Originally published in 2006, Freshmen follows a group of socially awkward college students who survive a strange laboratory accident and emerge with superpowers inspired by whatever they were thinking about at the moment of the explosion. Equal parts superhero adventure, college comedy, and coming-of-age story, Freshmen explores what happens when ordinary young people are handed extraordinary abilities without the experience, maturity, or confidence to handle them.
Twenty years after its original debut, Freshmen returns at a time when audiences have embraced more grounded and character-driven superhero stories. The series combined humor, friendship, insecurity, and genuine emotional stakes with unconventional powers and large-scale comic-book action, offering an irreverent alternative to traditional capes-and-tights storytelling.
Headlining this Kickstarter campaign is the all-new Freshmen: 20th Anniversary Reunion Special, an original 32-page comic written by series creators Seth Green and Hugh Sterbakov with artwork by original series artist Leonard Kirk. Set during the classmates’ twentieth reunion, the story reunites the original cast as they reflect on adulthood, friendship, old romances, and one hilariously disastrous mission they never quite managed to forget. The new story is included in the collection and is also available as a standalone one-shot!
Freshmen: The Complete Collection includes:
- Freshmen, Vol. 1 – 6 issues
- Freshmen, Vol. 2: Fundamentals of Fear – 6 issues, plus the digital-exclusive Issue #1.5
- Freshmen Summer Vacation Special
- All-new, 32-page Freshmen: 20th Anniversary Reunion Special
- Plus bonus material previously printed in Freshmen Yearbook
