I'm putting together a series of plots for a paper I'm writing and they're not coming out quite right. Here is an example of one of them:

Plot3D[
   Sqrt[kx^2 + ky^2], {kx, -Pi, Pi}, {ky, -Pi, Pi}, 
   ImageSize -> 10*(72/2.54),
   ViewPoint -> {10, 10, 1}*100,
   ViewVertical -> {0, 0, 100}, 
   LabelStyle -> {Black, FontFamily -> "Times"},
   BoxRatios -> {1, 1, 0.75}, 
   PlotStyle -> {Directive[Green, Opacity[0.9]]},
   Mesh -> None,
   AxesEdge -> {{+1, -1}, {1, -1}, {-1, 1}},
   PlotPoints -> 100, 
   AxesLabel -> {Subscript[k, x], Subscript[k, y], Style["z", Italic]}
]

If you put this into Mathematica, you'll see that the tick marks of the "kx" look pretty good, but those of the "ky" axis are parallel to the horizontal plane which makes them hard to see. If they were vertical like "kx" it would look much better, but I'm not sure how to change that.

It seems like the program just chooses the orientation of the ticks automatically.

Is there some command that allows me to choose the orientation by hand?
