Ex Machina is half X-Files, half West Wing and 100% genius. Beside each gruesome discovery is a glyph linked to the explosion that gave Hundred his power.

A brilliant comic. Wow. If you've ever read any of the more cereberal comics that have been published over the past couple of decades, this one has the potential to be one of the best ever made.The premise is fantastic, and long overdue. In a slightly altered future, a civil engineer named Mitchell Hundred finds a device under the Brooklyn bridge that malfunctions, giving him the ability to speak with machinery. With the prodding of an idealist friend, he takes up a costume and fights crime under the moniker, 'The Great Machine'. Jump forwar. James L. Jackson said Superheroism + Politics + Realism = The Best Comic Today (and this is just the second volume). TAG is the second volume of the there's-no-other-way-to-put-it BEST super-hero comic on the market today, EX MACHINA. TAG, like all of the best of Vaughan's Ex Machina stories, advances the story of Mitchell Hundred, onetime super-hero, now mayor of New York City all the while giving us important details in Mitch's backstory. TAG is motivated by two events--a piece of debris exerts a deadly influence over a few citizens in the New York area and the brother of the Deputy Mayor of New York City wants to get married to his bo. Paul Polonskiy said Awesome. The second volume of Ex Machina was really exciting. What was really refreshing was that it wasn't very predictable. The story itself was quite good, intertwining between a murder mystery, mysterious signs showing up in the subway relating to Mayor Hundred, and politics. The artwork also was very good. Just a really good follow up to the first volume, which was quite good itself.
