unOrdinary is a graphic novel that delves into a world where people possess extraordinary abilities, yet one seemingly powerless student, John, navigates a high school fraught with hierarchy and social challenges.

Engaging and thought-provoking, it ultimately questions the disparity between strength and true worth.
