Forewarning to others that got this in the Dynamite ebook bundle, the pdf and cbz formats have the pages all in the wrong order. The other two formats seem ok. It makes a lot more sense if you don't have the end and the beginning all shuffled together.

I like the concept of the disease that turns people into mutants or super heroes, though I guess G.R.R. Martin gets the credit there, not the comic book writer. I liked the overall plot arc, too, the antagonist's goal was interesting and he could have been a deep and complex character if the storytelling hadn't suffered from the cheesiness and lack of depth that is common in comic books.

Not fond of the art style, I guess it's trying to be noir but the enormous shadows make it harder to see things.

English text follows:

Τούτ' είν' η πρώτη ιστορία απ' το σύμπαν των "Άγριων Καρτών" που διάβασα κι ομολογώ ότι την βρήκα αρκετά ενδιαφέρουσα, ώστε να προσπαθήσω στο μέλλον να διαβάσω τόσο τα σχετικά βιβλία του Μάρτιν, όσο και τα υπόλοιπα γκράφικ νόβελ.

Η ιδέα ενός ιού που μεταλλάσσει τους ανθρώπους, δίνοντάς τους ιδιότητες που τους ταξινομούν σε ομάδες ονοματισμένες απ' τα φύλλα της τράπουλας (οι "Άσοι" με υπερδυνάμεις, αλλά "φυσιολογικοί" σε εμφάνισι, οι "Τζόκερ" παραμορφωμένοι, για παράδειγμα), είναι ιδιαίτερα εμπνευσμένη!

Είναι αλήθεια πως σε κάποια σημεία η συγκεκριμένη ιστορία είναι λίγο τετριμμένη και προβλέψιμη, αλλά το σχέδιο είναι εξαιρετικό κι η όλη αίσθησι πολύ θετική. Πιστεύω, μ' άλλα λόγια, πως είναι μια καλή εισαγωγή στον κόσμο των "Άγριων Καρτών"!

This is the first story from the "Wild Cards" universe that I've ever read, and I admit that I've found it a very interesting one, so as to try in the future to read both the relevant books by Martin and the rest of the graphic novels.

The concept of a virus that transmutes humans, giving them characteristics which classify them in groups named by the faces of the (traditional) playing cards (for instance, "Aces" have superpowers, but remain "normal" in appearance, "Jokers" have deformities), is a particularly inspired one!

It's true that some points of this specific story are somehow trite and predictable, but the design is excellent, and the whole feeling very positive; in other words, I believe it's a good introduction to the world of the "Wild Cards"!
