Overview: An Introduction to Freshmen
Freshmen is a six-issue limited series from Top Cow Productions. Co-created by Seth Green and Hugh Sterbakov, written by Hugh Sterbakov, drawn by Leonard Kirk, with covers by Rodolfo Migliari. This is a comedy superhero comic-- imagine "American Pie" meets "X-Men." Freshmen is available in comic book stores nationwide, or by mail order at Top Cow Productions. The trade paperback collecting the entire series is available at bookstores and comic book stores everywhere.
Cast out of the main dorms and forced to live in temporary housing in the Boughl Science Building, the freshmen class of Freese College is imbued with miraculous super powers by the explosion of a mysterious device called the Ax-Cell-Erator!
Forced to live with strangers--and then become a superhero team with them--our band of misfits and miscues must quickly learn to live with their powers and each other, because their rivals, the relentless, heartless Frat Guys, seem to have gone through some changes of their own...

The Green Thumb - Charles Levy, our resident plant whisperer!
Quaker - Liam Adams, the Amish boy who can cause earthquakes by shuffling his belly!
The Drama Twins - Renee and Brady, bickering exes who must be in contact to use their telekinesis!
The Beaver - The school mascot who has been imbued with quantum-busting intelligence, and a snooty British accent! Too bad he can't concentrate on anything but building dams!
