This volume flip flops between past and present as some of Mitchell's past and his accident which resulted in him being able to Ex Machina: Book 2 communicate with machines come to light. After his accident, Mitchell Hundred is left with only a mysterious tag from the bomb that caused it. This tag displays a weird green symbol, resembling a Chinese character, that nobody seems to f I liked this volume much more than the first volume and found it to have a much more cohesive and thrilling story arc. This tag displays a weird green symbol, resembling a Chinese character, that nobody seems to figure out. Jackson Georges, agent of a secret code-breaking branch of the NSA, pays Mitchell a visit in right after he reveals his true identity to the public Mitchell used his new found superpower to create an alter-ego superhero he dubs "The Great Machine. Together they try to crack the code of Mitchell's accident, using the tag Ex Machina: Book 2 their only clue. Unfortunately, Mitchell has decided at this point to run for Mayor of New York City, spending more time campaigning than playing with puzzles. Jackson resents him for not saving everyone and turns into a paranoid recluse, more concerned with conspiracy-theories than his job or his family. We switch to the present, where the mysterious symbol is popping up on subway walls that also seem to double for myserious deaths and suicides in the city. Mitchell keeps it on his radar, but is also politician-izing by deciding to officiate the gay wedding of a NYC firefighter and his partner, years before it is legal ore recognized. When the victims of the subway attacks are Ex Machina: Book 2 to be Jackson, his family, and his dog, Mitchell gets thrust into the center of it all again. I thought the blending of action and politics would be clunky, but Vaughn weaves these story arcs together seamlessly. The action is gory and fun and I enjoyed the politics as well. Mitchell is Ex Machina: Book 2 the "good guy," never committing to any political party and sticking to his own moral compass if ONLY this could happen in real life. He fights evil as The Great Machine, as remnants of his past still greet him daily, but he also fights his own political battles as mayor. I loved the blending of the two as two very separate sides of Mitchell and the two lives he leads and find it very well done. There still could be a bit more action for my Ex Machina: Book 2, but nevertheless this was an entertaining and fun read. Ex Machina: Book 2 also was slightly disappointed that more questions were left unanswered about the mysterious symbol and Mitchell's past, but there are 8 more volumes, so I guess all in due time. I also miss Kremlin from the first volume who was my favorite character. A lot. But I'll stop griping now because I did enjoy this and my gripes won't prohibit me from enjoying more. And there seems to be a bit of a romance blooming between Mitchell and a somewhat annoying reporter. I hope this is not the case as Suzanne, the reporter, reminds me a little of But time shall tell. I'm looking forward to the next volume. View all 3 comments. Aug 26, Donovan rated it really liked it. What a ride! BKV cranks up the graphic violence and mystery in volume two. Mystery in two ways: what is the symbol that gave The Great Machine his powers, and why is it making people go crazy? Did he have to? But I appreciate his boldness and progressivism in addressing these subjects. Again, the artwork is amazing. It's like Sean Phillips if colored by Matt Hollingsworth. Tony Harris provides surgic What a ride! Tony Harris provides surgically clean lines, Tom Feister dramatic inks, and JD Mettler deep but somehow arbitrary colors. The artwork feels like A Scanner Darkly it's so crazy. My only complaint: I hate The Great Machine's costume. It's the dumbest, dorkiest thing I've ever seen. It's like bondage leather meets steampunk meets sky diving. I just hope this was intentional and satirical because it's terrible.

I always love Vaughan's sense of humour And even better, his potty mouth: We're all adults here - and the ones who aren't, aren't exactly hearing this kind of language for the first time from funny books. Vaughan plays with our expectations of someone Ex Machina: Book 2 politics into their stories, so that we never entirely know where he stands, and it's both mature and infuriating at the same time: In a way this series has the same workmanlike feeling of reading Gotham Central. Both series written by great w I always love Vaughan's sense of humour And even better, his potty mouth: We're all adults here - and the ones who aren't, aren't exactly hearing this kind of language for the first time from funny Ex Machina: Book 2. Both series written by great writers, both great tales that include encapsulated main stories that end in each trade collection and slow-burn superplots that trickle throughout the series. Aug 22, Aldo Haegemans rated it it was amazing. Much better then the first volume. This would'v been a much better first volume. I'm glad i sticked with it, if it was the same as the first volume i might have given up. But Ex Machina: Book 2 again I bought 8 volumes for a bargain. Jul 09, Licha rated it liked it Shelves: graphic-novelseries. Vol 2 of I hope this doesn't turn into a "tackle the political issue of the week" series. Recap to remind myself what this volume was about. Jakcson, his child, Ex Machina: Book 2 and dog are found murdered, both Jackson and his dog evisc Vol 2 of Jakcson, his child, wife and dog are found murdered, both Jackson and his dog eviscerated and hung inside the NY tunnel. So far it is still enjoyable to read, but this problem-of-the-week per volume is going to get old real fast if that's where this series is heading. The drawings are ok, but I'm not a big fan of the dead-pan stares of pretty much every character. I'm also not sure whether Mitch is suspposed to be attractive or not I'm sure as the main character he is Ex Machina: Book 2 to be because his face changes noticeably from panel to panel.
