The Tick - On Amazon

I've loved every iteration of THE TICK, from the comic-book, to the animated series, to the first live-action show, to now the recent Amazon Prime series. While certain things change - such as tone and gore - certain things stay the same. One of those constants is The Tick's lack of backstory - save that he came from a mental institution.

However, according to creator (and show's producer) Ben Edlund, in an interview with Birth.Movies.Death, that might change. Here's what Edlund had to say:


Huh. Well, I for one am glad there's a definitive end, especially with the way The Terror has been set up as the big bad. I also find it interesting that there's a hint we might get a backstory to The Tick - which I'm more wary of. However, like I said, I loved the pilot and first season, and trust what Edlund has in mind for the character. Looking forward to more. SPOOOOOON!!!!
