Okay. Back in the 1980s, Ben Edlund created this character, and did a number of comic books about him, which as of now, I'm afraid I've never read, though I'd certainly like to, someday. Since then, other people have, I guess, done other Tick comic books, which I've also never read. However, in the 90s, there was an animated TV series based on the comics, which I really loved. Later, in 2001, there was a short-lived live-action TV series about the Tick, which was okay. But those two shows were pretty much the extent of my knowledge about the Tick, at the time this series started in December 2009. It's kinda nice to finally be reading some Tick comics, for the first time. Even if they're not by Edlund.

What to say? Of course, the main characters are the big, blue superhero known as the Tick, and his pudgy, moth-suited sidekick, Arthur. So far, the Tick himself seems to me pretty much the way I remember him from the cartoon, so that's cool. The general tone of the humor is pretty much what I'd expect, kind of wacky absurdism, or whatever. I like it. I also really like a character called Bumbling Bee. And, uh, that's all I can think to say. Except it seems that the series ended after only 8 issues, which is kind of a shame, but not too much of a shame.
