Where it came from
Ex Machina #9, titled 'Castlings', was published by WildStorm in 2005 as part of the ongoing political thriller series created by writer Brian K. Vaughan and artist Tony Harris. The series follows Mitchell Hundred, a former superhero turned mayor of New York City, and explores the intersection of post-9/11 sociopolitical tensions and costumed heroism. This specific issue continues the series' exploration of Hundred’s administration as he navigates the complexities of municipal governance, providing a grounding perspective on the cost and compromises of public office.
The visual identity of the series, meticulously crafted by Tony Harris, is noted for its cinematic realism and use of photo-referencing, which provides the grounded, gritty aesthetic that separates Ex Machina from traditional superhero comics. The narrative direction by Vaughan was widely praised during this period for its intellectual rigor and nuanced character development, solidifying the series' reputation as a critical success within the Vertigo and WildStorm imprints for its bold synthesis of political drama and speculative fiction.
