Top Cow Productions is reuniting with co-creators Seth Green and Hugh
Sterbakov for a new Freshmen comic series in November, 2006. The
six-issue series will hit stores as the highly anticipated sequel to
Freshmen, Top Cow’s 2005 smash hit about a group of incoming college
freshmen who acquire amazing-and sometimes hilarious-superpowers. Art chores on
the new series will be handled by Will Conrad (Buffy, The Vampire
Slayer). Uproarious humor will still be the order of the day in Freshmen
II: Fundamentals of Fear, but new elements will be introduced as
well.

“Freshmen II is going to be darker and scarier than our first
series. We have a great new villain in Mr. Fiddlesticks, a character from a
series of childrens’ books, who is haunting our heroes, and a couple new
romances to stir things up,” said series writer Hugh Sterbakov.
“There’s a great twisting mystery at the heart of this series, which will
further explore some of the threads we set-up in the original, like Annalee’s
father’s interest in the Ax-Cell-Erator, the device that created our team. Also,
some characters who were in the background of the original series come to the
fore, like the Green Thumb and the Drama Twins. I looked to one of my favorite
sequels of all time, The Empire Strikes Back, for inspiration, and
Rodolfo Migliari’s fantastic cover reflects the direction of the next series
perfectly. I can’t wait for November!”
