Every genius has a first day.

Before the challenges. Before the rivalries. Before the mystery behind Hillwood itself… there was a letter.

From the streets of Chicago to the corners of Havana, Shanghai, Manhattan, and Toronto, a handful of remarkable kids get an invitation they never saw coming.

A math prodigy with a sharp tongue.

A mischievous young scientist.

A book-smart historian who can’t stop talking.

A musician chasing a dream no one else believes in.

A quiet coder with more to his story than he lets on.

They arrive at the gates of Hillwood Academy not as heroes, but as strangers…carrying their quirks, their doubts, and their hopes.

This first issue isn’t about saving the world. It’s about meeting the ones who just might.

Step inside and see how five very different journeys begin to cross.
