Amazon will again be setting up an outside activation along the Martin Luther King Jr. Promenade, at the corner of 1st and J Street. This year, Amazon brings a Tick Takeover offsite during Comic-Con which will welcome “Citizens” into rooms from the series and also include a twenty-foot tall, controllable Tick head.
Citizens will be asked to help the show’s two main protagonists, Arthur and The Tick, take down a group of evil-doers and prove that they too can be heroes. This multi-room experience will take place in four locations essential to the series storyline – Goat’s Deli, Arthur’s Apartment, The Warehouse, and The City Police Station.
There will also be an Amazon Prime Member Lounge, where Citizens will have the chance to relax and experience Amazon Prime benefits as they stream the pilot episode of the The Tick.
Also during Comic-Con, keep an eye out for the Team Tick street team. Need help with that selfie? Have a painful blister? Have no fear… Team Tick is here! In true Tick form, Team Tick will be taking to the streets of San Diego helping the helpless and defending the defenseless. Citizens seeking assistance from the street team need only flag down a member of Team Tick, adorned with blue antenna, to get help for their distress.
The Tick Takeover will be open to the public on the following days and times:
- Thursday, July 21: 9:00 AM–6:00 PM
- Friday, July 22: 9:00 AM–6:00 PM
