Like most superheroes, Mitchell Hundred was just a regular guy working as a civil engineer - but when he encounters a glowing light under the Brooklyn Bridge, he develops the ability to talk to machines, and everything changes. Soon enough, Hundred is elected mayor of New York City in a landslide victory, but he’s got his work cut out for him: there’s a public relations nightmare brewing due to an exhibit at the Brooklyn Museum, New York has been crippled by a blizzard, and to top that off, a serial killer is going around knocking off all the plow drivers. Author Brian Vaughn cleverly adapts real news stories to a world where superheroes exist, but are forbidden by the NSA to discuss their powers, and also does a bangup job creating a charismatic cast of characters. This is the first volume of the Eisner Award-winning series.
