Eight Billion Genies: Deluxe Edition, Book One
by Charles Soule, Ryan Browne
Really fun book.
It's basic idea that 8 Billion people get ONE wish is great. And watching the effects of so many pick is wonderful. As you can guess, the entire world pretty much goes to shit pretty quickly. And the first few issues take place in a bar, that is safe from these wishes, because the first wish to be said was to protect it, making the area interesting. About half way we shift focus to the entire world and things speed up, years fly by, and we get lifetimes of wishes and what happened.
Overall great stuff, some dark moments on a otherwise mostly upbeat book. I really liked the twist and turns and the ending made me want another one. Not sure if we'll get it but I'd be very opened to it. A 4 out of 5.
