Product Description:
EX MACHINA tells the story of civil engineer Mitchell Hundred, who becomes America's first living, breathing super-hero after a strange accident gives him amazing powers. Eventually Mitchell tires of risking his life merely to maintain the status quo and runs for mayor of New York City, winning by a landslide. This new collection features three unique storylines of the Eisner Award-winning series which Playboy calls "a two-fisted blend of super-hero action and political debate!"

There is a trend in modern comics that I've really come to like. Around the third or fourth collection, a lot of regularly arc-oriented comics hit readers with a few shorter tales. One-shots, shorter arcs, whatever the case may be, it happens a lot, and I love it. Gaiman did it with The Sandman, Willingham did it with Fables, Mignola did it with Hellboy, Whedon is getting read to do it with Buffy, and Vaughan does it in this volume of EX MACHINA. We take a break from longer story arcs to get ... Read More

For those who've grown beyond "Hulk smash" and "With great power comes great responsibility" comes ex-machina; an alternate history story about a NYC mayor who happens to to be able to talk to and command any machine to do anything. Meanwhile, he also has a city to run, which makes for amusing and thought-provoking fun. The characters are well-drawn, the dialogue is crisp and the art is direct and good. The series shows every sign of being consistently good (I've read the first four graphic novels ... Read More

Brian K. Vaughan, Ex Machina: Fact v. Fiction (Wildstorm, 2006)
Mitchell Hundred keeps trying to run New York City his way, and people keep wanting him to stop. As usual, there's a mini-mystery running through the volume (and, as usual, it's the weakest part of the book); it's predictable, and you can ignore it, but the rest of the book is just as interesting as the series has been so far. Vaughan continues to impress me with his ability to take the much-overdone "post-9/11" genre and make ... Read More

The third volume of Ex Machini is consistent with the first three. The hostage situation was extremely intriguing, but the whole thing about Hundred and his mother was a little boring to me. I am, however, a big fan of Ex Machina, and Brian K. Vaughn, and will definately continue reading each volume.
Rating: -
Despite its slight super-hero flavor, Ex Machina sustains a fairly believable story line - NYC's new mayor, an ex-engineer, in way over his head and trying to apply rational logic to political machinery. His super-thing isn't what keeps the reader interested, it's his very human doggedness and determination to do what he thinks is right in problems with no right answers.
This time, that includes the everyday drama of jury duty (with a wild turn of plot), family revelations, and flashbacks ... Read More
