In issue #1 of Marvel Comics' ICON/Millarworld Superior title by Mark Millar and Leinel Yu you'll discover how wishes do come true.
Wheelchair bound Simon used to have a life, until he contracted Multiple Sclerosis. He was a high school star basketball player and all-around athlete. Now it hurts to move, sometimes he can barely speak and his conditioning is worsening.
One night Simon is jolted awake by a spacesuit clad talking monkey. Needless to say he is shocked. He's even more shocked when he discovers he's millions of miles from Earth.
Turns out he was chosen to receive a very special gift: a Magic Wish. Suddenly Simon is transformed into a real version of Superior and instantly finds himself back in his own room. At least it seems like instantly. In fact, he's been gone a whole day.
His mother is in a panic, so much so that's she's called in the cops. In particular a cop who hears something in Simon's room. He investigates and Simon flies through the roof-literally.
He shows up at Chris's apartment looking for help-now the fun begins. Superior is a modern fairytale where wishes come true. But, you know the old saying, "Be careful what you wish for." I for one, wish this series the very best and I intend to stick around to see what happens.
