A US senator hell-bent on becoming president targets the Tick and Arthur as the cause of all of American Society's problems. This causes the duo to become pariahs in the media. Fed-up with being accused of being a bad guy, Mr. Tick goes to Washington to set the record straight. But will a secret society and one giant ape stop the Tick before he can restore his good name?
This wasn't my favorite story in terms of Karma Tornado and Tick stories in general. There were some funny moments, but I just don't consider this one of the classic Tick stories. That's saying something when I have major plot issues with a story and find it superior to an otherwise flawlessly crafted tale (See Karma Tornado #5.)
Maybe Tick does better with a bizarre foe as opposed to a run of the mill greedy senator. Maybe unlike a good DC Comics title (edited by Julius Schwartz), apes don't 'sell' Tick comics. I'm not sure what it is, but something was off with this issue.
Rating: 6 out of 10 stars.
