The first four issues in this volume cover a protest against the Iraq, and its consequences. Mitch supports the protestors right to march, redardless of his own opinion about the war. The protest is gassed and Journal is hospitalized. Unreasonable searches and seizures and racial profiling happen. Commissioner Angotti breaks her own rule and wants Mitch to use his powers to help catch the perp. In other news, Mitch and Suzanne's relationship (or whatever it is) comes to an end.
The two specials cover a two-part flashback to the brief but important career of the Great Machine's archenemy, Jack Pherson. As Mitch can talk to machines, Pherson can talk to animals. This flashback to 2001 is framed by a present day (2003) radio broadcast in which Mitch ironically (you'll see why it's ironic when you read it) explains his opposition to the death penalty. The more you think about this comic, the more you'll think "okay, how much of this is what Mitch really believes, and how much is just political posturing?"
Mature rating: a couple panels of nudity (well, Journal in a transparent nightie), a couple panels of gore, and several naughty words.
The narration interleaves flashback cuts between the one-time superhero and the here-and-now fall guy in the mayor's seat, desperate to hide that fact that he's still pretty super. I'm not nuts about the jumps, for several reasons, but the artist has a right to draw as he sees fit. And, with his Chaykin-esque crispness, that averages pretty high. A few technical points in the story nagged too, like how hard acetone is to get (try Home Depot) or how fast symptoms of ricin poisoning set in. Those points only itched, though, they never became painful.
I like this series, on the whole. I enjoy the art and the premise, both of which season credibility only lightly with fantasy. The result is a tasty treat that I plan to come back to.

I love a good story.
this has neither.
it has GREAT ART and a GREAT STORY!!!!!
the characters are believable, flawed with good intentions.
the dynamics of the art and the story are just shy of utter perfection!
every issue was amazing and wish brian vaughn had more resources to continue making creations like this
This volume experienced a noticeable and substantial improvement - particularly over the third volume (which I didn't care for). There are essentially two stories in this trade. The first deals with Mayor Hundred trying to support the rights of protesters of the Iraqi war while at the same time trying to keep them safe from terrorist themed attacks. I thought Vaughn did a fine job of playing with the balance between these two sometimes conflicting goals (political freedom and physical security) without sinking to the use of clichés.
The second story gives us some back story on Hundred's nemesis. This portion of the trade was not as strong as the prior story arc, but still did an excellent job of tying together Hundred's super-hero exploits with his subsequent political career.
Either the book spiked in quality, or I'm just finally coming around - but I really enjoyed this trade paperback. I hope the next volume continues in the same direction.
