- Better than I had hoped
Apocalyptic stories and gender politics, two of my favor things to read or watch. "Y: The Last Man -- Unmanned" was intense and gripping. I devoured it and wanted more. I'd heard about this graphic serial for years and am so glad I finally got a copy. I'm not sure I buy the decay of the world quite so much, women are very capable and are in most of the jobs required just not in the majority of many of them, but given this is an apocalyptic fantasy/science fiction story, I can go with the flow to see how things play out.

- Best graphic novel since Jeff Smith's 'Bone'
This is the most engrossing comic novel I have read since 'Bone'. The pace is perfect and the subject matter is so well developed that you will find yourself slipping into Vaughn's post-apocalyptic alternate reality. Guerra's artwork is a perfect match to Vaughn's writing and it really brings the whole work to life in a way only comics can. Y: The Last Man is an excellent launch pad for anyone just getting into the world of comics and graphic novels as well as a strong addition to any library.

- I Am Woman, Hear Me Roar
Visualize the Helen Ruddy song -- I Am Woman -- for a second. Feel the estrogen? Oh yeah..... Nothing like female empowerment to get you going for a story about women taking over the world. You see, Y: The Last Man REALLY is about the LAST man. In a stunning turn of events, the entire male population has violently died and the world has been taken over by lesbian bikers who decide they only need to deal with one of their "more appealing chest parts" and cut off the other one. Okay, silliness aside, this actually is a good series, and probably what I admire most about it... it has an ending! Volume 1: Unmanned is nowhere near that ending -- you'll need to read 10 volumes first -- but the best stories always have a beginning and end, and as long as you enjoy the tone of the first book, you'll probably be a devoted reader until the final days.

If you enjoy the format of TV shows like 24 that flash how much ... Read More

- Hooked!
I was hooked after reading this first volume! I loved the cliffhanger at the end. Vaughan has several of those throughout the series. I couldn't resist running out an buying Vol. 2 that same day. Finally, after repeated trips to the store I ordered 6-10 from Amazon. Thankfully, they have fast shipping so I didn't have to wait long!

I particularly liked how the events leading up to the plague were portrayed, right down to the page where there are four panels that depict things that are happening simultaneously in different parts of the world seconds before the plague hit. Excellent timing - so well done.
