The more the story delves into the exploits of The Great Machine, the more I tend to enjoy it. Not that I don't like the present timeline where Mr. Hundred is NYC's mayor, I just find the backstory more interesting at this point. Here we get the present storyline following a protest of the Iraq War, followed by the revelation of The Great Machine's nemesis - Pherson. The artwork has it's really weak moments, again I can't tell if it's necessarily the penciling or if the coloring just washes over certain people and makes them difficult to distinguish from one another. At it's best, the art is fairly conventional (which is not necessarily a complaint) with some weak, perhaps lazy moments in regards to detail. Overall, it's hard to rate these chapter by chapter when it's distinctly possible I'll feel different about certain aspects when I finally get to the end. That being said, I'm enjoying it thus far and will definitely continue reading.
