Trivia

 * Axel is one of the two characters in the whole The Walking Dead franchise to have a catchphrase, other being Norma Sutters.
 * Robert Kirkman stated, "Axel saying "You follow me" is a personality tick, something he's done for as long as he's been in the book.
 * Axel is one of the few characters Robert Kirkman misses and regrets killing.
 * Creator Robert Kirkman wrote:
 * "I wanted Axel's death to be pretty abrupt and final... like things would be in real life. No speech, no moment of heroism or sacrifice ...just a sound and a fallen body. Probably didn't live up to what you wanted but most deaths wouldn't in real life. Not many people really get to go out in a grand style."
