I recently enjoyed the graphic novel Shubeik Lubeik, by Deena Mohamed. In Cairo, three people from very different walks of life each buy a powerful "first class" djinn wish and set about deciding what their heart's desire is -- and then how to ask for it. Interesting art style, fun city-scapes, lively frame narrative. Some discussion of suicide, domestic abuse, prison, but I'd say that overall it's actually not a very sad book, and it ends on a high up-note.
