A retired superhero (The Great Machine, due to his ability to control machinery) decides to run for public office, and becomes mayor of New York. The superhero thing is mostly window dressing for West Wing-style political theatre; one of the major conflicts in this volume, for example, deals with an artist that received a grant from the city creating some ... let's call it “racially explosive” artwork, and the fallout from that. It's an interesting premise, although this volume doesn't go much beyond setting that premise up; given how much I love Vaughan's other work (Y, Runaways, Pride of Baghdad), though, I'll definitely be back for more.
