Booklist Review

In the fifth Ex Machina arc, New York mayor Mitchell Hundred, who turned to politics after a brief stint as a superhero who could control machines, contends with a string of home invasions by a robber masquerading as a firefighter and ponders whether to spend political capital to overturn the city's draconian drug laws. It's a testament to Vaughan's way of humanizing the superhero genre that the political wonkery is more diverting than the times that Hundred uses his superpowers. Tony Harris' stylish comics realism conjures an ideal context for Vaughan's character-based stories. --Gordon Flagg Copyright 2007 Booklist
