Best known for his role as Mickey Smith on Doctor who, actor Noel Clarke is making the leap to comics with a series from Titan called The Troop.

"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.
