"The series, written by Brian K. Vaughan and illustrated by Tony Harris, follows Mayor Hundred as he retires from crime-fighting to pursue public office. While Ex Machina retains some superhero elements, the stories draw heavily on politics. Unlike Green Lantern, this hero has to worry about budgets, controversial art in public museums and debates over school vouchers."—The New York Times
"Compelling entertainment with fiery thoughtfulness."—Entertainment Weekly
"Fresh. . . poignant."—Playboy
"Vaughn intertwines superpowers with nasty backroom dealings and quirky N.Y. political history."—Washington Post
