Reviews

[Adam Graham · Rating 4 out of 5]

Tick Omnibus Volume 5 features, "The Crisis on Finite Tick Spin-offs" and collects the final two issues of Tick spin-offs Paul the Samurai and Man-eating Cow guest starring the Tick and a whole lot of other heroes and villains from the TIck Comics as well as the spin-offs. Overall, this was a very fun and satisfying volume. I never read Man-eating Cow but having read all the Paul stories, I enjoyed this and found it a satisfactory conclusion to the series. It's a pitch perfect parody as the book manages to feature everything from heroes misunderstanding and fighting each other, the introduction of technology for plot convenience purposes, and a hero turning evil for a time. Clay Griffith did a good job capturing the essence of the Tick, though I think this book have used a little more Arthur. Overall, I thought this was a fun adventure, though I recommend reading at least the early Paul the Samurai books to really get the best enjoyment out of it.
