Amid the glut of superhero films hitting theaters from both Marvel and DC, not to mention each studio’s numerous television productions, is there room for something like Amazon’s new series “The Tick?”
According to character creator and series executive producer Ben Edlund, a show like “The Tick” is more appropriate now than ever, thanks in part to this superhero saturation.
“The Tick” has hit the small screen twice before: first in a three-season animated series starting in 1994, and then in a short-lived but beloved live-action show in 2001 starring Patrick Warburton. However, Edlund feels like audiences (and of course Amazon and Sony, the studios backing it) are ready again.
