game box, and also a rare Tyris Flare action figure from the 90s. Wish I could plunk down the $120 for that.
And....Tyris Flare is already tied up with rope within the first few pages of Sonic the Comic Issue 1, so that's a good sign.
(Golden Axe stories run in issues 1-6 and 13-18)
