✦ Synopsis
Subtitulado: El libro con el que empezó todo
Existe una historia secreta del mundo. Una historia que comienza en 1946 cuando un extraño virus alienígena es liberado sobre los cielos de Nueva York, proporcionando superpoderes a unos cuantos supervivientes.
A aquellos que dedican sus talentos a servir a la humanidad los llaman Ases. A los otros, a los que usan sus poderes para ayudar al mal, los denominan Jokers. Wild Cards nos cuenta su historia. Aquí comienza todo. Este es la génesis de lo que acontecerá. En este volumen se presentan los Ases y Jokers que poblarán el universo de Wild Cards: Jetboy, Golden boy, Dr. Tachyon, Jack Braun, Croid Crenson, Hunter S. Thompson. Todos superhéreoes de una novela mosaico en la que los relatos se combinan con noticias y hechos de una historia alternativa que va desde justo después de la Segunda Guerra Mundial hasta la década de los ochenta.
