Y the Last Man

Honestly, I hated the ending. I mean the series isn't exactly known for happy moments, but even still, its just too depressing if you ask me.

It got to confusing for me pretty much after he met his sister again i gave up.

The ending sure was sad, especially

Spoiler:
when old Yorick committed primate euthanasia

I didn't hate it though (pretty much the opposite), it was a little confusing, but very emotional.

Just read it all.

I wish most series didn't end on a sad note.

This one wasn't sad but not to happy.

Who would think the sister and he ex become an item lol.

Poor monkey. I miss him. 🙁

The ending was perfect, like the rest of the series. It was confusing for me the first time I read the series about the span of 5 years (only read single issues when they came out), but after rereading every issue over he past day, everything makes sense and there was so much genius put into it it boggles the best.

Best thing to come out of the comic medium ever.

Apparently there were hints at 355's name.

Anybody got an idea what it is?

Beth Brown.

What makes you say that?

I don't think there are any hints to be honest. Vaughn is weird like that and wants people to reread his work all the time. Just one of those Lost and Translation finishes to something that was never there in the first place. You'd think with all the readers on that book SOMEBODY would have been like "oh snap right here"...but I've never heard of one.

Just finished reading the series. That ending was depressing.

if you can't figure out why Y is amazing

then you deserve not to enjoy it

I thought the concept was pretty cool. Yorick was a smartass and some of his one-liners were funny as hell. I thought the series dragged a little towards the middle but otherwise it was pretty good. I like stories with a set ending(Girls, The Sword). Theres talks of a movie already.

I enjoyed the series and didn't think the ending was half-bad either.

The reason for the cure was a tad off, but still great.

If you thought it was confusing....

Or if you are THAT worked up about what the reason for the plague is...

then you are honestly an idiot and should never have tried to read it in the first place.

I read it all, in trades... which, IMO, maxxed out the enjoyability, as the stories are told in trades, and it's easier to pick up on each little detail that relates to past/future issues.

But, yeah... I was pretty much astounded by the whole thing. Wow.

Spoiler:
People complain about the reason for the Gendercide, but we never received a concrete reason... not really. We were given a bunch of hypotheticals, from the Aboriginal beliefs to the Culper Ring conspiracy theories, but nothing was proven. Like 355's name, this was all obviously on purpose.

Anyways, highly recommended to anybody looking for a good story.

I really enjoyed it, mainly because of the level of even handedness it gave to every issue that came up.

i read the first trade at a barnes and noble around november of last year, and have been trying to get up the funds to go out and buy the trades so i can read more. from what little i read, i really liked the story.

favorite part poll [which i'm initiating now]:
the cop killing herself when she realizes all the men are dead.

I must say I am pretty surprised that there wasn't any thread made for this "limited" (limited as it will end after 60 issues) series.

I had heard quite a lot about this series and decided to DL the first few issues, after I had read issue one and two I decided that this was so good that I deleted the downloads and a few days later went and bought the first TPB. So far I am loving this series.

For those of you who don't know what this is, it is about all the males of all the species on Earth suddenly dies, all except for one human male and his male monkey. And then we follow him and a selected few women. I can highly recommend giving this a shot.

For those of you who know of it, any of you read this?

Totally agree. Haven't read the rest of this thread for fear of spoilers.

I bought the first two trades last week and found it to be sooo good I'm going into town today to buy more ✅

I love the fact that (so far as I've only read first two arcs) they have addressed the fact that this is every hormonally charged teenage boys fantasy and yet they've not gone done the route of a porno comic but instead crafted a nice little odyssey for Yorrick.

This post contains one or two spoilers

It's a little dissapointing not to know the "true" reason why all the men died...

Like they said in the comic, "what reason would have been satisfying?" ... "Aliens?"

Seriously, most of the proposed reasons seem woefully far fetched, there's just no way any virus could reach that many people/animals at exactly the same time planetwide, and a bioweapon wouldn't work without meticulous planning and hundreds of thousands of delivery systems covering the entire planet, which would have been discovered eventually. An ancient Curse? anyone believe in those? nature cutting out the Y chromosome because cloning was almost perfected? seriously doubt it.

I think they may have started out with an idea of what caused it but then realised that any explanation would have been called as bullshit, so they left it open instead.

I read the whole series over the last few days and I loved it, as soon as Yorick and 355 admitted their feelings I knew something bad would happen, didn't think it would be quite so sudden though. Hated to see Ampersand go, but Monkeys only live so long anyway.

Thankfully only a few twists were predictable, so it never got boring.

Scoobs is on to something good. In this case, not knowing might be better than actually knowing.

Yorick should've tapped that asian lez.
