Ex Machina, Vol. 4: March to War by Tom Feister, Chris Sprouse, J.D. Mettler, Karl Story, Tony Harris, Brian K. Vaughan

4.0

4.5/5

Volume 4 bounced back from the previous entry in Ex Machina. It's more enjoyable when the heroics and politics seamlessly intertwine, which happens when Hundred is called upon to use his powers to hunt the perpetrator of an attack on an anti-war rally. Additionally, The Great Machine's archenemy Pherson is introduced in these issues.

Other topics debated in March to War include the efficacy and morality of the death penalty, how far one can suspend civil liberties in the name of security, and xenophobia. Some pretty heavy lifting goes into these issues and Vaughn handles them with aplomb. Volume 4 has definitely been my favorite of the series so far.
