I've been waiting to read Brian K. Vaughan's "Ex Machina" for a long time. So, after finally reading the last volume of his "Y: The Last Man" series, I figured now would be the perfect time to start. Close the door on "Y," open it on "Ex." At this point, I can't make any comparison between the two series, because I spent the better part of this year with my nose in a "Y: The Last Man" book, but what I can say is that "Ex Machina" is pure BKV and will not only please his fans, but its also a great ...

It was a little bit hard to follow at times, but Ex Machina was still really cool. It was a really creative premise, and I thought it was executed very well. The artwork was quite good. I'm definately going to have to read the rest of the series.
