About this ebook
"Funny and scary…an utterly believable critique of society. A+"—THE WASHINGTON POST"The best graphic novel I've ever read."—STEPHEN KING"This year's best movie is a comic book."—ALL THINGS CONSIDERED, NATIONAL PUBLIC RADIO"A seriously funny, nuanced fable...Grade A."—ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY
Y: THE LAST MAN, winner of three Eisner Awards and one of the most critically acclaimed, best-selling comic books series of the last decade, is that rare example of a page-turner that is at once humorous, socially relevant and endlessly surprising. Written by Brian K. Vaughan (Lost, PRIDE OF BAGHDAD, EX MACHINA) and with art by Pia Guerra, this is the saga of Yorick Brown—the only human survivor of a planet-wide plague that instantly kills every mammal possessing a Y chromosome. Accompanied by a mysterious government agent, a brilliant young geneticist and his pet monkey, Ampersand, Yorick travels the world in search of his lost love and the answer to why he's the last man on earth. Collecting issues #1-5.

Having reread Y: The Last Man X amount of times, I can assure you that the story, art and feel are all second to none. There's a freeing sense of wonder throughout the story, with strong spices of sadness, love, loss and desperation. One of the greatest comics/graphic novels out there, even after so many years.

This series is by far the best series I have ever read. The entire book from beginning to end is incredible, with enough twists, actions and drama that won't ever bore you.

Y the last man puts a new spin on the apocalypse concept. Full of rich characters that are truly dynamic throughout the course of the series and equally impressive art, this is one novel you won't put down til the end!
