Ilustration During Books Suicide Kings (Wild Cards #20)

Now in development for TV: Rights to develop Wild Cards for TV have been acquired by Universal Cable Productions, the team that brought you The Magicians and Mr. Robot, with the co-editor of Wild Cards, Melinda Snodgrass as executive producer.

In 1946, an alien virus that rewrites human DNA was accidentally unleashed in the skies over New York City. It killed ninety percent of those it infected. Nine percent survived to mutate into tragically deformed creatures. And one percent gained superpowers. The Wild Cards shared-universe series, created and edited since 1987 by New York Times #1 bestseller George R. R. Martin ("The American Tolkien"—Time magazine) along with Melinda Snodgrass, is the tale of the history of the world since then—and of the heroes among the one percent.

Ranging from New York and New England to ravaged Africa and New Orleans, encompassing war, devastation, and stubborn hope, Suicide Kings advances the story of the Wild Cards, and their struggle to be fully human in a world that fears and mistrusts them.

Criticism Regarding Books Suicide Kings (Wild Cards #20)

The only reason I bothered finishing the previous WILD CARDS installment was because I hoped the series would get better.Turns out, I hoped in vain.I gave up on this book about 150 pages in. I was at a point where I had to tape my eyelids open just to keep myself from drifting off in boredom every five seconds.I do not care about any of these characters. I am not interested in their stories. I don't like the piecemeal way the book was written. And it annoys me that George R.R. Martin's only

Pretty good. I have not read a wild card novel in a while.

Blew through this in about two days. A nice, fast read. Despite the fact that I was disappointed with the previous book in the trilogy, I'm glad I checked this one out because it's back to more of what I remembered enjoying from Inside Straight (and more recently, reading the original Wild Cards). It's not rock-your-world deep, but it's interesting, and there's something inherently fun about action-packed superheroes and it's hard to mess this up. Can't help but read stories like this and wonder

Robert Crumb once said, in his introduction to a very different book (American Splendor, 1985), that "Comic books are for kids. Adolescent male power fantasies, that's what most comic books contain; escape fantasies for pimply-faced young boys... yep." I don't agree with Crumbbut he has a point. Most stories about superheroes really are easily dismissedshallow, thoughtless festivals of stretch tights and violence. But there are exceptions.I've been enjoying the Wild Cards series since the

The last three were probably the best in the series in terms of character development.

Excessive violence, cruelty, actually boring gratuitous sex, kill off most of the interesting characters, allow a few to continue to function despite fatal wounds...randomly throw some romantic paragraphs in that crop up now and again instead of actually developing. Trite, tired, cliche'. Worst, if you've read future installments, you already know the outcomes of these stories. We do learn the origin of Ghost and Adesina here, but two sentences would have sufficed to explain those. And they do,

Sci-fi with a social conscienceIve read almost all of the books in this series, and this one was particularly good. Well developed characters and a strong sense of morality.
