Weekly Comic Review: Y - The Last Man

[Angryhydralisk]

I read the first and fourth volumes, and I liked it. The build-up to the plague was very well done (and very inevitable in it's feel).

Copper: It's a Brian K. Vaughan book. Of course something bad is going to happen!

D-Mon: Definitely check it out. I wouldn't rank it as highly as Preacher, but it was one of the more enjoyable Vertigo books for me in recent years.

Poxpower: They explain why he has the monkey--he volunteered for a program where people train "helper" monkeys for quadriplegics. I don't want to say too much and give things away, but the monkey is an important element as for how he survived. And the fact that he's an escape artist isn't a mere convenience for Vaughan to get the character out of sticky situations--it's actually an important thematic part of the story.

And the women are doing insane things because the entire infrastructure of society fell apart overnight.

I know some people who just didn't get into the book, so I guess it's not for everyone, but it's pretty damn high on my list.
