I haven't read much of this thread, since I'm less than halfway through Worm's archives (meaning I still have at least a literal million words to read, goddamn), but I wanted to drop by and give my initial impression.

It seems like Worm is basically what Wild Cards could have been if it weren't quite so Wild Cards. It's not that Worm isn't grim, gritty, gory, or whatever other applicable adjectives, but Wild Cards seemed to have much more of an adolescent fixation on trying to appear 'mature' in an edgy shock-value sort of way. Worm seems to have avoided that. It also benefits from being written by only one author, rather than a whole gaggle of neckbeards trying to squeeze in a story arc about their favorite Ace.
