Freshmen fans ahoy! I’m happy to say we’ll be back this summer with a couple great new projects!
First, and most exciting, we’re doing a special one-shot chronicling the kids’ summer vacation. It’ll be called (of course) the Freshmen Summer Vacation Special, and it features a return from the dead of a very important woman in the Freshmen universe. No-- it’s not who you’re thinking...
We’ve also got our very first hardcover coming, which will include the entire first mini-series, and some other swag, including a new T-shirt and some other goodies. There’s that bust we’ve been threatening to do for a couple years, dunno what happened to that. Anyways...
There’s also a lot of behind-the-scenes Freshmen goodness happening even as I type, so stay tuned if you’re so inclined. Hope to see you all at San Diego!
Oh, and check out our most recent podcast, announcing the Summer Vacation Special, at

Relive college memories with the Freshmen, collected for the first time in this deluxe hardcover edition!
Co-created by writer/producer/actor Seth Green (Robot Chicken, Family Guy) and Hugh Sterbakov, Freshmen Vol. 1: Introduction to Superpowers details the fantastic adventures of 14 members of the Freese College freshmen class, who have all been imbued with miraculous superpowers by the explosion of a mysterious device called the Ax-Cell-Erator!
With powers based on whatever they were thinking at that pivotal moment, some of the kids are blessed with fantastic abilities, like the power to seduce others, or tandem telekinesis. But others are cursed: A die-hard vegan can communicate with plants and vegetables, leaving him nothing to eat. A math whiz must become drunk or stoned in order to inebriate his enemies.
