Ex Machina: The Deluxe Edition, Vol. 5 by Jim Clark, J.D. Mettler, John Paul Leon, Tony Harris, Jared K. Fletcher, Brian K. Vaughan
4.0
One of those books that leave you with that longing for more. Brian K. Vaughan has magnificently outdone himself with this one.
The story is about Mitchell Hundred, just your average civil engineer. One day he comes across this alien electronic device which sort of leaves him with the ability to communicate with machines, earthly machines of course. :)
Fast forward to two years after that, he decides to run for mayor of New York city, because hey, he thinks he can do more good from inside the office. That's where the story takes off.
The story is very well knit, generally focusing on the office matters and the predicaments Mitchell faces as the mayor, all the while incorporating some flashbacks here and there of his past heroic life.
The penultimate pages are the ones you really need to be on the lookout for, cause that's where the story takes a sweeping turn, and probably leaves you questioning your convictions. :)
