Freshmen #2

Two young heroes in striking red-and-black costumes dominate this Rodolfo Migliari cover for the second chapter of "Introduction to Superpowers" — a goggled, gadget-laden figure in the foreground braces for action while a hooded, red-caped teammate rises dramatically behind him, arms outstretched against a sweeping crimson backdrop. Co-created by Seth Green and brought to life by writer Hugh Sterbakov and artist Leonard Kirk, Freshmen brings a fresh, grounded energy to the superhero genre that even earned a quote from Sarah Michelle Gellar on this very cover. If you've been curious about this Image/Top Cow series about rookie heroes finding their footing, issue #2 is a fine place to see what the buzz was about.
