Wild Cards: The Drawing of Cards

In 2022, Marvel Comics brought George R. R. Martin's long-running shared-world anthology to the page with Wild Cards: The Drawing of Cards. This four-issue series, adapted by Martin alongside Howard Waldrop and Melinda M. Snodgrass, visualizes the origins of the Wild Cards universe, where an alien virus reshapes post-WWII Earth. With Mike Hawthorne on art, the story follows the first generation of superhumans—jokers, aces, and deuces—as they grapple with a transformed world. It's a key entry point for newcomers and a vivid return for fans of the prose series.
