Ex Machina #1

"Chapter One" of Ex Machina #1, written by Brian K. Vaughan and illustrated by Tony Harris with inks by Tom Feister, colors by JD Mettler, and letters by Jared K. Fletcher, kicks off a gripping political sci-fi tale with a quiet moment that quickly spirals into tension. When a routine portrait of Lincoln becomes a media sensation, a sudden promotion and a string of mysterious snow plow driver deaths set the stage for escalating stakes, while a shadowy figure from the past urges the protagonist to return to a role he once left behind. The cover, by Tony Harris, captures the issue’s uneasy atmosphere with its striking, detailed artwork.
