Ex Machina

review 1: Spoiler warning. I really enjoyed this entire series. Well written. The story moves along well. Good tension. Good pacing. Characters change and grow. Right up until the final issue. The main character does a bunch of things that seem to go against the way he's behaved for the last 10 books. I'm left with a pointed feeling of WTF? Don't get me wrong, I'm all for some delicious ambiguity at the end of a complex series. I'm fine with an open ending, and a character that undergoes growth and change.... But this was just abrupt and confusing, it seemed to undercut the rest of the story, rather than compliment it. I've read it a couple times now and I'm still unsure what it's supposed to mean. It was an odd, disappointing end to an otherwise enjoyable s... moretory.
review 2: This is the final chapter of the series, and there are parts of this that I liked quite a lot. Once again Mitchell Hundred takes on the guise of "The Great Machine", this time to save all of "our" Earth from an invasion of monstrosities from another dimension. Indeed, it becomes clear that his power was bestowed upon him by these very creatures with the hope that he would aid them in taking over our world. Much like Mr. Vaughan's previous series, "Y:The Last Man", I was disappointed in the low key ending. I know the whole point was to make an ending that doesn't conform to the traditional: good guy saves the day and everyone is happy finale. But it didn't make it any more palatable to see Mitch alienate Bradbury, kill Kremlin and end up working for the Republicans. less
