Wild Cards: Wild cards 3 : Jokers salvajes (Paperback)

In the aftermath of World War II, the alien virus Wild Card ravages Earth. The survivors were turned into metahumans: either Jokers, beings with physical deformities and unusual skills, always marginalized and harassed, or Aces, men and women of normal human appearance who develop the gift of flying, reading the minds of others, and the ability to walk through walls, change shape at will, become invisible, and even stop time. Soon the mob and the great powers compete to hunt for and seize exceptional people such as Ghost Girl, the Sleeping, the Puppeteer, and the powerful Four Aces, some of whom are inclined to commit crimes rather than do good. This volume includes stories from Edward Bryant, John J. Miller, Walter Simons, and others.

Cuando Manhattan se preparaba para celebrar el Día Wild Card, el Astrónomo reaparece para asesinar a los ases que se oponen a sus planes. Y no pudo elegir mejor momento, los ases se hallan divididos mientras que las mafias se encuentran en guerra por el control de Nueva York. El Arquero, la mujer Espectro, Hiram, Fortunato, Tachyon, el Niño Dinosaurio y otros héroes que no siempre dominan sus poderes por completo, deberán enfrentar una prueba macabra, ignorando si tienen al menos una posibilidad de escapar con vida.
