EIGHT BILLION GENIES have appeared on earth with one wish for everyone on the planet. We've seen the first eight seconds after the genies arrived, and the first eight minutes-now brace yourself for the first eight hours, when many insane and foolish and wonderful wishes are made, and our heroes (a group of lovely people stuck in a dive bar in Detroit) try to survive the growing wishpocalypse!
With heart and great humor, 'Eight Billion Genies' #2 continues the excellence of the series debut. Read Full Review
Eight Billion Genies lays out the groundwork for this wish-driven world and what might be on the way while ramping up the madness that has been unleashed by those who are too impulsive with the wishes they have been granted. A whimsical and fun story that is also tinged with pure horror because it gives an all too realistic view of what human nature will cause if humans were given such unfettered power over reality itself.

Interpersonal battles remain the crux of the story here, and those can often be the toughest stories to write. So far, so good here. Read Full Review
Eight Billion Genies #2 is a fantastic second issue because of its focus. It could easily get caught up in the insanity but its the focus on the characters and their reactions that make the comic work so well. Like The Walking Dead, it's about the people, their interactions, and their reactions to a world of chaos. And like that series, it's what makes the comic stand out and one to not miss.

I'll admit, I was a bit afraid that the creators wouldn't be able keep the quality of the 1st issue as extremely high as it did, but _they_ did - the only difference is that this issue went for depth instead of surprise.
In short: recommended to the 2nd power! (And KEEP! YHE! QUALITY! COMING! PLZ! :D )
...OMG, this book is really SO darn good!... :D :D :D
Brilliant, well thought out series so far
Instantly a favorite. Can't believe this will only a limited run.
This is going to be a hell of a read.
Simply entertaining.
Just when I had given up on Soule, he gives us another very good series
Super fun. The next issue will make or break this series.
