Continues the excellence from volume 1 - not sure there's much else to say. ( )

I actually liked this volume better than the first one. From a story standpoint it's a little more interesting.

It still suffers from using too-common literary references. Some of them irked me a good deal, like seriously, come on, how does an English major not know what "crossing the Rubicon" means? The pop culture references also were a bit cutaneous: Anyone who has seen Back to the Future would have made the connection without an explicit mention.

I had a problem, too, with the excessive use of the adjective "fucking." Yeah, I get it, it's a post-apocalyptic dystopia/utopia (depending on your view...) and people are pissed off all the time. But are there people who really use it in almost every sentence? ( )

MAYBE I'm just spoiled by a glut of really great comics over the years, but while Y: The Last Man is still solid as hell, it's not quite rocking my boat yet.

It's still slightly edgy, but I've read lots of comics that cursed and had nudity. That's not what makes a great story. A great story makes a great story. In this volume, I'm reminded a lot of The Walking Dead in the early years. Willing to take risks but still firmly grounded in the everyday. Not quite tipping over into outright imaginative awesomeness, but holding back so as not to scare the normals.

And then again, maybe this is just a feature of the times. '03. All the later great comics, such as Saga, written by the same guy, had to have come from SOMEWHERE. :)

We shall see. Goodbye, paradise, hello spaceboys. :) ( )

Book description
A plague of unknown origin has killed all of the male mammals on Earth- all except an amateur escape artist named Yorick Brown and his surly helper monkey, Ampersand.
AS the last remaining Y-chromosome carriers on the planet, Yorick and his pet hold the fate of humanity in their hands. To ensure the survival of the species, they've teamed up with a gun-toting government agent and the world's premiere bioengineer to discover the secret behind the plague.
