Ex-Machina #38 - WildStorm


This whole story-line seems to have to do with that guy that popped in and out of this book a couple of issues ago. You know the one in the make-shift space-suit. Personally I think it's either a future version of Kremlin . . or a future version of the Mayor himself. Anyways, something about the events that's going on right now is going to change him. I'm not sure what or how, but this cryptic fellow seems to be all about getting the Mayor back on track. We already know that this Trouble person . . the girl that keeps doing all the various publicity stunts . . is someone who became infatuated with him when he was the Great Machine. I also think she has something to do with the media. I'm not sure if she's a reporter, or what, but she's in there somehow. And, also somehow, she's connected with the time-travelling guy . . if that's what he really does. Also the whole treasonous activity of January and Kremlin seem to be coming to a head. That stuffs been going on in the background ever since her sister got killed. So I think she's gathered up quite a bit of information since then. I'm just not sure what Kremlin's plans are to do with it. And now the Mayor has it in his head that he might be able to affect more change if he were to become a Presidential candidate. I can't wait to see how that all works out. Wasn't it only a couple of issue ago that he was accused of being the anti-Christ? That's a big step since then. As always Brian K Vaughan and Tony Harris are doing an exemplary job with this book. To bad it doesn't get more critical acclaim because it really is that good.
