A review by stevenk
Ex Machina, Vol. 5: Smoke, Smoke by Brian K. Vaughan, Tom Feister, J.D. Mettler

3.0

Two plot lines involving smoke, a home invader posing as a fireman and Hundred's views on drugs and drug policy, are told with intermingled episodes from the Great Machine's past and a sense of frustration on the part of all of the characters. I think that's why I didn't like this volume as much as the earlier ones, the lack of optimism that Hundred has had through this story.
