The Chroma Tick #1
SCORE: 79
On one of our recent trips to a local comic book store I checked out
some of the older comics in the bins. Since the last comic around The
Tick was interesting I decided to check out The Chroma Tick #1 . This
comic book was done in color. I guess some people were not pleased with
that at the time. I personally like it much better than the black and
white version. This might be a personal preference though. There will be
spoilers in this review.
When The Chroma Tick #1 was sold initially it cost $3.95. I was able to
purchase The Chroma Tick #1 for four dollars. At the very least this
comic retained its value. There are thirty pages of comic book content
within The Chroma Tick #1. There are some advertisements within The
Chroma Tick #1 as well as some interviews. On top of that on the back of
the front cover the Editor explains why they did a color version of this
character.
The first thing that stuck out to me about The Chroma Tick #1 is the
humor. The Chroma Tick #1 is extremely funny. I was laughing at multiple
points while reading The Chroma Tick #1. The Tick is so clueless so much
of The Chroma Tick #1. He tries things like grabbing a flag pole while
falling down a building. He thinks he will spring back up. Or looking
through a viewfinder trying to find crime. There is no Arthur in The
Chroma Tick #1.
The Chroma Tick #1 does contain a bit of violence and some mild language
that could offend some families. There are also trading cards in the
middle of The Chroma Tick #1. They are pretty good condition too. I will
be leaving them right where they are and sealing the bag after this
review. The color looks great in The Chroma Tick #1. Some of the
conversations are really odd within The Chroma Tick #1.
At one point The Tick wakes up in a tunnel. A Superman like character
tries to save him in the tunnel. The Tick thinks he is inside a whale
and the Superman like character is a Digestive Enzyme. The two of them
tussle and train winds up hitting them. The Tick also looks for crime
early in The Chroma Tick #1 and does not notice it when he comes across
it. The Chroma Tick #1 is a special edition with forty pages in total.
