NOEL CLARKE HAS ASSEMBLED…THE TROOP!
CREATOR-OWNED SUPERHERO MINI-SERIES FROM ACCLAIMED WRITER/DIRECTOR IS “THE GAME OF THRONES OF COMIC BOOKS”!
“FAN-BLOODY-TASTIC…I LOVED IT!” – MARK MILLAR
Titan Comics are thrilled to announce they are teaming-up with superstar writer/director/actor Noel Clarke (Mickey in Doctor Who, Star Trek Into Darkness, Kidulthood) for his creator-owned comic book debut, The Troop!

“This is the Game Of Thrones of comic books!” said writer Noel Clarke. “Taking teen teams where they should, but have never dared to go before! In life shit happens. People F-up in many different ways and have to deal with that. In this book they will, except you’ll see it in all it’s punch-to-the-face glory!”

Marc is a self-confessed nerd. Ever since seeing Star Wars for the first time around 1979 he’s been an unapologetic fan of the Wars and still believes, with Clone Wars and now Underworld, we are yet to see the best Star Wars. He’s a dad of two who now doesn’t have the time (or money) to collect the amount of toys, comics, movies and books he once did, much to the relief of his long-suffering wife. In the real world he’s a graphic designer. He started Following the Nerd because he was tired of searching a million sites every day for all the best news that he loves and decided to create one place where you can go to get the whole lot. Secretly he longs to be sitting in the cockpit of his YT-1300 Corellian Transport ship with his co-pilot Chewie, roaming the universe, waiting for his next big adventure, but feels just at home watching cartoons with his kids….
