Really enjoying this. You think its going one way but then it goes somewhere else. Alot of new characters and plot developments. Always ends on a great cliffhanger.
Funny and exciting. Great series!
3.5 stars. Now it’s time to get off the boat and look for the member of their crew who got taken. This book didn’t have that energy that book 2 and 3 had. This one seemed a little less electric. Some of the story beats weren’t quite as intriguing. Still decent, it’s just that books 2 and 3 had this thing going for it I can’t put into words that this book was missing. We got a lot of backstories tho. Got them for 355, Dr. Mann and the crazy Israeli general chick. There was a character that Yorick...
Overview review on the whole series here.
(A-) 84% | Very GoodNotes: Its flashbacks shine in muted tones and unshaded, retro art; rooting origin stories in loss, betrayal and lonesomeness.
These books seem to get darker and darker as they go on. I loved it regardless. We get to see a little more of the character’s backstories here and I’m confident saying they’ve grown on me as much as they would have in a regular novel.The artwork is fantastic. I love seeing the slow evolution of the characters over time and I’m glad they don’t stay stagnant.Highly recommended.
In Book 4 of “Y: The Last Man”, Brian Vaughan and Pia Guerra’s addictively exciting and thought-provoking science fiction graphic novel about a young man who has survived the global destruction of every male member of every species, some Australian hack reporter snaps a dick-pic of Yorrick and plans to sell it on the AP news wire unless Agent 355 can get to her first; Yorrick’s sister, Hero, finds one-night-stand-Beth (not fiancee-Beth) with a bun in the oven; we learn a bit more about Agent 355...
This was more in line with what drew me to the series. While I still feel like unnecessary slurs were thrown in and there's still some unfortunate, problematic themes, it's still a very enjoyable book. Yourick and 355's friendship is one of he best aspects of this series and they grow even closer in this book. I love getting to see 355's childhood and the fact that she doesn't fall into the "independent don't need no man" stereotype often applied to black women. She's strong both physically and
After hating deluxe editions 1, 2 and 3, I wasn't expecting much from this one, but it turned out to be marginally better. For one thing lesser half naked women. For another, much less Yorick. Which is a good thing, because after 3 long years of being the last man in a world of women hasn't made him any less of a prick. You'd think he would have changed his attitude a bit. It just seems like back to back issues rather than character growth over a period. Anyway, a lot of this deluxe edition focu...
The series now becomes a true globe-trotting adventure in this volume as Yorick and the gang make their way around the world in an effort to not only reunite Yorcik with his girlfriend, but also hopefully save the world while they're at it. This volume really amps up the action as well. Such immersive work!
My least favorite of the four I've read, but it was still good enough to read in a single sitting.A lot more backstory. A lot less humor.I saw Yorick's penis. 4 Stars
Issues #7 and #8 intrude a whole bunch of characters and even a whole new country setting: Japan.However, I just kept turning page after page and thinking to myself where the hell it was going and why should I care.
Getting close to the finish line! One more volume to go. Book 4 was better than 3.
3.75/5 stars
This series is really great. It's super immersive and I always get swept up by the story. I love Yorrick, he's adorable but also a complete idiot. Keen to continue on to the final book!
This review goes for the whole series. The comic is seemingly smart enough and self aware enough to be critical of its own misogyny. Or, it ought to be: it's full of bright, funny criticism of our society's misogyny and the entrenched, toxic objectification of women's bodies. Why, then, is there so much gratuitous objectification of nearly every female character? Why does every woman have a body of impossible proportions? Why is there so much senseless nudity? Either the comic isn't smart enough...
See my review for Deluxe Volume 5 (coming soon!) for final thoughts on this whole series/novel.
This is the weakest Y volume to date, with piles of secret origins that aren't insightful enough and two modest stories. Fortunately, the later story is the better of the two, hopefully suggesting that the comic is gaining momentum again, heading toward its finale.Paper Dolls (#37-39). Yorick stops in Australia; hi-jinx ensue. I guess it's nice to see a story about the possibility of Yorick being outed, but there's overall not a lot of bite to this story, other than the nice opportunity to conti...
The saga continues...Usually the boys are my favorite characters in books, but in this instance there's only the one;) And quite frankly he's the most boring character in this series! ((For awhile he was being drawn with a beard... They should have kept that up! Without it, he sorta reminds me of Archie!))I don't have much new to add, somebody/somebodies keeps flagging my reviews for their spoilers even tho I always think I'm doing quite a good job at refraining from doing that very thing. The a...
This book seems to get more ridiculous with each page. From crazy Catholic nuns to crazy ninjas, to crazy Israelis, to crazy bad writing. I don't know where to being. First, there's the line about the hospital being full of glorified candystripers -- so I guess there aren't any other good doctors and nurses around that weren't men! Second... oh, there's just too much. The biggest problem is that we begin with a very interesting premise - what if all the men in the world died? And the answer we g...
