The Tick
The Tick; Arthur; Mystic Order of Arachnid Vigilance Members; Chainsaw Vigilante; Civic-Minded Five [Oddman; Mr. Envelope; Feral Boy; Radio King]
The Tick and Arthur prepare to leave The City but are accosted by the Tick's fellow escaped insane asylum inmates who have come to worship him. Arthur drives and the Tick navigates as the duo head for New York but our hero has a little trouble with the map (starting with the fact that it is a 1959 edition). After countless miles of driving all over creation, Arthur insists that they do the unthinkable--ask for directions. The Chainsaw Vigilante cuts his way through the rest of the Civic-Minded Five and sets his sights on the Tick and Arthur.
