\"\"<\/a>Title: Aladdin: Legacy of the Lost #1<\/em><\/span>
\n<\/strong>Publisher:<\/strong> Radical Publishing
\nWriter: <\/strong>Ian Edginton
\nArtist: <\/strong>Patrick Reilly<\/p>\n

“From the mystical city of Shambhalla to the ends of the Earth comes a tale of magic, mystery and the motivations of power. It is the world of Ala ad-Din, better known as ALADDIN.<\/em><\/p>\n

Thief, gambler, liar and cheat, Aladdin\u2019s reckless soul falls under the eye of the sorcerer Qassim, who has spent his life scouring the sands for the Dreaming Jewel. This lost relic of shattering power will enable\u00a0Qassim to steal the magic of the Djinn of the Lamp and reshape the world in his own malicious design. But to do so, he requires a mystical ability carried within Aladdin’s blood…power that not even Aladdin himself knows about. An epic adventure that twists the classic saga into dark, unexplored territories with multi-Eisner nominated writer Ian Edginton!”<\/em><\/p>\n

Sure I saw the Wishmaster<\/em> movies so I know they are called Djinn and not genies, but I’m just excited to see how Ian Edginton interprets the classic tale.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Andy: <\/strong>Yeah, the Aladdin I’m also most familiar with found success via the immediate aid of a cartoon Robin Williams. He deceived a sexy Princess who wore a lacy blue gown (that was much too revealing for her age) by stealing bread and pretending to be a prince. He even lamented in song about being a “street rat” and “not buying that” in a clear tenor voice. If only they’d look closer… Would they see a poor boy? No siree! They’d find out that the cocky Aladdin from Fables (
