Karma Tornado was a series created to bridge the gap between issues 12 and the long-delayed 13th issue of the original Tick series by creator Ben Edlund. These stories may or may not be canon. In fact, they might even exist in an alternate reality than Edlund's first series.
In issue #1 the Tick is plucked from the timeline by a powerful extraterrestrial race of beings. These aliens seek to pit different races and beings against each other in a contest of might, skill, and rhythm (see the Salsa Competition scheduled for day two of the intergalactic competition.)
The winning team will grant their species a special gift that will advanced their societies evolution for the better. But in order to not make the other species jealous or the winner seem all superior, the winner's won't be announced nor will they know just what said prize is.
This is masterful Tick insanity at it's best folks. The art was great, but it was the zany story and tons of odd and whimsical characters that made this opening chapter so good. If the rest of the series continues on this path, I'm in for a really awesome treat.
Worth Consuming
Rating: 10 out of 10 stars.
