This special edition reprints the Eisner Award-nominated debut issue of EX MACHINA, written by Brian K. Vaughan and illustrated by Tony Harris & Tom Feister. It features a sensational brand-new sketch cover by Harris.

"Tony, Tom, JD and I spent almost a year developing every aspect of this first issue, and we're still tremendously proud of it," says Vaughan.

Check out what the critics are saying about EX MACHINA:

"Brian K. Vaughan's masterful mix of super-heroics with politics blends seamlessly into an engrossing tale of power versus super-powers, with a city of 10 million caught in the middle." — Wizard Magazine

"Terrifically intriguing." — Entertainment Weekly

"Intertwines super-powers with nasty backroom dealings and quirky N.Y. political history" — Washington Post

"Set somewhere between The West Wing and an alternative future, this tale asks the question: What if the mayor of New York was a super-hero? Vaughan (Y: THE LAST MAN) and Harris (STARMAN) answer with intelligence and dash... This vastly entertaining first collection should have readers eager to read future volumes." — Publishers Weekly

"[EX MACHINA] has become a surprise hit." — New York Daily News

"Engaging... a fun ride." — New York Resident

"The book is sprinkled with fascinating tidbits about the history of New York amidst a sea of everyday issues that Hundred and his staff have to deal with, from trash-transfer stations to a difficult governor... one of the best comics to come out in a good while..." — Nashville City Paper

"Inventive." — The Newark Star Ledger
