Those infected either draw the black queen and die, draw an ace and receive superpowers, or draw the joker and are bizarrely mutated.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOver a year ago, the U.N.s Committee for Extraordinary Interventions sent ace heroes Ana Cortez and Kate BrandtEarth Witch and Curveballto Brazil to investigate Aurora Mission, a charity that claimed to provide education and medical care for those affected by the Wild Card virus. But local ace and activist Gabriel Silva reported abuses. Ana and Kate helped him get to the truth, which turned out to be far more sinister than anyone expected.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAna and Kate thought that case was closed, but now a Brazilian official has questions. Did they do the right thing or overreach their authority? The case amply demonstrates that, even in a world of incredible powers, there will always be victims.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWritten by New York Times bestselling author Carrie Vaughn with art by Eisner-nominated creator Renae De Liz, this dynamic story gives readers a new look into the Wild Cards universe, and shows how even those with great powers have their limits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eImage and Condition Note -\u003c\/b\u003e We typically have multiple copies of the titles we sell.
