The series that has taken the US by storm comes to the UK in the first of an all-new Titan graphic novel series! From writer Brian K. Vaughan (Swamp Thing, The Hood) and up and coming artist Pia Guerra comes a view of a dystopian society where suddenly - and without warning - a mysterious plague kills every living creature on the planet with a Y chromosone...in other words, no more men! Except one. Amateur escape artist Yorick Brown has somehow survived. It's now a very different world, and his unique status is far from privileged. If they can't exploit Yorick, the new world powers may just decide his usefulness is at an end!

When reading a long graphic novel series you have to usually remember that for the most part they get better as they go along. The first volume will lay the groundwork and this will often lead many to say that a comic is boring.
Y The Last Man Vol 1 is good enough to make you want to read the next one but has some serious flaws. For starters women are portrayed as rather one dimensional and Yorick can be a little annoying in his single minded attempt to get to his girlfriend when humanity is obviously in danger. On saying that
I raced through this book and while I did find it annoying in parts it is a good start and I will be picking up Volume 2.

Imagine waking up one morning and finding out you are the very last man alive on Earth. Billions of women and your the only hope for the survival of the human race. Sounds like a dream come true, endless late nights and not a headache in sight....Right.....Wrong!
Speaking totally from a male perspective it really does seem like heaven on earth, but throw in violent hoards of vigilante lesbian biker chicks, Israeli special forces on a mission to kidnap you for mass fertilization, an american government in complete chaos with no policing and countless numbers of lady nutters taking full advantage of the situation, you soon find yourself in a complete nightmare not too far off a George A Romero script.
I myself have only read the first five books and they are absolutely gripping, i have the other books on order and i am chomping at the bit waiting for them to arrive.
This is an absolutely brilliant comic series and a must have for anybody who is interested in appocolypse theories.
Oh yeah, and theres a monkey in it too.

Excellent - unputdownable!!!!!!
Amazing concept and great humour. The detail and ideas about a female only world are fantastic. Let's hope if a film adaption happens it does the graphic novels justice. Read more

The Emperor's New Clothes
The storys basic setup is fairly original, provided you never heard of Mary Shelley, or the 1924 film based on her book, or the remakes in 1964 and 1999. Read more

Interesting, but could be better...
I agree with most of the positive comments about Brian Vaughn's writing - he is an original voice, and his storytelling and ideas are top drawer. Read more
