The Last Time Someone Stroked Argentina Like That, Madonna Made a Movie About It

Here's some straight skinny on the new HTG TV series for next session, brought to us by Ritchie Steven himself:

The new series is being penned by Lucian. It adapts the original comic series. The Tick was originally created by Ben Edlund.

The Tick's superpowers are nigh-invulnerability, which allows him to crash and bang about without injury (though not necessarily without pain); super strength (he can bend a steel girder with ease); and something referred to as "drama power," or basically a tendency for the Tick's powers to increase as the situation becomes more dramatic. He can also survive out in space without a suit and underwater without oxygen for a long time.

The Tick – Patrick Warburton
Arthur – John Hodgman
