C’est seulement une semaine après la publication des nouvelles séries Doctor Who chez Titan Comics que l’acteur Noel Clark (alias Mickey Smith) annonce la mise en chantier, chez le même éditeur, de son comics The Troop en collaboration avec le dessinateur Joshua Cassara.
D’après l’auteur, la série repoussera les limites d’une équipe de jeunes superhéros.
[quote]“As a teenager, when I was young, I always liked the teen teams …] but for me, they never really pushed the boundaries,” he said in a video played at Comic-Con International in San Diego, “they never really pushed the envelope, and with The Troop, that’s exactly what we’re going to do.”
Written by Clarke and illustrated by Joshua Cassara, The Troop is billed by Titan Comics as “an edgy soap opera of violence and superpowers.” Watch Clarke’s video, and check out a preview of the comic, below.[/quote]
