Ben Edlund’s comedic spoof on the superhero genre The Tick is getting new life at the streaming service Amazon Prime.
The series, based on the 1986 comic by Edlund tells the story of nascent superhero The Tick and his sidekick former accountant Arthur. Together, both men try to save the city from threats either together or with the help of an equally absurd group of fellow superheroes who inhabit The City.
