The Tick has been named the captain for the earth contingent in this intergalactic competition. Along with the Tick is his time-displaced teammates including Eli Whitney, George Washington Carver, Mrs. O'Leary's cow, a T-Rex, Nefertiti- OH!!! The T-Rex just ate the cow. It looks like Tick's team is going to be a man down during this competition!
I know that many consider Edlund's original series as the definitive Tick series and I would agree that it lays the foundation for a character so crazy, so insane that you can't help but laugh! But I think I like Karma Tornado a little better than the first series. The art is superior and the writing is brilliant.
The only thing missing is Arthur, Tick's sidekick. He balances Tick quite well. He's the Dean Martin to Tick's Jerry Lewis. The duo of Eli Whitney and George Washington Carver, who act as Tick's co-captains and scorekeepers are a good substitute for Arthur, but it's not the same.
Featuring an out-of-this-world cliffhanger that will leave you as breathless as the Tick.
Worth Consuming
Rating: 9 out of 10 stars.
