Y: The Last Man, Vol. 10: Whys and Wherefores (2008)

3.5. I'd give the series overall 3.5. Wow. and ouch. ( )

A few days ago I asked Mr. Greg to pick a book for me… he asked me what kind of book you want? And I said something funny… and he did his “I’m not sure I understand humans emotions anymore” look and asked me what is funny? That activated my “you think you crazier than me?” mode… and I’m like: dead people are funny! What you have on the genocide department? He gave me this one and told me it was supposed to be funny in a world were every single man but one is dead! I’m like that’s what’s sup! So I go to my mighty corner and start reading it… when some dude (I don’t know how he looked like I was reading my crappy comic) comes and places a big black bag right in front of me and leaves… I’m like WTF!? I look at the big black bag, (remember my mighty corner is located right in front of the emergency exit) I get all paranoid and shit and leave… but my curiosity kept me in the store (to see if I’ll blow up) it didn’t’ so I went to check… the mo fo trick into leaving MY corner!!! That cunning bastard! Anyway back to the review! This book sucks! All those women!!! And there is no hot hot lesbian action to be found anywhere! Not even in Vol, 6 which is call “girl on girl” when I grabbed that one I was like “oh yeah, finally” doing my pervert smile and all of that!! And when the moment comes for some sweet Asian chick on Black chick loving… and then BANG! Half a page! Half a mother fucking page!!! WTF!!!! I FELT CHEATED!!! I wanted my money back! Then I realized that I was free loading on B&N and manage to calm down… still I will never forget the creators of this one for that… NEVER! By the time I was done reading the whole series was so disappointed no chick on chick action, no dude on a bunch of chicks action, mad homo erotic crap! And more… I know what you asking yourself right now (if you Seth) but alfonso why the 3 stars then?? Why? Dude, is simple! The book is what I was looking for it did made me laugh and I was interesting in a crappy way for me to read the whole thing (all but #5)… so a 3 out of 5!!!

Well, that was sad. ( )

I was disappointed in the conclusion. I got the impression that it was supposed to either go further (another volume) or end earlier. Just kind of petered out. ( )

An okay ending to an increasingly cheesy, lackluster series. However, this book's intensity and sense of tragedy didn't work for me because the characters hadn't had enough depth until now to really merit all this storm and fury. And once more, the writer's solution for how to conclude an emotional arc for Yorick is the random, pointless death of a woman.

So, there was some beautiful art and writing in this volume, but all in all I wasn't impressed with this series. ( )
