The Uniques is an ongoing superhero comic book series by husband and wife creative team Comfort Love and Adam Withers. Set in a world where people with superpowers, known as "Uniques" are commonplace, but genuine superheroes are rare, with most having been killed in a Supervillain attack on New York City in 1994. The series focuses on Hope Sage, the daughter of famed superheroes Mentor and Kinetic, who awakens from a two-year coma to find that she's the last psychic alive on the entire planet. As she comes to terms with her parents' deaths in the attack on New York city, she begins assembling her own superhero team to be the beacon of hope people need in these dark times.
The series is organized into 10 issue arcs, referred to as "seasons". The writers have planned for the story to continue for a total of ten seasons, by which point the protagonists will all be in their forties and fifties.
! The Uniques provides examples of:
* AlternateHistory: One where not only have superheroes been commonplace since 1939, but a supervillain attack on the UN in 1994 completely ''destroyed'' New York City.
* ComicBookTime: Thoroughly averted. WordOfGod confirms that the cast will all be in their forties and fifties by the time the series ends.
* DeathIsCheap: Also averted. Everyone who dies in this setting stays dead.
* HeroInsurance: All superheroes and teams in this setting are required to have a license. Hope gets let off with a warning for getting into fights with supervillains without one by virtue of the fact that she 1) just woke up from a coma, and 2) had a reasonable excuse for both.
