    EX MACHINA THE FIRST HUNDRED DAYS TP

    Written by Brian K. Vaughan Art by Tony Harris & Tom Feister Cover by Harris From Wizard Magazine's Top Ten writer Brian K. Vaughan (Y: THE LAST MAN) and Eisner Award-winning artist Tony Harris (STARMAN) comes a collection of one of the most critically acclaimed new series of the year, featuring a gorgeous new cover by Harris! THE FIRST HUNDRED DAYS collects the first five issues of this stellar ongoing political thriller, including the extra-sized origin of the super-heroic Great Machine, as well as the 4-part 'State of Emergency.'

    Set in our modern-day world, EX MACHINA tells the story of civil engineer Mitchell Hundred, who becomes America's first living, breathing super-hero after a strange accident gives him amazing powers. Eventually Mitchell tires of risking his life merely to maintain the status quo, retires from masked crimefighting and runs for mayor of New York City, winning by a landslide. But Mayor Hundred has to worry about more than just budget problems and an antagonistic governor, especially when a mysterious hooded figure begins assassinating plow drivers during the worst snowstorm in the city's history!

    The rumor mill has started grinding out the notion that we'll be seeing a movie adaptation of Alan Moore's V for Vendetta. This is yet another comic book masterpiece by Moore that will undoubtedly be butchered into unrecognizability by Hollywood. Color me dubious.
