FRESHMEN #1

"Introduction to Super Powers 101" pt. 1 of 6
(W) Hugh Sterbakov (P) Leonard Kirk (Col) Tyson Wengler (Cov) Rodolfo Migliari, George P?rez, Joseph Michael Linsner
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-creat ed 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!
Full color 32 pages $2.99 part one of a six-part series

PANEL 1 - EXT. BOUGHL SCIENCE BUILDING - ESTABLISHING

The large, ultra-modern science building at the center of the Freese Campus. A sign on it should read BOUGHL SCIENCE BUILDING.

 

CAPTION

Boy, they know how to take your dignity away at college.  Real quick.

 

PANEL 2 - INT. SCIENCE CLASSROOM / GIRLS' DORM

An establishing shot of the girls' room, widescreen, with Annalee in the center, lying on her cot, writing in her diary. 

 

A converted classroom, with folded tables off to one side and very cheesy temporary furniture supplied for the girls.  There are five cots spread as far from each other as possible.

 

1 CAPTION

We were stuffed into a classroom in the science building.

 

2 CAPTION

Five girls in one room.  And we all might as well be from different universes.

 

PANEL 3 - ON PAULA (THE SEDUCTRESS)

She's arranging candles on a table next to her bed.  Several posters and cut-outs of male idols are above her bed, along with dozens of pictures cut into hearts, or connected by plus signs.  Her hair is in pigtails.

 

3 CAPTION

Paula Pophouse, from New Hampshire, defines the fan base of Us Magazine: She lives for soapy, lovestruck gossip.  Didn't exactly win the genetics lo ttery, though.  I think the bubbliness masks a very troubled girl.

 

PANEL 4 - ON RENEE (PULLER)

Renee, who we saw earlier arguing with Brady (they'll be the Drama Twins, she'll be Puller), is teasing her hair in a tacky mirror she must have put up.  Every outfit she wears is more tight and revealing, and she's always decked out in flashy jewelry.

 

4 CAPTION

Renee Bellochio, a Jersey Girl through and through, complete with teased hair and mad bling.  Yup, I just wrote "mad bling."  She nodded to me when she walked in. That must pass for validation in skankville.

 

PANEL 5 - ON CACOPHONY

Cacophony, who isn't a main character, sits on her cot with thick headphones and a keyboard.  She's a goth, her hair shaved on the sides and dyed black and purple.  Always glaring, and "Hello," "Awesome," "Good job" and "F-you" are all conveyed by the devil horns sign, which she's giving right now.

 

5 CAPTION

Then there's "Cacophony," or so she calls herself, who sits in the corner and glares.  And I mean glares.  She should be in the glaring Olympics.  Who can she hate that much?

 

6 CAPTION

One girl hasn't arrived yet.  I already like her best.
