4.0 out of 5 stars Good stuff! Y keeps on trucking, smart, thrilling and funny as ever., 28 Jul 2008
By J. C. Walker (London, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I don't know why people aren't satisfied with Vaughan's explanation, if you ask me this book is a big improvement over the last volume. The whole Y journey is fantastic and this is no exception.

If you've got to volume 8, you have to read this one, so it makes criticism kind of moot. But it's not as bad as others are saying, in fact the writing here is as entertaining as any of the other volumes, whether you like the final explanation or not.

2.0 out of 5 stars Vaughan is not very proficient in Neo-Darwinism, 20 Aug 2007
As any reader of this series, I was expecting some explanation of why all men where killed in the first place. I expected either an explanation based on science, or something completely on the realm of the supernatural, which is always ok, since it exists outside the realm of reason. Instead of that, the theory presented in here is some really incompetent pseudo-scientific explanation that will only please people that do not understand absolutely anything about evolutionary theory and to whom Start Trek like science sounds pretty "kewl", or to people that confuse science with neo-pagan post-modernist idiocy. Evolution theory has already been distorted and insulted enough too many times in popular culture, even if involuntarily, but I did expect a higher standard from this book than from X-Men comics.

Plus, plot-wise, this book is pretty boring. Very little character development happens, and too many of the startling revelations are really not that interesting or exciting. This series is really getting worse with every new issue. I just hope it can still recover in time to deliver a decent finale.

3.0 out of 5 stars The Book of Revelation? Makes about as much sense..., 15 Aug 2007
By Simon Hall (Leeds, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Let me start by saying this is the first comic book that I have eagerly awaited for months. I stopped myself from buying the individual comics so that this combined volume would look lovely next to all the others. So maybe I had raised the bar of expectation too far...

The Last Man is the funkiest post-apocolyptic road movie I've never seen, and the denouement of this wonder-ful journey is... well, a little flat. I don't want to give too much up, but the explanation for the eradication of MANkind comes across not as the big bang I've been waiting for, but just another theory, like the theories that the lead character was saved by his 'magic' ring, or that the 'plague' was caused by one of the characters trying to clone themselves...

Sorry, guys, but I'm left wondering what to believe... I don't even know if the thing finished at the end!
