Ex Machina

In this single-issue series from Éditions USA, writer Brian K. Vaughan and artist Tony Harris present a self-contained story that distills the core premise of Ex Machina: a civil engineer gains the ability to communicate with machines after a freak accident, then uses his powers as a superhero before becoming the mayor of New York City. Teshi Bharucha co-writes this installment, which captures the series’ signature blend of political drama, sci-fi mystery, and character-driven storytelling. Though brief, this issue offers an accessible entry point into Vaughan and Harris’s acclaimed exploration of power, responsibility, and the intersection of public service and superheroics.
