Pusher

Pusher burst onto the Modern Age scene in 2005, debuting in the preview issue of Image Comics' Freshmen — a series that brought a fresh, irreverent energy to superhero storytelling. Created by Hugh Sterbakov and Leonard Kirk, this character navigates a world shared with a colorful cast including Renee Bellochio, Brady Lee, The Beaver, Puppeteer, and Annalee Rogers, making Freshmen one of the more distinctive ensemble books of its mid-2000s moment. Across Freshmen, the Summer Vacation Special, and the Freshmen Yearbook, Pusher carves out a consistent presence in this compact but devoted corner of the Image universe. With only 13 catalog appearances, this is a gem for readers who love discovering the hidden personalities that give a series its texture — the kind of character that rewards fans willing to dig into something a little off the beaten path.
