Book Reviews of Y: The Last Man Vol. 8: Kimono Dragons
Book Review: Issues #43-48 of the Vaughan/Guerra series
Summary: 4 Stars
This trade paperback collects issues #43-48 of the excellent DC Comics series. Co-creator Pia Guerra pencils the four-issue "Kimono Dragons" story arc. Yorick, 355, Dr. Mann and Rose travel to Japan in search of Yorick's monkey Ampersand who may hold the cure for the plague that wiped out all other male mammals. The group encounters a bizarre remnant of the Yakuza while Dr. Mann searches for her mother's lab. The remaining two issues that were penciled by Goran Sudzuka are respective one-shots that provide backstory on Dr. Mann and Alter, the Israeli soldier that has been pursuing Yorick.
Summary of Y: The Last Man Vol. 8: Kimono Dragons
If you're looking for a comic book that falls outside of the usual superhero fare, Y: The Last Man is one of the top choices around. A creation of Brian K. Vaughan and Pia Guerrera, it's a post-apocalyptic story in which a mysterious virus has wiped out every male on Earth, except a young man named Yorick and his monkey, Ampersand. In the eighth trade paperback, Kimono Dragons (issues 43-46), Yorick, Agent 355, Allison, and Rose are in Japan on the trail of the abducted Ampersand. Yorick and 355 find themselves mixed up with the Japanese mafia led by a former Canadian pop star named Epiphany, while Allison and Rose hope to find some answers in Allison's mother's lab. The remaining two issues (47-48) are standalone stories, "The Tin Man" and "Gehenna" (Goran Sudzuka takes over the pencils from Guerrera, with Jose Marzan Jr. still doing the inking), which explore the histories of Allison and Israeli solder Alter. Y: The Last Man is part of DC's Vertigo line and has some mature content, including nudity and graphic violence. --David HoriuchiIf you're looking for a comic book that falls outside of the usual superhero fare, Y: The Last Man is one of the top choices around.A creation of Brian K.
