Product Description:
The saga of Yorick Brown, the last man on Earth, continues in PAPER DOLLS, writer Brian K. Vaughan and artist Pia Guerra's award-winning VERTIGO series. In addition to catching up on the adventures of Yorick's monkey Ampersand (whose body holds the key to stopping the male-killing plague) and telling the origin of Agent 355, PAPER DOLLS chronicles Yorick and 355's search for Yorick's fiancee Beth in Australia -- a search that yields a large dose ofunwanted publicity for the Last Man, and deadly consequences for those he cares for!

Average Rating: out of 5 stars

Rating:

- Just okay
This one is probably my least favorite from the series so far. That said, I still give it four stars because I still enjoyed it as part of the overall series. I think what was lacking for me was Yorick. He did not have as much of a direct presence in this volume. I missed his whimsical, rather cerebral humor.

This one is sort of all over the place too. Lots of little snapshots of back-stories and events leading up to the plague.

- Issues #37-#43 of the Vaughan/Guerra series
This trade paperback collects issues #37-42 of the excellent DC Comics series. Series co-creator Pia Guerra pencils the three-issue "Paper Dolls" story arc. Yorick and Agent 355 spend a day in decaying Sydney, Australia, searching for Beth but instead running afoul of a zealous tabloid reporter. Meanwhile, Dr. Mann bonds with an Australian who may or may not still be a spy and the Israeli soldiers reappear with Yorick's mother in Washington, DC.
Goran Sudzuka pencils the remaining three issues. The subpar #40 centers on Hero and Yorick's other Beth while the excellent #41 is chiefly backstory on Agent 355. #42 focuses on Yorick's monkey Ampersand who may have the cure for the plague. I enjoyed this book, though not as much as some of the earlier ones: I'm looking forward to Book 8.

- Great Balance Between New Plot Developments and Back Story
Reading "Y: The Last Man" makes me feel like I'm going to the movies. It's clear how much thought is put into the writing (especially the dialogue and the back story, which is phenomenally laid out in one-shot flashback issues) as well as the art; it makes "Y" one of the most consistently fantastic comic series that I've read.

Moreso than any other volume of the series, this book--"Paper Dolls"--continues directly from the previous volume. The ship Yorick was on docks, and he and 355 set out into Australia to find Yorick's long lost fiance Beth... and they only have one day to do so. Any fan of Brian K. Vaughan knows that things, of course, do not go smoothly for Yorick. That's the main story line of this book (making up the "Paper Dolls" arc, which is three issues) and it's very good, but the three one-shot issues that follow are even better.

First, we get a "meanwhile..." issue that ... Read More

- Great addition to the series
Paper Dolls had so many twists to it that I almost couldn't keep up. This series just gets you hooked and never fails to entertain. If you're looking for an example of why Y The Last Man is so highly regarded, check out volume 4 and this volume.
