I have the first 4 trades, are there more after that?

I love the series, it's a well-executed, original idea, and he deals with political issues in a fun and inventive way, so I'd be elated to hear that there are more.

The fifth one just came out last week, still have yet to read it. It's a great series though.

yeah, it is, I love everything about it, and there's none of the problems that other comics are having nowadays, and talk about a useful power, wow.

volume 5 is out? awesome, I'll tell my store to order it. I could just get it online, but I must support my local comic shop, or I won't have anywhere to talk comics with live people.

not that this isn't awesome thanks for your help!

Second only to Fables as the best book on the market, and yes, the fifth TPB "Smoke, Smoke" came out this past week. Great goddamn arc that one.

Do you mean 'Ex Machina' by Brian K. Vaughn, which is indeed most excelent?
I can't find mention of a book called Deus Ex Machina anywhere.

Yes, Ex Machina is the one I mean. I'm just used to saying "Deux ex Machina" because that's the full expression, it originated when the Greeks put on plays, the ones playing gods wore harnesses, and the backstage people lifted them so it looked like they were flying or ascending, and the harness was called "deux ex machina" or "god in the machine"
