The Punisher isn’t exactly the funniest hero ever to grace to pages of a comic book, but that could actually work in favor of hilarity for The Tick.
So the psychological underpinnings of the possibly insane Tick should mesh well with a character whose motivations couldn’t be more clear.
After all, the shenanigans of the Tick and his pal Arthur look goofy and over-the-top at times, but this new show will skew a little more dark and chaotic than either of the previous TV ventures.
Any Marvel fan will know that Ben Edlund is referring to Frank Castle, a.k.a. the Punisher, with his mention of a violent vigilante with a skull on his chest.
