Wild Cards Discussion with Saladin Ahmed, Paul Cornell, and Melinda Snodgrass

Listen to the authors of George R. R. Martin’s latest Wild Cards novel discuss Low Chicago!

George R. R. Martin’s famous other series is a great sandbox that has hosted some of the best writers in science fiction, fantasy, and graphic novels. The Wild Cards universe is a place where superheroes and villains fight, love, and just try to survive. The plague that led to the emergence of superhero “Aces” and mutant “Jokers” resonates with anyone who’s ever felt a bit… different from normal people.

Hugo and Eisner Award-nominated author Saladin Ahmed (The Crescent Throne, Marvel’s Black Bolt,) Paul Cornell (Doctor Who, Chalk) and Melinda Snodgrass, who is a long-time Wild Cards author and editor, a screenwriter, and the current executive producer on the forthcoming Wild Cards TV show, all have a lot to say both about working with superheroes and working with George.
