The Tick is returning to television (or streaming) thanks to Amazon, and things are looking weird as ever. I say weird in a good way as The Tick was one of the coolest “things” that happened during the 90s; Both the cartoon and live-action series.
Peter Serafinowicz looks much different than The Tick of old with his new textured suit, but that’s the entire point. Series creator Ben Edlund provided a statement along with these new photos:
“This has been a labor of love for Amazon, Sony, and all of us. The only way for this to have value was if we found a wholly new expression of ‘The Tick’ and Arthur’s story in live-action, and I think we’re on to something! Visually and thematically this new ‘Tick’ lives in the textures and rhetoric of today’s superhero saturation tsunami — and for it to be something you want to watch for hours, it needed to find its way to a story with heart and stakes, as well as absurdism. Is it a radically new hybrid of humor and super heroic action with characters you will care desperately about? YES! Yes it is.”
Check out the images below. The Tick premiere on August 19th on Amazon.
