fantastic! beautiful writing and artwork - i loved the use of live actors as references for the panels, almost like 2-d rotoscoping. sometimes it came off as campy or 'soap-operaish', but for the most part it was used well and helped the gestures come off as more believable and human. tying in 9/11 was also very tastefully done and not over-the-top, which was good. overall, a solid political thriller with a topical message.

Reads like a great political novel or an episode of the West Wing. With nifty pictures, jet packs, and ray guns. It's fun, it's smart, and it's pretty damn cool.

This is a very fascinating story. A guy who becomes the lone super-hero in a modern universe, uses his fame and wherewithall to become mayor of New York City prior to 9/11.

Ex Machina is about the political ramifications of a man who used to be a caped superhero now turned governor of New York. Good stuff.
