Ex Machina, Vol. 2 Tag by Brian K. Vaughan

The mysterious symbol from the object that superpowered Mitch, the series’ main character, is appearing all over. Driving people to do terrible things. There is an absolutely delicious element of conspiracy here.
There are horrific murders, plus the subject of gay marriage (still not legal in the depressingly recent past this book takes place in) to tackle. Mitch is going to be a busy man.
As always, flipping between timelines to create a well-rounded narrative, this book seems to be more beloved by the reader than its predecessor (at least, according to the reviews) but for me the two were very even in quality. Both interesting, both clever, both stunning rendered in gorgeous technicolor.
I’m still not won over. Not like by Vaughan’s other series. But it continues to be worth a read.
