Vol 1: October 2005 – March 2006
What if a group of college freshmen suddenly got amazing superpowers? What if the powers were based on exactly what they were thinking at the moment? You’d get the Intoxicator, who burps at his foes to make them drunk. Or Quaker, the Amish kid who created earthquakes with his belly. You’d get a kid who can talk to plants-and is stalked by the plant who loves him. You’d get a fearless leader who desperately wants superpowers, but is left out of the bonanza. Co-created by Austin Powers and Buffy star Seth Green and written by newcomer Hugh Sterbakov, Freshmen is an uproarious combination of superpowers and college…with a talking beaver!
Vol 2: November 2006
The critically acclaimed hit is back with an all-new adventure that will quickly teach the Freshmen what’s at stake when you put on a costume! Wannabe, the powerless team leader who has always dreamed of being a superhero, is having visions of the eccentric Mr. Fiddlesticks, a character from a series of childrens’ books. But what does it mean? Is Mr. Fiddlesticks warning Norrin of danger, or bringing it himself? Also: How can Drama Twin Brady break away from his toxic romance with Renee? And will the drunken Intoxicator ever be able to pass a class? Co-created by Buffy and Italian Job star Seth Green and written by Mister Girth himself, Hugh Sterbakov, Freshmen II is an uproarious combination of superpowers and college – with a talking beaver!
