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. Yorick Brown has somehow survived. It's now a very different world, and his unique status is far from privileged. He finds himself on the run from a coven of Amazons who want him dead...one of whom is his own sister! Average Rating:
 Rating:  - The plot thickens and the fun continuesThe first book in Brian K. Vaughan's Y: THE LAST MAN set up the premise: all the males in the world of every species have died except for loser named Yorick Brown and his pet monkey Ampersand. In the chaos that follows American society is oppressed by totalitarian Amazons, who are marked ideologically by an intense detestation of all things male (in later books they will even try to tear down structures they imagine are male) and by their ill-informed attempt to mimic Amazons by cutting off one ...

Volume 2 had an incredibly exciting story with a lot of humor in it. Brian K. Vaughn is a really good writer, and this is demonstrated in Y: the Last Man. I look forward to reading the rest of the series. Rating: - Graphic SF ReaderYorick has gained some companions. Agent 355 is working for the mysterious Culper Ring, some sort of ultra-secret spook organisation. It is not quite clear who is pulling her strings, or the strings of her agency. There ia also a scientist who specialises in biology and genetics, and she hopes that Yorick and Ampersand can help her make a cure. They all have to survive an ex-prison town, a crazed Amazon cult, and Yorick's sister, first. Rating:  - the worst 'writer'/poseur in comics today...read an interview with vaughan and you think 'he must be amazingly gifted as an actor, because he couldn't possibly be that stupid and poseur-riffic.' but he is...
