StockID: 130786 SKU: SEP241510
Croyd Crenson is the Wild Card's greatest failure-and its greatest success. Dubbed 'The Sleeper-' he randomly undergoes hibernations that can span weeks or even months. After each hibernation- he awakens with a new appearance and set of powers-sometimes a joker- sometimes an ace- and sometimes a combination of both-until exhaustion claims him and his next inevitable sleep shuffles the cards anew. Ever since his initial infection in 1946- he's awoken in a singular body-until now. His latest awakening has left him split into six different incarnations- each of them a self-contained piece of the original and each with a unique look and set of powers. One of them- at least- recognizes this for the the disaster that it is- and tasks the clever and elusive Tesla-a joker with ace powers-to locate and gather the remaining five versions of himself before sleep claims them again and leaves Croyd permanently fractured. What follows is a journey through Croyd's long and colorful life- through the lens of some who have encountered the world's most unusual wild carder. And as Tesla delves deeper into the investigation- he'll have to work fast- because not every Croyd is as amiable as the first-and they'll do whatever it takes to survive.
