Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - A moving and thoughtful ending
I just finished the last book of Y: The Last Man and I found it really emotional.I think that Vaughn very wisely realizes that the true focus of an ending should be characters, not plot.In the end, we weren't reading Y: The Last Man for all these years because it was about the last man on earth, we were reading it because it was about a group of really compelling characters.The wonderful thing about how the series ends is that Vaughn finds a way to bring closure to the many interpersonal storylines ...

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Outstanding ending.
What an amazing ending to this story. No, it doesn't have the pirates and space shuttle crashes of earlier volumes, but the creators keep the suspense and the tension running high, all the way to the last page. I really recommend reading the series twice. Loved it the first time, understood it the second. Beautiful.

Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Ended With a Whimper

Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Love the series but not the resolution
Brian Vaughan is great at creating characters and getting you to like them.The main character is the guy we can relate to, he's not an action figure, he is talented and intuitive about people but he's not a tough guy at all. I don't like the resolution to the series, its unfair to the characters and to the readers.The story follows a formula that includes action and humor. The relationship between the main character and his female companion is the strong point to the series, it kept me interested.Brian ... Read More

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Must Read.Outstanding.
I've read a lot of comics and graphic novels, but there have only been a few that were so good that the emotional response was almost physical.The Y: The Last Man series is one of those books (Maus is one of the other books as is the 9/11 commemorative issue of Amazing Spider-Man).The story never took a clichéd turn and explored the man/woman/life dynamic in so many ways and on so many levels.I remember reading another person's comments that the series shouldn't end while I was one-third to midway through, ...
