Ex Machina

In the early 2010s, Urban Comics brought Brian K. Vaughan and Tony Harris's acclaimed series Ex Machina to a French audience with this five-issue run. The story follows Mitchell Hundred, a civil engineer who gains the ability to communicate with and control machines after a strange accident, a power he uses to become New York City's first and only superhero before retiring to run for mayor. This collection adapts the original American series, blending political drama with superhero tropes and exploring the intersection of civic responsibility and extraordinary ability. It stands as a key example of the mature, character-driven storytelling that defined Vaughan's work during this period.
