I'm kind of curious what your objections are to DC/Marvel, because I would think a lot of issues would wind up being present in Wildcards as well.

Maybe it's just that I don't really care for Wildcards though.

I've noticed with some people, problems with the big two that would make them RAGE!! get a pass when coming from a smaller publisher.

So your friends don't like a particular author and have no interest into getting into a decades old anthology series that he edits? I don't see anything blame-worthy about that.

Also, having read many of the early Wildcards, I don't see what it's doing better than DC/Marvel. Well, maybe DC because it's a bit shit these days.

Don't remind me. :( What's sad is they DO have some good stories but everything else is either garbage or hampered by editorial interference.

Dude, I love Wild Cards. I find GRRM's characters a bit... over the top, but the majority of the books seem solid.

(Except the second series. The second series was a bit too weird for me. Third series is pretty engrossing.)

Irk, as someone who really dislikes GRRM's style, you'd have to do a lot of fast talking and convincing to get me to touch something he's a major part of.
I mean, if you could say that none of the stuff I hate about his writing is present then maybe, but tbh it's not like I'm lacking reading material by authors I actually like...
Sorry, op.

that's a silly protest. grrm hardly writes any of the series. most of it is by people who are a whooooole lot more.

wild cards is such a ridiculous trainwreck, I can't stop hatereading it. a bunch is just really boring, but then there's like the pimp whose psychic powers come from retaining sperm through tantric sex, and the woman whose power is she can kill people with her venomous vagina

whole lot worse, not whole lot more.

I grew up reading those books, but I haven't gone back after giving up long ago. The weakest and most obnoxiously macho and libertarian authors just seemed to be getting more and more prominent; it felt to me like yet another series being taken over by its own worst habits.

That's a silly reason not to read Wild Cards.

There are so, so many good reasons not to read Wild Cards.
