I'm reading these out of order as I get them from the library (thank you Birmingham Libraries and your online reservation system - it's like a completely free version of Amazon), so I came to this having only read volume three, Fact v. Fiction. I'm usually fairly precious about reading things in order - it's a luxury of having had enough money to buy the things I want. But since making my boring vow to not buy any new books I've had to reappraise my way of going about things. It doesn't work out...more

The adventures of Mayor Hundred continue. I like the flashback style of filling in details from this story’s past. I think it works really well for this book. The mysterious source of Hundred’s power continues to wreak havoc in his life and the lives of those around him. Vaughan paces the action and the information in a fun, suspenseful way. The plot twists are surprising. And the way Hundred uses his power are always cool. It’s a cool power! You could turn off car alarms that wake...more

i gave four stars to this because meghan and i were making fun of josh for his various ratings for different trades of the same series...and because i was really, really excited from ex machina #1. still, good sophomore trade, vaughan cleverly finds ways to work his main character into superheroic situations while simultaneously selling Mayor Hundred as a completely plausible superhero. Anyone who thinks gays shouldn't be married are mean! check out "gay kids in the hall" on youtube...more

This volume really improves upon the first [and volume one was pretty good]. You learn more about Mitchell Hundred's powers and the New York politics works very well with the rest of the story. Can't wait to read the next one...

The ante gets upped in volume 2. Alien possession! Ritual disembowelment! All manner of unspeakable things at the base of the Brooklyn Bridge! And kudos to Brian K Vaughan for including the legalization of gay marriage sub-plot.

Again, more of the same. Not very interesting in the least bit. I actually despise the main character.
Oh also, what woman jokes about being raped in such a fashion? His dialogue is so obviously male-centric, it's silly.

The second volume improves immensely on the first. Mitchell Hundred really gains some much needed characterization and there is a lot more delving into what his powers can do as opposed to the first.

I compare it to the X-Files because the overarcing storyline is painfully slow in revealing itself. However, the political issues raised are completely enthralling in the interim.

You can pick this up and read it in one sitting. Oh yes, how I love a light and easy graphic novel for leisure reading. I'll read the whole series

I've only read through vol. 3 so far, but this volume is where the story gets really good. Can't wait to find out what happens. BKV rules.

Very cool, and mysterious and awesome. Again, something I'd like to re-read in its collected form.

Same sex marriage subplot to counter the alien possession one.
