Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:The second volume of the Eisner Award-nominated series, collecting issues #6–10! What forced Mayor Hundred to make one of the most controversial decisions in the history of New York politics? Featuring an introduction by the Wachowski brothers (The Matrix) and a new cover by Tony Harris! Review:"What would you do if a mysterious explosion left you with the ability to control machines? Become mayor of New York, of course. Mitchell Hundred gave up crimefighting years ago, and now fights evil with a pen and a mayoral seal. His mysterious power still comes in handy, though, especially when he can make the paparazzis' cameras jam or the neighbor's air conditioner stop rattling. But ever since his attempt to help fend off the September 11th attacks forced him to reveal his secret identity, things have gotten terribly complicated for Hundred. In this second volume we see him struggling with a political firestorm ignited by his open support of gay marriage at the same time that a mysterious presence is terrorizing New York's subways, leaving behind the horribly mutilated bodies of dogs and humans. Beside each gruesome discovery is a glyph linked to the explosion that gave Hundred his power. Vaughan (Y: The Last Man) and Harris (Starman series) have a created a compelling and completely original hero in Mitch Hundred. Ex Machina is half X-Files, half West Wing, and 100% genius. The dialogue sparkles, the art beautifully conveys both Vaughan's horror and his humor, and the plot twists will have readers on the edge of their seats. For any fan of contemporary comics, Ex Machina is the series to read." Publishers Weekly (Starred Review) (Copyright Reed Business Information, Inc.) Review:"Ex Machina shares many of the strengths of...Y: The Last Man, including vivid characterization and very credible realization of an outre set-up. Thanks largely to artist Tony Harris' stylish realism, however, it outshines its predecessor." Booklist Review:"[A] fast-paced and often sexy collection.... Review:"You don't have to be a fan of BKV's other work to enjoy Ex Machina, just a fan of intelligent, well-written action-dramas. Though Y: The Last Man has a better mystery, Ex Machina is its equal in terms of quality and should not be missed." IGN.com What Our Readers Are SayingAdd a comment for a chance to win!
