Martin won't be involved with the series because of his deals with HBO.
People who were infected with the alien virus either got superpowers or became deformed or just died horribly. People who got powers were called 'Aces' and those who were deformed were called 'Jokers'. The alien virus was dispersed over New York in the 1940's and spread around the world. It's effects were still felt decades later.
'Aces' were treated like celebrities and 'Jokes' usually lived in slums and where treated badly.

According to Martin, Universal Cable Productions has acquired the rights to adapt his superhero series, Wild Cards. Martin created the series along with Melinda M. Snodgrass in 1987 with the anthology Wild Cards. The series is set in an alternate history which began following the outbreak of an alien virus that mutates those it infects. Survivors can be crippled or gain superhuman powers. The series spans over twenty anthologies, in which individual authors contribute short stories to a much larger narrative. Martin noted that the series is still in early stages, but that they are working to figure out what set of characters and what stories the series would focus on. |
