    There's going to be a six-issue miniseries based on the "Wild Cards" storyline, released by Dabel Brothers Publishing.

    The Wild Cards property originated in 1987 with an anthology of stories by a group of science fiction writers including Martin, Roger Zelazny, Chris Claremont, and others, and went on to account for seventeen anthologies, novels, and mosaic novels; a short-lived comic series from Marvel; and RPG adaptations by Steve Jackson Games as part of its GURPS system.  The storyline was based on an alien virus striking earth in 1946 and killing most who were exposed to it.  Survivors were either monstrously deformed "jokers," or superpower-endowed "aces."
