The Tick's impressive physique gets him discovered as the latest star of a 24-hour superhero channel on cable. But finding his niche might not be so easy as the Tick is no Christopher Reeve. Our intrepidly insane hero is run through the gambit of cable fodder starring in a medical soap opera, a news commentary show, and an X-Files type series in hopes of scoring big ratings. But through a comedy of errors and poor acting chops the Tick and a slew of media researchers might find their heads on the chopping block before this zany adventure is through.
Issue #8 was another Tick masterpiece. Sometimes the best issues don't have the heroes doing anything heroic but instead trying to live out their normal lives. This is one of those issues. A great parody of 90s cable TV, this was a very funny issue even though not every joke killed.
Worth Consuming
Rating: 9 out of 10 stars.
