In this latest collection of superpower politics (collecting issues #26-29 of the regular comic plus ancillary miniseries Ex Machina: Inside the Machine) New York City Mayor Mitchell Hundred has to deal with a strangely familiar being who might just be a “Strange visitor from another Worldâ€. Not only does he (it?) arrive knowing far too many of the super-hero-turned civic leader’s darkest secrets, but he (probably not ‘it?’) precipitates a power-cut that blacks out most of Eastern North America – and that includes Canada!
Edgy, savvy, unpredictable and addictive, the ongoing exploits of the ‘Best Politician America Never Had’ are a continuing source of delight for we jaded comic fans and Ex Machina remains the smartest funny-book series being published today. If this can’t make the casual reader of comics into a slavering fan-boy then they deserve to stay dull, uninformed and disenfranchised.

This is not directly related to this book of the series, but nevertheless it is about Ex Machina.
I got a really nice surprice when I browsed Amazon today! Apparently DC/Wildstorm has decided that this excellent book need the deluxe treatment 😀

This must be really new because there is nothing about this on DC’s own page (I wasn’t able to find it anyway).
From the page count it looks like this is the first 2 TPB’s (issue 1-10) and some extra material.
I am REALLY looking forward to June 3rd (if that date sticks…)
