A review by jakekilroy
Ex Machina, Vol. 8: Dirty Tricks by Brian K. Vaughan

4.0

I dug this one not just for that cover (which rules and attracted my interest), but it gives a personal quality to why The Great Machine mattered. This series does a good job of using 9/11 as a theme to only barely support the character when need be without exploiting it. It lends itself well, and it makes a different because it's rooted in hope and cause and the impossible struggle of Americans (all within the realm of this sly take on superheroes).
