Book Reviews of the Unmanned (Y: The Last Man, Vol. 1)
Customer Review: Best new series of 2002-3
Summary: 5 Stars
Y, the Last Man really caught me off guard. The premise was interesting enough: a global plague kills all men but one. But could the creative team deliver on this premise? The answer is a resounding yes.Brian Vaughn gives us a story part post-Apocalyptic sci-fi, part sociological discourse, and part road story, all wrapped up into one. His lead character, Yorick Brown, is an everyman. Nothing special about him other than that he's an adept escape artist. Other than that, he's your typical, semi-motivated twentysomething who was just trying to get by like most of us. Now he's the sole survivor of the entire male population (along with his pet monkey) and a political pawn that the now female-controlled world wants to either kill, study or use to propogate the species. And all the while, all Yorick really wants to do is find his girlfriend who's in Australia!
Artist, Pia Guerra, has a straightforward style and excellent storytelling skills. She reminds me a lot of Dave Gibbons of Watchmen fame, which is a high compliment.
Y, the Last Man: Unmanned has interesting characters and a page-turning story that just won't let you go! If you like post-Apocalyptic stories like Planet of the Apes, Logan's Run, Omega Man or Road Warrior, you'll love this book. I look forward to future volumes of this series.
