Ex Machina #45

Written by Brian K. Vaughan

When this title is finished, it's going to be issues like this that I miss the most. Vaughan excels at starting new arcs. This issue addresses some big stuff - the white box Padilla begins to make her move, with the end goal of apparently killing everyone, while Hundred talks to Bradbury, the Commissioner, and Wylie, while they play catch, and break a window in Gracie Mansion.

Vaughan also starts some discussion of abortion, and whether or not the Mayor should weigh in on that most decisive of issues. Seeing as the gay marriage thing was generally accepted, it would be interesting to see how people would react to a mayor who provides women with abortion pills. I often wish Vaughan would ditch the world-threatening stuff, and just write about the issues.

Five issues left, and this title is as good as when it started.
