Quotes:

[first lines]
The Tick: The life of a superhero is a lonely one filled with hardship and danger. The few who answer the call leave comfort, safety, and sanity behind. Someone's gotta stand the heat and stay in the kitchen. Someone's gotta don the oven mitts of all that's right, and strangled the red-hot throat of all that's wrong. This is that someone's story.
