Description
How the bartender was smart enough to come up with such a sharp wish on the spot, we only find out later, and not fully until the very end of the story. It will be interesting - for me - to see if my first impressions are borne out as I read further or if I do a 180 and after a few issues fall in love with this comic. This is a lie, since Will is a genie who's been through over a dozen cycles already, and would have anticipated a Wishplosion apocalypse. Nigh-Invulnerability: Will wishes for his bar and anyone and anything inside it to be completely immune to the effects of wishes made outside it. Eight Billion genies tries to accomplish a lot across only eight issues though, and it feels like as a result, nothing here packs a huge punch.
I was going to start this review by saying that I chose this book as I felt it was time for my indie fix, but then thought that was doing this book a disservice. Most purchases from business sellers are protected by the Consumer Contract Regulations 2013 which give you the right to cancel the purchase within 14 days after the day you receive the item.Anchored in a pub in Michigan that becomes a magical sanctuary for eight people to ride out the chaos, “8BG” was originally released as eight single issues beginning in May 2022. On suit donc une palette très attachante de personnages complexes, au fils des jours, semaines, mois et années suivent les génies. Cool Old Guy: Will Williams is the proprietor of the Lampwick Bar and Grill who consistently serves as a voice of reason amidst the chaos. 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. Meanwhile, Will Williams and the people inside his small Michigan bar grapple with their everchanging reality and what to use their omnipotent wishes on.
I liked this one so far-it had a good energy and I’m especially curious about the bartender, so I’ll be chasing down Vol. Harvey Award-nominated Browne is known for his indie title God Hates Astronauts, a superhero satire that has attracted a cult following. The core group of characters were really fun to follow as we get to know them more, and learning their desires and wishes lead to some great character development. Incompatible Orientation: Daisy doesn't learn Brian is gay until long after she wastes her wish trying to make him fall in love with her (it didn't work because he was inside the wish-proof bar when she made the wish but she wasn't). They also don't care how many people are killed as a result of someone's errant wish ( granted, winnowing down the population is why they're there).Les plus malins prennent le temps de réfléchir au fait que, si 8 milliards de vœux sont exaucés, la face de la planète en sera changée. Seeing people make really awful wishes and being regretful, seeing people getting killed and lives being destroyed by evil wishes etc. It isn't long before dinosaurs, Humongous Mecha, and superpowered people come roaring down the street, but Will's wish protects him, the bar, and everyone inside. Small, friendly-looking imp-like creatures, they seemingly appear everywhere at once, one for every person on Earth.
