And that's when the real weirdness begins.
Before it's over, the lives of Mayor Hundred and everyone around him will be turned upside down and inside out--and the very fate of humanity will turn on his actions. Will the man who stopped the second plane on 9/11 be able to resist the incalculably greater threat now looming on the horizon? Or will he prove to be the ultimate example of the corrupting nature of power?
Science fiction thrills collide with explosive political drama in this critically acclaimed tale from renowned writer Brian K. Vaughan and legendary artist Tony Harris--assembled here for the first time in a single hardcover volume! Ex Machina: The Complete Series Omnibus collects all 50 issues of the Eisner Award-winning title as well as the four Ex Machina Specials (featuring guest artists John Paul Leon, Chris Sprouse and Karl Story), and includes an introduction by New York Times bestselling author Brad Meltzer and a special behind-the-scenes section detailing the series' unique development.
Tony Harris is best known as the artist on the critically acclaimed series Starman written by James Robinson for DC Comics. He is currently drawing Ex Machina written by Brian K. Vaughan for WildStorm. His intricate Art Deco-influenced style melds with photorealism to create a new look for this very different series which features the super-powered mayor of New York City in a post-9/11 world.
