Torrent, a young woman who can turn herself into water and travel via people's bladders! Hotshot, sex bomb and pyro-boy! Virus, a little girl who spreads disease like a plague louse! Super-heroes with very little that's super about them, they have been brought together by a mysterious billionaire who seems keen to protect them from an equally mysterious but far more lethal organization with big guns and cool suits.
In most comics there is an origin story of sort of how, and why the character(s) came to be. While that is common to happen in the first issue, this one takes place in the third issue of The Troop. At least some of it does, anyway, as the main characters learn “how,” and to a limited extent the “why,” they existent. Honestly, the series so far has been a a violent, super-powered thrill ride so far, and I doubt it will end soon. Read Full Review
The Troop #3 still struggles with the hard transitions. The tension and distrust among the team is delightful and creates a good amount of drama. It makes for a great story and allows Clarke to flex his writing muscles, putting different characters in tough situations. In addition, Clarke is able to provide a number of twists and turns with new characters. The artwork is absolutely fantastic from violent action sequences to strolls through a Brazilian favela. It is top notch. You need to be reading this book. Read Full Review
The series still needs to spend more time with the characters already introduced. Hell it needs to spend more time with the villains as well, but overall it's a great read. As long as it keeps up the quality, I'm not worried about this book. If the writing or art dips, it could be the end of it. But right now it's the only book about powered people hitting puberty that you should be reading about. Read Full Review
The sign of a good book is when you struggle to find anything bad to say about it, or do some very minor nitpicking. The Troop has genuinely been a great read through all 3 issues, solid writing and art, engaging characters and storylines, and although much has now been answered we know this world still has much more to show us, and that is why we will return for more.
