Wild Cards, Vol. 1 (The Legendary Series) (The Legendary Series, Volume 1)

I love the variety of characters, the complexity of their flaws and strengths. I DON'T love how the timeline inexplicably hews so closely to our own, as it gives so many touchstones of our public history a sense of inevitability, and that's just nuts.

Couldn't finish it. Some of the stories were good, but Melinda Snodgrass stopped me in my tracks.

Not a big fan of superhero fiction, comic books, but i did like this one. Is definitely a series i'll be following more. It's an alternative history of the world, after a virus hits the earth and renders powers/disfiguration to a portion of the inhabitants. How different people deal with these different powers is interesting, and is nothing like the Clarke Kent, Peter Parker treatments. Since it's a collection by different authors, it's a healthy mix and should probably have something for everyone. 'The sleeper' was my favourite of the lot.

I just re-read this Wild Cards I. I actually listened to the audio book, which includes the extra stories added to computational 1. I enjoyed the hell out of the audio book.
