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. Most of the people exposed to it are killed ('drawing the black queen'), leaving a smaller number oddly mutated (as 'Jokers'), and a lucky few left with superhuman powers (the 'Aces')! Prepare to enter a world where you have to play the cards you are dealt - and the implications are wild! Collecting: Wild Cards (2022) 1-4
