Eight Billion Genies Deluxe Edition Vol. 1

Product Information

To navigate the possibilities of the this reality, the eight-part series tells the story over increasing spans of time: The first eight minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, years, decades, and finally centuries. All from a premise that is at once so simple yet brimming with infinite complexity from all the possibilities it enables. Perhaps more importantly, the things they don't intend are utterly ignored; one page shows a man who wished to be a giant large enough to be seen from space, only to start suffocating from the lack of oxygen in the upper atmosphere. 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. Combo Platter Powers: Wang wishes to become whatever he needs to be to survive in the world forever changed by genies and for the abilities he needs to protect whoever he's with.

A pretty goofy, yet brilliant concept: what if there were eight billion genies - one for every human - and they each granted us one wish?Lastly, they are able to offer minor assistance—interpreting languages, offering insight on what other people are doing, and so on—at their discretion without requiring a wish to do so. Then, when Wang refuses on account of Bernie's blackmail being meaningless with society all but collapsed, Bernie tries to wish Wang dead.

It depicts a genie resembling Calvin overlooking a scene with a paratrooper Tyrannosaurus rex and several F-35 jets. One of the genies mentions that a woman wished for a lightsaber, only to accidentally set downtown Detroit ablaze since she never wished for the skill to use it.This is a really fun little book that does everything ~really well~, but hardly anything feels spectacular. Very interesting premise and a really solid story until the last few issues where it feels like the creators kinda lost the plot/didn't know how to end the story. Love Potion: When Daisy gets her genie, she immediately spends her wish to try and get Brian to fall madly in love with her. Unfortunately for her and luckily for Brian, Will made his wish to render all wishes from outside the bar unable to affect the bar or whatever is inside, nullifying it.
