I love this book. I absolutely love the look and the feel of it. Of course most of that is because of the creative anchors that have been with this book since it's inception . . . Brian K Vaughan and Tony Harris. They had a distinct vision in mind when they created this book 5 years ago, and have yet to sway an inch from the plan, and goal, that they created. It's really been a phenomenal journey. It's hard to describe, or do a play-by-play on this book because the nature of the story is to show how all the various times in Mayor Hundred's life, or career, are interconnected and responsible for future consequences. This girl that's been in the last couple of issues is a girl that he met in passing when he was helping out New York City during 9/11. At the time she was a tour guide, and now . . now she's a political activist. But it's through her actions, and the Mayor's when he was the Great Machine, that he is offered a political position when the GOP is in town for their 2004 convention. However, that future potential seems to be what Kremlin is afraid of most, so he's given a reporter, Suzanne Padilla, a classified file on the esteemed Mayor. I think all of this is connected to the Mayor's aide's death, January. That's how the story is written . . and goes. Everything . . past, present and future . . all seems to be intertwined and dependent upon each other. The biggest thing I get from this series is that you have to be cognizant of every choice or decision you make. And not just from your point of view but from the point of view of the people that decision affects. After reading this book, it really makes you do some soul searching of your own. I think it's been a fantastic series.
