The front cover of "YOU WISH", volume 1 on the right. Avery, a tomboy girl with brown hair, blue trousers and a black shirt with a cute burger face on it, is seen standing in a black rocky cave. She's holding an American oil lamp, which shines the light for her. She looks determined. Next to her on the right is sitting a cute dog-like being with a red mask all over his body. He has yellow eyes and is looking cutely to the reader. Dimly in the background, a monochromatic figure can be seen – a genie with a large body and small head, an earring on an ear, is angrily looking down on Avery. Text reads: ""A WHIMSICAL NEW TWIST ON THE GENIE LEGEND! THIS BOOK IS GORGEOUS!" -JEFF SMITH, AUTHOR OF BONE. YOU WISH by Jeff Victor." Left page shows the back cover. Avery and the red genie assistant can be seen hovering in air. While Avery is restless and hoping the red being won't drop her, he just smiles and looks away, tightly holding her. Background is a deep red mist. Text reads: "What if you found a genie's magic lamp, and rubbed it only to discover that You were the genie? "Magical, charming, gorgeous, funny and heartfelt! Jeff Victor's You Wish is the kind of graphic novel I wholeheartedly wish I had growing up. Aside from the glorious art, get lost in a fully realized world full of magical characters and charming lore. You will wish it would never end!" – Jorge Gutierrez, Director of The Book of Life and Maya and the Three."

Cool idea with cute art, mesmerizing fantasy world, and nice, diverse character designs. Plus the funny ‘denglish’ words in the genie language!

I expected a lot, but definitely not this. While I don’t mind dark turns at all, especially such themes in stories that are marketed towards children, this was rather confusing. It had a really great start, however, the ending was disappointing. Not that I need happy endings – given the themes and writing style, I…

The way they both started to learn the other’s native tongue, through pantomime and hand gestures, the way Ping explained some letters and James visually illustrated it … Beautiful.

I lava all the scareverse monsters in the background, and Ghoulia’s zombie language which consists of moans and groans. And, of corpse, the bootiful monster puns.

Overall cool idea, and a nice twist on the red string of fate – blue string for sexual partners, and black string for murder/victim.

On the left, the back cover. A picnic cloth lying in grass, with a sandwich with brainy insides, a bone cookie ("GUDBOY") and a bloody bubble tea. Text: "Zom is just your average everyday zombie girl. Enjoy this laugh-out-loud, wordless comic collection, which follows the everyday adventures of Zom, a zombie girl; Ari, a resident vampire; and Theo, a loveable werewolf. Zom and her fantastical friends navigate everything from dating to beach trips to roommate spats in a colorful, engaging world full of ghouls, skeletons, and ghosts. This silent graphic novel takes full advantage of the illustrated format and shows the hearts (literally, in some cases) at the core of even the spookiest monsters. ZomCom'ics is great for anyone who likes spooky, funny, and relatable stories." Andrews McMeel PUBLISHING® www.andrewsmcmeel.com $18.99 U.S.A.

Loved it! (Especially the Spiderman meme lmao. Or the death reaper situations.) Silent comics are always so cool, and shows again & again how you don’t need many words (or any words) to tell a story! I especially love how diverse and creative each strip is. All kinds of mythological creatures in situations that I…

More like: friends to enemies to lovers, with a bit of second chance trope. Not that it’s disappointing, I do prefer friends to lovers anyways.

A new spin, making the protagonist of African descent, a slave and a man of color. Plus, connecting it to the Haitian revolution.
