Because it's in and about New York City, I knew 'Ex Machina' was going to have to continually mix the mundane and the fantastic.

You'd never be able to convince someone to give you money to do a bilingual story where you're not translating half of it - you'd drive people crazy. But in comics, you can do whatever your heart desires.
