Y The Last Man Vol 6 Girl on Girl Brian K Vaughan Pia Guerra Books

Y: The Last Man is a 10-volume graphic novel collection about what would happen if an unexplained plague wiped out every male on earth, animals and human alike, in a heartbeat. The premise of this story is that two males were inexplicably spared: a young man named Yorick Brown, amateur escape artist and generally something of a loser, and a capuchin monkey. The primary plotline is concerned with how to keep Yorick alive long enough to figure out just why he survived and whether that information can be used to help repopulate the earth, all while Yorick tries to find his girlfriend and would-be fiance, who was on a sabbatical in the Australian Outback when the disaster struck.

In the process, Yorick and the people who help him encounter crazed "Amazons," who believe it is their duty to remove the last vestige of the male of the species from the planet, an out-of-control Israeli Defense Forces commander who wants Yorick for her own purposes, Yorick's mother, a Representative and one of the few members of the U.S. government left alive, Yorick's sister (with a few plot twists I won't reveal), and various others, some who try to aid him, many of whom try to kill him.

The science in this set of graphic novels frankly doesn't make much sense, so you have to turn your brain off, much as you have to do when you read Superman. Some of the depictions of life without men make sense; some less so. There are plot twists galore and *everyone* has secrets, some of which aren't revealed until the final volume.

I found the artwork in this series to be adequate but uninspiring. It reminded me a little of the old Curt Swan Superman and Legion of Super Heroes days. It's clean and uncluttered but this isn't artwork that's going to blow you away or that you'll want to show off to your friends. The real attraction to this series is the writing. To a certain extent, I think that's appropriate, as this doesn't have the grandeur and the scope of, say, the latest Avengers or Justice League space battle.

Book 6 of the series starts off with Yorick, Agent 355, and Dr. Mann aboard a ship heading for Japan, where they believe Ampersand (Yorick's monkey and the only other male survivor of the plague) and his captor are headed. 355 and the doctor hire on to the ship but they smuggle Yorick aboard as cargo. Unfortunately, they are discovered; fortunately, the captain is sympathetic and agrees to let Yorick stay in her cabin. In the meantime, Agent 355 and Dr. Mann discover they have more in common than they thought (wink, wink, nudge, nudge).

All is not well on board the Whale, though, as a mysterious eye-patched woman takes over the radio room and sends a message to what we find out is an Australian submarine. Before we can find out the consequences of that radio message, a seasick Yorick throws open the door of Dr. Mann's cabin, seeking a seasickness remedy. What he finds instead is a bit more than he bargained for.

After a case of mistaken identity and some action sequences, the woman with the eypatch is captured and placed in the brig. Dr. Mann sneaks in to talk to her, only to find out that things aren't quite what they seem. I won't spoil matters; suffice to say that it's not quite clear anymore just who the good guys really are.

In the meantime, Yorick is finding the captain to be very ... amenable. Sadly, before anything can come of it, the attacking submarine shows up. Both the sub and the ship have surprises up their sleeves and the battle is fierce, both on the ship and in the water. In the aftermath, our protagonists end up on the submarine, where we find out that the eyepatched woman is named Rose and that she has a thing for Dr. Mann.

With that news, we break away to Israel, where the rogue Israeli Defense Forces general is on trial by a military judge, who renders a guilty verdict. Unfortunately for the judge, the general has other ideas, and the means to carry them out. In another abrupt transition, we next look in on Yorick's girlfriend, Beth, in the Australian Outback. She's been drugged by a native Shaman and sent on a series of walkabouts - flashbacks and visions.

In reading this over, I realize that I'm skipping over a lot. There just isn't any easy way to summarize the changes the characters go through and how they interact with one another. The issue is about evenly split between the action sequences and the quieter moments. The writing remains consistent throughout and Vaughan still keeps us intrigued by where he's going with this and how he'll pull all of these pieces together in the end game.

Y The Last Man Vol 6 Girl on Girl Brian K Vaughan Pia Guerra Books Reviews

Such an amazing team. BKV is a phenomenal writer, this is one of my top 3 comic series of all time. The. Series is a quick read but I like to take my time and observe the art. The series is very cinematic.
I LOVE this story. Any comic book nerd or fan of post apocalyptic stories would be into this )
Great series. I have a hard time finding the later volumes at my local comic shops, and has me covered. If your reading a review for book 6 you already know the basic outline of the series, pick this one up you won't regret it.
This trade paperback collects issues #32-36 of the excellent DC Comics series. All but the last feature guest artists instead of co-creator Pia Guerra. Though the series is still enjoyable, I'd echo some other reviewers' statements about this seeming like filler material. Agent 355, Dr. Mann and stowaway Yorick hitch a ride across the Pacific on a commercial ship 'The Whale' in pursuit of Ampersand and his kidnapper. This volume's title suggests one of the budding romances among the travelers. Meanwhile, an Australian submarine suspects 'The Whale' of sinister motives and draws close. The final chapter provides backstory of Beth and her relationship with Yorick.
Volume 6 also offers the highest cost to issue ratio since Volume 2. Volume 5 contained eight issues for a list price of $15 US.
I was turned on to Y The Last Man at work when I saw someone with the comic. I asked him what it was about and he told me. Being a fan of post-apocolyptica, I asked if it was any good. He looked straight into my eyes and said, "I don't read crap, man." If you looked at the guy, a stereotypical comic book/gaming nerd, you could tell he knew his stuff.

I went home and bought all the available graphic novels, 6 at the time. I have no regrets. I have since lent these novels to about a dozen people and they all loved it.

This comic perfectly blends action, comedy, sci-fi, romance, and drama together to create a world where women rule.
I purchased this series on the recommendation of Stephen King. If the master storyteller of the 20th Century says to read something, I tend to listen. And boy, was this a good choice?

Wonderful mix of humor and horror and science, a great mix, easily and freshly told. Almost like a great zombie adventure, without the zombies.

Cannot recommend highly enough.

Incredible experience reading this story.
This was an interesting volume of Y The Last Man. It wasn't horrible. It wasn't great. It did seem to derail the story as Yorick and his gang have now taken to the seas and end up dealing with pirates. There are also some rather shocking scenes that I wasn't expecting. Characters headed in directions I didn't think they would take. Maybe they were getting bored with the plot too? Art quality wasn't up to the usual standard either and combined with the plot and antics of this volume I wondered if I had accidentally picked up an issue of Scooby-Doo.

The one redeeming quality of Volume 6 is the last story. We get some insight as to what's been going on in Australia. I can't remember how long it's been since we've followed Beth, but it's been too long. These asides seem to be the strong point of the series.
