A review by molokov
Ex Machina, Vol. 10: Term Limits by Tony Harris, Brian K. Vaughan
1.0
Overall, the climax of this story wasn't bad - but it still felt like there should have been *more*. The final "resolution" issue was just awful. McCain, seriously?
I think that this whole series wasn't really for me, especially in the light of the horrible state of US politics since it was set (1999-2005) and published (2008ish). Things were just too "real" which is not what I want out of a fantasy comic, even one that has political undertones. I'll reiterate what I said in my Vol 1 review: Transmetropolitan had far better political commentary, and because it was all allegorical (and not based in the real world/current day), it could go so much further with issues.
