Great series, this seems to split neatly into three story sections and manages a good balance between humour, action and plot development. Great character setup.

"With little power comes little responsibility.""If there's one thing I hate, it's crappy works of fiction that try to sound important by stealing names from the bard."For some reason Book One seemed to take its time getting started and it felt kinda dry. This did not. Yorick's cheese ball humor is awesome, the character dynamics are captivating, and the plot points seem less incidental and more consequential. I also found myself caring about the characters more, perhaps due to more development....

Although it's slower and a little less compelling than Book One (possibly due to the lack of an imposing and formidable villain like Victoria), it's still a well-written season with witty comedy and true heart. Excited to see where the series goes next!

(A-) 82% | Very GoodNotes: It uses peril as a vehicle for backstory, while its sparse backcountry landscape accentuates dread, desolation and loss.

I love this series!!! The dialogue is snappy, smart, and funny, the characters are multi-dimensional with their own distinct histories and motivations and the action is compelling and suspenseful. Not only is this an original idea, it is executed with real finesse and with a great sense of humor. Yorick is the perfect not-hero. He's just your regular guy, young, impulsive, mouthy, a little stunned sometimes but basically in possession of real heart and good intentions. It's not easy being the la...

Reading this series with GoodReadseses own delight, Old Woman Anne!Still not blown away by this series. The only character that's interesting and/or likeable is 355, and she's as much as a cypher as most of the characters, except in her case that cypherness is part of her character.I feel the series (at least up til now) has weak narrative thrust, because their goals are so vague.. I get it, we're off to California, because Dr Mann needs her laboratory.. but why? Why can't she use the laboratory...

PROBS 3.5 stars. I liked it more than book one. There was a lot more drama and excitement which I really loved and a lot of the plot points took me by surprise. Will definitely continue the series.

Mostly a really great volume. This one covers the landing of the space shuttle which leads to some surprising ending that I didn't fully expect but excited to see how it ends. The middle had a two parter about a show actors were putting on. It was okay though the ending was funny as hell. The last half is the best part. One dealing with Yorick staying with a friend of Agent 355 and learning a truth about himself. And then the crew having to cross state lines but dealing with a 8 woman team stopp...

3-1/2 starsI'm not sure I have a ton to say about this installment. The story is interesting enough to keep me reading, and the artwork is appealing, even in the scenes spattered with blood. I personally found the Arizona/southern belle ladies of the militia story line to be absolutely chilling. I do admire how this series does an excellent job of reflecting all the various kinds of women there are, and filling its world with them (why, almost as if women were just regular people!). On the other...

Still not feeling it. I liked the second book of Y even less than the first one, because at least the first one had some originality going for it. In the second, Yorick is still the only male human alive in the world, and Ampersand is still the only male monkey. And the world still revolves around them. They still haven't reached California, and on the way ridiculous things happen. Mostly the women seem extremely horny, in shape and wear not many clothes. Even though some of those women say thin...

This deluxe edition book two collects issues #11-23, and I liked this installment even less than the first one. Let me try to articulate why.As I've said in my review of the first volume, just because all but one man dies, it's not as if the world stops turning. In this volume, we meet more groups of women, some of whom add absolutely nothing to the plot, other than as a means to show some barely clothed voluptuous bodies. If such a apocalypse were to occur, I'd agree that not all women would re...

Man these characters have gone through hell and back. They are trying to get from the east coast all the way to San Francisco. There is a doctor with that and she has a lab there. They are hoping to do some experiments with the last man’s blood to try and maybe fix the no men problem. But what a damn journey. They have ran into all kinds of drama. Every turn, you never know what the next BS situation that are going to come across. This book definitely hooked me in and I was definitely enjoying t...

One Small Step (#11-15). The third arc examines another interesting consequence of the "Y" die-off: what if there were men in space who didn't succumb to the plague (or whatever it was)? It's an interesting idea that lets Vaughan really expand the scope of his story, but on the downside it takes time away from Yorick and the rest of our protagonists. Despite that, it maintains some nice tension and keeps connecting up threads from the first volume, this time in the form of the Israelis. In the e...

This was more of everything I loved about the first two volumes of this story. It made me giggle, turn pages in hyper-speed and just have a good time altogether. I felt like there was less depth to it this time around. That doesn't mean that there wasn't loads of stuff happening: a Russian Soyuz capsule is coming down, carrying three passengers: one woman and two men. Men, guys, men! We also get confronted with Yorick's survivors guilt and our group running against a roadblock in Arizona in form...

The story is developing really well. Loving the characters even if still a little cliched. Already got the next book.

3.5 stars. This is the second installment of the graphic novel Y: The Last Man. I didn’t enjoy it quite as much as the first. There are a couple of parts that seem out of place and disjointed from the rest of the narrative. I had to flip back and make sure I hadn’t missed any pages.The characters are all there, 355, Dr. Mann, Yorick and Ampersand, with a couple new and interesting introductions. The other thing that I think was missing from this book were fleshed out villains. In Book 1 we had H...

In “Y: The Last Man, The Deluxe Edition, Book Two”: The Israelis, tasked with finding Yorrick, have followed him to a nowhere town in Kansas, which also happens to be where the three survivors (two male and one female) of the Soyuz Space Station have programmed their escape capsule to land; meanwhile, since movies and TV and most of the nation’s electrical grid are nonexistent since 50% of the population died, traveling acting troupes are the new big thing; Yorrick’s monkey, Ampersand, is picked...

Introduction: After reading the first book of Brian K. Vaughan’s classic graphic novel, “Y: The Last Man,” I just had to read more from this Eisner Award winning series! So, I finally picked up the second book to “Y: The Last Man” and it was just as INTENSE, HEARTBREAKING AND EXCITING as the last volume! What is this story about? Yorick Brown, along with his new allies, Agent 355 and Dr. Allison Mann, still embark on the journey to reach Dr. Mann’s lab in San Francisco so that way, Dr. Man

I enjoyed this one even more than the last one! There are still some issues of backwards transphobic comments and some other problematic dialogue. Aside from that, this series has quickly become one of my favorites!Yourick continues to develop into a more complex character. It was painful watching him go through 711's suicide intervention. The scenes with him and PJ were adorable and his relationship with 355 continues to interest me. Their partnership has clearly grown into a friendship and it'...

I guess I can proudly admit to becoming full on nerdgirl now with this comic/graphic novel love affair that I seem to have begun. Still not into video games, but there's hope for me yet.I'm loving these. I didn't love this one quite as much as book 1, but I think that's because the first one opened up with the cool premise, intro to cool characters, et cetera et cetera, while this one has really just propagated what I loved in the first one. Every now and again I'm struck by the somewhat irksome...
