This was pretty good and a fast read. Been trying to find this volume for a while and lucked out at a local used book store. (Thanks Chop Suey!)
Anyway, I like how the sudden introduction of a character that has the answers we all have been wanting to know only hints at the truth. I would say it's Vaughan trolling but if he is he does it well. And with 4 books left, I have a feeling it's going to be a great resolution at the end.
Looking forward to the next volume.

Due to a strange visitor from another plane, power has been shut down all over New York & Hundred has lost his ability to talk to machines. We also get to see more of the role that The Great Machine had in 9/11.
Can't wait to read the next one!

This volume got a little more interesting, starting to hint at how Mitchell got his powers and what might be happening next... I find this far more interesting than US politics.

Glad to be able to finally catch up with this one. Forgot how much I liked this comic, as different as it continues to be.

WHY WON'T YOU TELL ME WHAT'S HAPPENIIIIIIIIIIIING, EX MACHINA? You just hinted at it so hard and then bailed.

An intriguing premise that never pans out. At least in this volume. Luckily, Vaughn is a good enough writer that he can get away with this type of thing from time to time.

A mysterious man from an alternate universe comes to deliver a warning to Mayor Hundred, causing a citywide blackout that takes the Great Machine powers with it. Combine that with more information on the events of this stories alternate 9/11 made this volume more interesting than the last one. Still a superhero comic for grown ups where the main villains are those that a mayor would face every day with a little of the fantastic thrown in.
