Ex Machina, the Eisner Award-winning series that Entertainment Weekly voted 'One of the 10 Best Fiction Books of 2005,' tells the story of Mitchell Hundred, who becomes the Great Machine, America's first superhero, after a strange accident gives him amazing powers. Eventually tiring of risking his life merely to maintain the status quo, Mitchell retires from masked crime-fighting and becomes the mayor of New York City.
In this volume, a shocking tragedy strikes an Iraq War protest in downtown Manhattan, and Mayor Hundred must choose between the liberty of his constituents and the security of his city. Plus, a tale from the past finally reveals the origin of his mysterious archenemy, Jack Pherson.
