Image Comics has revealed Charles Soule and Ryan Browne’s Eight Billion Genies is getting multiple issues sent back to print with reorder activity escalating. The penultimate issue is #7–which will be a 40-page extra-sized issue–giving folks a chance to catch up with the reprints. Fans can get the reprints of issue #1-6 on February 1st.
These reprints mark the fifth printing for issues #1-3, the fourth printing for #4, and second printing for #5-6. That’s not all, the series is due for an Amazon series too.
“Seeing Eight Billion Genies connect with the readers the way it has is one of the great thrills of my writing career so far,” said Soule. “Literally a wish come true. When Image suggested reprinting not one, not two, but every single issue so far of the series, I had to stare at the email for a while to let it sink in; thank you so much for supporting this story. Ryan and I are working on the big finale issues as we speak—for everyone who’s been following the genie journey… we will not let you down!”
So what’s Eight Billion Genies about?
The Eight Billion Genies comic book series asks, If you had one wish… what would you wish for? Now, what if everyone else on the planet had one wish too? At exactly the same moment, everyone on earth gets a genie and one wish. Eight seconds later, the world has transformed forever…and that’s just the beginning.
