Description
Created by the acclaimed team of writer Brian K. Vaughan and artist Pia Guerra, the Eisner Award-winning saga of Y: THE LAST MAN is presented here in a stunning new Absolute Edition. In 2002, the world changes forever. Every man, every boy, every mammal with a Y chromosome everywhere on Earth suddenly collapses and dies. The gears of society grind to a halt. In the aftermath, a world of women is left to piece together the wreckage and keep civilization from collapsing completely. The show more "gendercide," however, is not absolute--a single man named Yorick Brown and his pet monkey are spared. So begins an extraordinary journey, as the world's two remaining males set out to solve the mystery of the sex-specific plague and preserve the future of mankind. But how can one man save an entire species when his heart belongs to only one woman--and she's on the other side of the globe? This final volume collects issues #41-60 of the groundbreaking VERTIGO series and includes the complete script by Vaughan and pencilled pages by guest artist Goran Sudzuka for issue #53. show lessTags

Here's the thing about this era of Vertigo...Y The Last Man started off Great but then as it hits its stride its systemically brought to its knees and turns out a shit comic with a rushed crappy ending. It's not just this, it's 100 Bullets, DMZ, Stumptown, American Virgin, Air, Transmetropolitan - this is a pattern with the imprint I think on purpose.
Having said that the conclusion of this saga is absolutely TERRIBLE. All it is is a poor excuse for a love triangle romance hiding between a very weak and inconceivable geopolitical plotline with a dash of science fiction cloning to make it "deep". All main and side plots are rushed. Yorick doesn't get an ending that makes sense. The timeline goes by quick, and you don't even know it until show more the bitter end, which is a problem tracking how much time is passing between the cloning doctor slash discount assassin making progress. The biggest letdown is the ending. Great way to destroy what could have been a potentially great ending Vertigo.
I was mad reading the issues as we boiled over to the ending and I'm STILL MAD at the hatchet job Vertigo did on this comic. It should be felonious to destroy your popular titles because you're pissed people are buying it instead of The New 52. Do yourself a favor and skip this and the television show. Think better of your time and money. show less
