Wild Cards

The super hero shared universe of sci-fi anthology Wild Cards is given the mighty Marvel treatment! Beginning with an adaptation of the first two stories in the inaugural ＂mosaic novel＂ edited by acclaimed fantasy author George R.R. Martin, brace yourself for an alternate history in which a devastating alien weapon detonated on Earth in the 1940s. Now, when a human is infected with the alien ＂Wild Card＂ virus, the odds are that they will be killed...which is referred to as ＂drawing the black queen.＂ Of those who survive, the bulk of them become ＂jokers,＂ left with some strange mutated form. A lucky few are called ＂aces,＂ those gifted with super-powers they can put to use toward heroic goals...or villainous ones. Prepare to enter a world where you have to play the cards you are dealt -- and the implications are wild!
