[Le_Doc]

L’univers Wild Cards co-créé par George R.R. Martin (pour en savoir plus) fera son retour en comic-book chez Marvel en juin.
Wild Cards : The Drawing of Cards est une mini-série en 4 épisodes scénarisée par Paul Cornell (Dr Who) et dessinée par Mike Hawthorne (Deadpool).

Paul Cornell :

« Wild Cards is still a unique take on superheroes, a creation story that’s influenced everything since, but still maintains its power. It’s an honor and a pleasure to bring all these wonderful stories to their natural home at Marvel, and I hope to give George, Melinda, and the rest of the Wild Cards Collective the credit they deserve for making the superhero myth new again. Plus: just look at that art! »

IS HE ACE OR JOKER? A superhuman with an awesome gift…or a poor soul twisted by mutation? For Croyd Crenson, that question isn’t so easily answered. Sure, the Wild Card virus gave him powers…but they keep changing! Concluding the adaptation of the tragic first appearance of Roger Zelazny’s fan-favorite character - the Sleeper.
