The final volume of a great series

By Andy Shuping - May 11, 2011

This is the 5th, and last, collected volume of one of the greatest illustrated series ever written "Y the Last Man," and I can't imagine a better ending. We rejoin Yorick, Agent 355, Ampersand, and Dr. Mann as they continue their quest to find Yorick's missing girlfriend and discover a way to preserve the human race. And along the way old friends rejoin the group as the final truth is revealed. Our characters have grown as we've traveled around the world with them and now we discover secrets to their past that have direct bearing on the present condition the world finds itself in. And the mysterious ninja that's been trailing the team? We find out who she is and who she works for. And Yorick may not be the last man left alive after all.

Vaughan's credit that he not only succeeded in telling a rich, complex tale and wrapped it up nice and tight, he succeeded with flying colors in creating a world populated with wonderful, deep, memorable characters in a story that is so much more than what you see on the surface. It has so much to offer in terms of ideas, beliefs, theories and general insight into our world that it's absolutely no... read more

Amazing, Awesome, Satisfying!

By Schwang Lae - July 1, 2011

This was the first comic book i read that didn't feature a superhero and it is now my all time favorite. There shouldn't be a delay in picking this up(and the previous 4 hardcovers) if you have even an inkling of interest. You will not be disappointed.
