Weekly Comic Review: Y - The Last Man

[Poxpower]

I did get the first trade, didn't find it that interesting. Sort of was dumb how he was a magician and it's somehow useful ( and I'm sure it comes back again and again ) and he's got a monkey for no real reason and basically nothing interesting really happens except a bunch of women doing insane things that don't make any sense.
But I just read the first trade, I imagine it gets way better somehow because everyone is raving about this book :O
Of course if you follow anything every month for years, you'll end up liking it, no matter how shitty it is. So bah still not really convinced to get the rest by your review there.

Is there some awesome twist that happens? Or like cool enemies? Something?
