Y: The Last Man
Posted: Thu Jan 14, 2010 3:23 pm

just started reading this graphic novel from the library and i was blown away. been looking for ages for a graphic novel i could really get into.
its a really good mix of post-apoc hyper-reality and serious science fiction, with great characters and great humour thrown in, plus it looks ace.
its basically about the last man Yorick - and his (male) monkey, Ampersand - left alive after everything with a Y chromasone is wiped out but theres a great array of characters and stories going on and i understand enough about american politics for it to make sense and the jokes to work too
unfortunately i can only get the first and ninth book at my library so im probably gonna end up buying the b***ers :doubt:
was wondering if anyone on here had checked it out, if not i cant recommend it more from what ive seen so far. heres a bit from near the start.

This frame (below) reminded me of the warriors (punks and lizzies) theres lots of good non warriors references in it actually.
just reading up finding some pics to post on here and apparantly its based a lot on this

character names an stuff match up for instance beth and agent 355 (bottom right). ill have to do some more searching.
