‘Ex Machina’ is art imitating ... art?

I’ve told you before how much I admire ‘Ex Machina,’ and I wanted to let you know about a fun surprise in the newest issue, No. 40, which hit stands today. (Stop reading now if you don’t want any cats let out of any bags. ...)

The story, written by Brian K. Vaughan and drawn by Tony Harris, finds Mayor Mitchell Hundred seeking collaborators for an autobiographical project -- a graphic-novel account of his first term as the chief executive of New York City. The final few pages of the issue have some guest creators drop by, and they are none other than writer Garth Ennis and artist Jim Lee. Nice!
