ABOUT

Genies grant wishes! That’s all anyone ever cares about. They forget that genies were imprisoned in those lamps for a reason.

Ravenna, the king of evil genies, has taken over Taya's body and has gone underground to find powerful genie allies. It's up to Relic and the Hermitic Sodality of Genie Hunters to try and stem the flood of chaos! But one genie proves a bigger threat than all the others combined: The Archivist, who was such a terrible genie that his lamp was kept hidden in Windsor Castle for centuries. Relic and the team must get to it before Ravenna.

This page-turning adventure features 20 black-and-white illustrations throughout from noted Korean animator and artist Hyun Song We.

STANDARD, PRIMARY, DM AND VARIANT COVERS

Standard and Primary covers are widely available through general retailers. They often have higher print runs and can be cheaper, especially during sales.

In contrast, Direct Market (DM) and variant covers are primarily sold in comic shops. DM editions tend to have more limited availability and may be more valuable to collectors.

The main differences lie in artwork style, availability, price, and collector appeal. Ultimately, the choice between standard and variant covers depends on personal preference, budget, and individual collecting goals.
