Y: The Last Man Vol. 1 - Unmanned

by: Brian K. Vaughan

July 24, 2003
When reading a long graphic novel series you have to usually remember that for the most part they get better as they go along. The first volume will lay the groundwork and this will often lead many to say that a comic is boring.

Y The Last Man Vol 1 is good enough to make you want to read the next one but has some serious flaws. For starters women are portrayed as rather one dimensional and Yorick can be a little annoying in his single minded attempt to get to his girlfriend when humanity is obviously in danger. On saying that
I raced through this book and while I did find it annoying in parts it is a good start and I will be picking up Volume 2.

Y: The Last Man Vol. 2 - Cycles

by: Brian K. Vaughan, Pia Guerra

I was a bit critical of Vol 1 but vol 2 is much much better. The foundations are all laid down and this is just a real page turner. Yorick is much more likeable in this vol. The interplay between Yorick and his sister is pretty interesting and I am excited to see how this turns out. When you finish this I was desperate to read Vol 3. The art is ok, nothing spectacular but serves its purpose.

Y: The Last Man: Whys and Wherefores: 10

by: Brian K. Vaughan, Pia Guerra

July 25, 2008
This was a much anticipated finale to a superb comic book. I started buying it some time ago from a recommendation and have been really impressed with the series. I have now collected all 10 of the graphic novels.

I ordered it way back in June on the pre-order system and saved a couple of quid because of it. However it was delivered way way past the actual release date and i have been sent a copy which has 20 pages printed upside down!

Amazon have really let me down with this one, the only reason i used Amazon for this is that i no longer have access to a comic book shop so i'm really disappointed to have had to wait almost a month longer than those lucky enough to be close to their local shop.

The Amazon service has really ... Read More:

Y: The Last Man Vol. 4 - Safeword

by: Brian K. Vaughan

December 17, 2004
I missed all the hype about this series, and just happened upon the trade paperbacks at the library. The premise, as the title says, is that some kind of plague spontaneously kills every male on earth at the same instant -- except a 20something slacker named Yorick and his monkey Ampersand. Following the events of the first three books, this fourth picks up the story of Yorick, his government agent bodyguard (Agent 355), and the geneticist (Dr. Mann) who might be able to solve save humanity. On their way to a genetics lab in California, they trek though Colorado, where they find the cabin of ex-Agent 711, an old friend of Agent 355. It's decided that Ampersand's wound (sustained in the last book) needs antibiotics, so Agent 355 and Dr. Mann head to town to find some, ... Read More:

Y: The Last Man Vol. 5 - Ring of Truth

by: Brian K. Vaughan

August 22, 2005
This is the best book of the Y The Last Man series yet. The first 4 have been excellent, but this tops them all. It ties up loose ends (why has Yorrick survived the plauge? Who was that ninja he saw in volume 3?) and then leaves you with some new questions, such as: Can Hero be trusted? Can we believe Agent 355? If you've been a half hearted follower so far, this will make you a full on fan.

Anyone who says comics are for kids should read this and realise that they are wrong.

Y: The Last Man Vol. 9 - Motherland

by: Brian K. Vaughan

I don't know why people aren't satisfied with Vaughan's explanation, if you ask me this book is a big improvement over the last volume. The whole Y journey is fantastic and this is no exception.

If you've got to volume 8, you have to read this one, so it makes criticism kind of moot. But it's not as bad as others are saying, in fact the writing here is as entertaining as any of the other volumes, whether you like the final explanation or not.
