First Images of Amazon’s ‘The Tick’ Feature Peter Serafinowicz in a Revealing Blue Suit!! Check Them Out!!

The first images for Amazon’s comedy pilot The Tick, which reboots the live-action adventures of Ben Edlund’s comic of the same name, are here … and they are something. We’ve got a full shot of Peter Serafinowicz – knees to antennae – in the title role and a familiar blue costume, however it’s quite a bit different from the shiny muscle suit Patrick Warburton made famous in the previous live-action iteration. There’s also a shot of Whoopi Goldberg interviewing Brendan Hines’character, Superian. I’d say more, but I think it’s best left to your eyes to judge this first look.

The Tick will debut on Amazon on August 19th as part of their comedy pilot season; the pilots will be available to view by Amazon customers, who can then vote on which pilots will move forward to become an Amazon Original Series available to Amazon Prime subscribers. Other pilots include I Love Dick, starring Kevin Bacon, and Jean-Claude Van Johnson, starring who else but Jean-Claude Van Damme.

Here’s the official synopsis for Amazon’s The Tick:
