GRAPHIC NOVELS
I. Shubiek Lubiek by #DeenaMohamed
An intricate alternate history in which wishes are real, and must be refined from a kind of raw wish-stuff that has to be dug out of the earth. Naturally, this has been an important element of geopolitics and colonization, especially since the wish-stuff is concentrated in the global south, particularly Egypt, the setting for our tale.

Egyptian writer and artist Deena Mohamed's SHUBEIK LUBEIK is one of the best graphic novels I've read in a while (& ever)--using the conceit of an alt-history where djinns/wishes are commodified to tell a tale of the costs of (a tiny portion of) humanity's ability to get whatever it wants.
