The Uniques is a self-published superhero comic book series written and drawn by husband and wife team Adam Withers and Comfort Love.

I found out about the comic via deviantART when I stumbled across the cover art for the Vol.2 Collection done by *AdamWithers. I was intrigued by the synopsis attached to the image so I followed the link to The Uniques website and found that Issue 1 had a free .PDF download.
The Review
Story: 8.5/10
I’ve seen some of the elements before, but the package they wrapped it in is unique to me and makes it fresh.
Art: 8.5/10
I’m always picky about art and will always find something to nit-pick about, so unless you are intentionally staring at the art looking for flaws like I do, ignore my 8.5 and read it as a 9.5
Characters: 8/10
The characters are nicely designed and are fairly realistic in their personalities, however a couple of characters are rather similar to others I’ve seen in concept, but this is acceptable as the concept isn’t particularly unique, such as Countryman reminding me of Captain America. The Superhero alias’ are blunt and to the point, and while this could be seen as a flaw, I am rather refreshed by it as I’m still fond of the super simple and blunt hero names of past.
Overall: 9.5/10
I think the flow of Issue 1 is good and the story is easy to follow. There were a few points that left me wondering what had happened, but these were from a viewpoint that wouldn’t of had the knowledge at the time and were explained later. The ending was easily identifiable as the stopping point and I wasn’t left wondering where the next page was, but it also left me curious about the next bit of the story. If you enjoy superheroes, alternate universes, or young adult stories, I would recommend The Uniques to you. Issue 1 is free to read on the website, and hey, it’s only 40 pages including cover.

I am very familiar with the concept of wanting to do what you love for a living, so if you like The Uniques, be sure to support Adam Withers and Comfort Love by buying The Uniques paraphernalia.
lol alright so here’s exactly how dumb I am, halfway through reading your post I dropped my mouse and shut the site by mistake and I couldn’t locate your post once again until 5 days afterwards to finish reading through where I left off mainly because I didn’t remember how I linked to your site to begin with lol anyway it was worth the wait..many thanks
