Wild Cards by George R.R. Martin
4.0
As i mentioned before it happens with every collection of stories, you got some that are more interesting than others, some are more profound than others, is understandable that having this many stories back to back would lead to readers comparing them with each other
So this is the introduction to a world of super powered people and the unlucky deformed people, known as Aces and Jokers respectively. I’m happy to be part of the readers of this franchise, and excited to see what the 25 other releases (as of 07/2018) can show me, to find out how many of my favorite characters of this book will show up in the next installments.
Most of the book tells the origin story of and Ace or Joker (mostly Aces), and so if you like origin stories ¯\(◉‿◉)/¯ you're going to love this books, these stories can be appreciated individually, but there is always excitement whenever a character appears in the story of a different character.
Each story takes place in a decade of the 20th century going from 1946 (The Wild Card virus is release) until the 80's (when this book was published for the first time).
It isn't a conventional superhero book C= C= C= C= C= C= ┌(;･_･)┘ ））, there isn't much saving the world, is more of a semi realistic or adult oriented version of a world with superpowers.
