From writer Brian K. Vaughan (Swamp Thing, The Hood) and up and coming artist Pia Guerra comes a view of a dystopian society where suddenly - and without warning - a mysterious plague kills every living creature on the planet with a Y chromosone...in other words, no more men! Except one. Amateur escape artist Yorick Brown has somehow survived. It's now a very different world, and his unique status is far from privileged. If they can't exploit Yorick, the new world powers may just decide his usefulness is at an end! Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Better than I had hopedApocalyptic stories and gender politics, two of my favor things to read or watch. "Y: The Last Man -- Unmanned" was intense and gripping. I devoured it and wanted more. I'd heard about this graphic serial for years and am so glad I finally got a copy. I'm not sure I buy the decay of the world quite so much, women are very capable and are in most of the jobs required just not in the majority of many of them, but given this is an apocalyptic fantasy/science fiction story, I can go with the flow ... Read More Rating: - Best graphic novel since Jeff Smith's 'Bone'This is the most engrossing comic novel I have read since 'Bone'. The pace is perfect and the subject matter is so well developed that you will find yourself slipping into Vaughn's post-apocalyptic alternate reality. Guerra's artwork is a perfect match to Vaughn's writing and it really brings the whole work to life in a way only comics can. Y: The Last Man is an excellent launch pad for anyone just getting into the world of comics and graphic novels as well as a strong addition to any library. Rating:  - I Am Woman, Hear Me RoarVisualize the Helen Ruddy song -- I Am Woman -- for a second. Feel the estrogen? Oh yeah..... Nothing like female empowerment to get you going for a story about women taking over the world. You see, Y: The Last Man REALLY is about the LAST man. In a stunning turn of events, the entire male population has violently died and the world has been taken over by lesbian bikers who decide they only need to deal with one of their "more appealing chest parts" and cut off the other one. Okay, silliness aside, ... Read More Rating: - Hooked!I was hooked after reading this first volume! I loved the cliffhanger at the end. Vaughan has several of those throughout the series. I couldn't resist running out an buying Vol. 2 that same day. Finally, after repeated trips to the store I ordered 6-10 from Amazon. Thankfully, they have fast shipping so I didn't have to wait long! I particularly liked how the events leading up to the plague were portrayed, right down to the page where there are four panels that depict things that ... Read More Rating: - Reads best as a SERIESI read this one Trade Paperback without much prior knowledge of who BKV or Pia Guerra was. But I did hear some good reviews on this Trade series so I tried it out. The first read wasn't that compelling. The second of the series made it a bit better. By the time I read the first five of the Series, I was somewhat hooked. The main character, Yorick, is a bit spoiled and somewhat of a whiner. He runs off and does what he wants regardless of those who warns him or the consequence of his ... Read More
