Eight Billion Genies #1

Eight Billion Genies launches its eight-issue series from Image with a cover that immediately signals something wonderfully strange: a cosmos-filled genie silhouette — small, cartoonish, and grinning — floats at center while a crowd of stunned, wide-eyed people reacts around it, rendered in delicate pencil linework by Ryan Browne. The contrast between that starfield-blue genie and the sketchy, muted humanity surrounding it tells you everything about the collision of the extraordinary and the everyday that this series promises. Charles Soule and Ryan Browne look to be asking one irresistible question: what happens when every single person on Earth gets a wish at the same time?
