Where it came from
Ex Machina #23, released in 2006, serves as part of the acclaimed political science-fiction series written by Brian K. Vaughan and illustrated by Tony Harris. The series follows Mitchell Hundred, a former superhero who retires to become the Mayor of New York City in the wake of the September 11 attacks. The narrative is noted for its grounded, gritty approach to the superhero genre, treating the protagonist's powers as a secondary element to the complexities of municipal governance and political maneuvering.
The aesthetic of the series is defined by Tony Harris's photo-referenced art style, which lends a sense of realism to the urban landscapes and character interactions. Issue #23 is part of the 'Ex Cathedra' arc, a pivotal moment in the series that explores the consequences of Hundred's political choices. Upon its release, the comic received praise for its sophisticated script and ability to balance high-stakes fantasy with realistic portrayals of bureaucratic frustration and public life.
