George R.R. Martin's Wild Cards Series Has Taken A Big Step Forward

Wild Cards is very different from your typical book series, mostly because it's really not a typical book series. While 27 books have been released to date (with others in the works) starting in 1987, the Wild Cards universe also includes comics, graphic novels, role playing games, anthologies, mosaic novels and stand-alone stories written by a wide collection of authors, with Martin and Snodgrass (who both came up with the framework for the universe) serving as editors. Really, at this point, with so much source material to draw from, there's no reason why a shared television universe of multiple shows shouldn't be set up.
