"The best graphic novel I've ever read."—STEPHEN KING
"This year's best movie is a comic book."—“ALL THINGS CONSIDERED,” NPR
"A seriously funny, nuanced fable.... Grade A."—ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY
Y: THE LAST MAN, winner of three Eisner Awards and one of the most critically acclaimed, best-selling comic books series of the last decade, is that rare example of a page-turner that is at once humorous, socially relevant and endlessly surprising.
Written by Brian K. Vaughan (LOST, PRIDE OF BAGHDAD, EX MACHINA) and with art by Pia Guerra, this is the saga of Yorick Brown—the only human survivor of a planet-wide plague that instantly kills every mammal possessing a Y chromosome. Accompanied by a mysterious government agent, a brilliant young geneticist and his pet monkey, Ampersand, Yorick travels the world in search of his lost love and the answer to why he's the last man on earth.

As my second dive into comics I got Book 1 & 2 for christmas. And oh yes this is a grand opening. I already have way more fun with this than with my first dive "American Vampire". Y is very fast paced (at least Book 1 so far - could be because the overall state of the world and the first main characters get introduced on such few pages). There were a lot of jumps to other locations all around the world, and nearly every few pages or at least every chapter ended on some cliffhanger, or with a panel that just left me dying to read on. So I naturally really burnt through this quick. It was a really fun page turner and I start to realize that this is what I want in comics. My only complaints are that really all the main characters (and even most all of the side characters) are pure cliche. Everyone fulfills their cliche roles and even says everything that fills this role. Also apparently everyone is seriously good looking in this "dystopian" world. There's not one unattractive character. I really hope these things will tone down a bit as the story progresses. So for now...off to Book 2!
