Gorillaz have well and truly reactivated, with an invigorated web presence, a new album in the works, and quite possibly a tour on the way. But what’s been happening with the members of our favourite digital band since 2010’s Plastic Beach?

The mystery has been revealed for at least one of the Gorillaz crew, Noodle. The band have taken to Twitter to share pages from The Book of Noodle, which fills in the blanks on the character’s story arc since Plastic Beach.

The animated online comic book takes place just days after “the attack on Plastic Beach”, with Noodle popping up in a Japanese fishing town where she ultimately unleashed a shape-shifting demon “of unimaginable evil”, subsequently seeking to destroy it.

You can check out the first five parts of The Book of Noodle below or head on over to the official Gorillaz Twitter channel to read the rest of it and keep an eye out for anymore instalments Jamie Hewlett and Damon Albarn feel like unleashing on us.

As we previously reported, after years of ‘Will they or won’t they?’ rumours, Gorillaz finally confirmed earlier this year that they are getting to work on the eagerly anticipated follow-up to the project’s 2011 album, The Fall.

The brainchild of Blur frontman Damon Albarn and cult comic book legend Jamie Hewlett, the iconic project was a phenomenon when they first exploded onto the scene with singles like ‘Clint Eastwood’ and ’Tomorrow Comes Today′.

Now it seems we’ll get to witness the continued evolution of everybody’s favourite digital band in 2016. Albarn recently told BBC 6 Radio that the next Gorillaz album should be ready “fairly soon”.
