I’m so happy I finally started this series. Brian K. Vaughan is my favorite comic writer and this story does not disappoint on any level!
Not to be mistaken for Ex Machina by by Alex Garland. Full colour. Review at end of series (Book Five)
Jow! Zo wijs. Een stripverhaal waar ge middenin valt en waar de held tegelijkertijd een antiheld is. Superman en SpiderMan inéén. Man met rare gave wordt burgemeester van New York en dat alles op geheel aanvaardbare en contemporaine manier. Een strip van niveau en eerder Europees dan Amerikaans getekend. Aanrader.
