Ex Machina #42

Ex Machina #42 brings Brian K. Vaughan's acclaimed political superhero series into the second chapter of "Ring Out The Old," with Tony Harris's cover setting a striking, tension-filled scene. A hooded, robed figure extends an open hand toward a heavily armed man in an orange helmet and goggles, both set against a bold graphic backdrop of interlocking gears — and looming above them, the silhouette of a prowling tiger rendered in deep purple. Harris's design work is as sharp as ever, blending the series' trademark mix of the mechanical and the mysterious into a single arresting image.
