- 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 ...

Rating: - the last trade
i read the last trade with a bit of trepidation. i knew it's the last issues left to read and i was afraid all the journey will end badly and i will feel ripped off.
actually i knew it wont happen. i was just sad the journey was over for me with these characters.
and the ending? i really liked it.
the series definitely had its highs and lows but all in all, it was great.
it was EXCELLENT.
if you hadn't read it yet - you should start.
Rating: - Well, some didn't like the ending. I did. Kinda.
Brian K. Vaughan, Y: The Last Man: Whys and Wherefores (Vertigo, 2008)
The end of Brian K. Vaughan's celebrated Y: The Last Man came all too early, and all too abruptly. Still, despite a resolution that reeks of "how can we tie up all these threads in the amount of time we have left?", Vaughan does a creditable job of it. It's going to be tough to say goodbye to this bunch. ****
Rating: - Wow
I used to think that Brian Vaughan was possibly one of the best comic book writers ever.
Now I know he IS the best.
Y has been an incredible ride, but often great journeys can make for disappointing endings. Not here. Everything that had been building in the previous 9 volumes pays off here. It's beautiful, sad, human, joyous and completely satisfying.
Pia Guerra's art never looked better. It started off very good and grew in beauty and subtly. She interacts with Mr. Vaughan's writing ... Read More
Rating: - At the end of the line, with an unexpected tear in my eye
I find to disagree with the majority of critical voices here. Thinking of it, I find it hard to define what "a pushed ending" really is, but if it's like this last volume, I want to see more of it. There is no real traditional storybook ending here, no riding into sunsets arm-in-arm, or an Orwellian dark endnote. Instead, Y: Last Man wraps it up in a very lyrical, and most of all, incredibly sad way. It's to mr. Vaughan and mrs. Guerra's honour that they can pull of this (to me, anyway) satisfying action ...
