Few superheroes are this gravelly-voiced, or this blue. The Tick is back, and creator Ben Edlund has placed Peter Serafinowicz in that distinctive blue suit. With the first batch of episodes arriving on Amazon Prime Video this week, we've got our hands on an exclusive new clip.
In this incarnation of the story, usual Tick sidekick Arthur Everest (here played by Griffin Newman) is convinced that his city is in the control of a global super villain everyone else believes to be dead. But what is a powerless accountant to do when all around him think he's crazy? He'll need the help of The Tick, a strange blue superhero who, when we meet him here, is suffering from memory loss issues.
Set in a world where superheroes are everywhere, Edlund's new Tick will hopefully bring back the same level of humour and lurking darkness we've come to love from the character. The likes of Jackie Earle Haley, Valorie Curry and Brendan Hines also appear.
Season 1 of The Tick will be released on Amazon Prime Video in two parts of 6 episodes each, with part 1 landing this Friday 25th August; part 2 coming along early 2018.
