Pretty damn good. Many fans already knew the end of Brian K. Vaughan’s epic series of a world where all but one man have died, but for those of us who wait for the trade paperback volumes, this week’s release of the last collection of Y: The Last Man was the end of one of comics best series to date.
Many people demand closure from a series’ conclusion. Others prefer ambiguity so they can imagine what happens. Vaughan does both, and that might not seem possible on paper, once you read the comics you’ll know what I mean. We know what has happened to our characters, where they are going and where they end up, but at the same time there is the promise of something more, - a promise this series has always made.
If you don’t read this series, go do it, and if you already do and haven’t read Vol. 10 - why are you reading this? Go pick it up!
