Y: The Last Man #1 by Brian K. VaughanArt: J.G. Jones, Pia Guerra, Jose Marzan
Published: September 2002 / Vertigo
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Source: Purchased
Look for this at goodreads / Amazon / Comixology
One of the things that is relevant in this title is how the storyline is organized. The storyline is done using a sequence of events occurring in different parts of the world. By creating the story this way we can understand the real global impact of the situation formulated in this title.
Y: The Last Man presents as a premise males around the world dying spontaneously, leaving females as the only gender populating the earth. It caused an impact on me as a reader because massive deaths in males in all species would be catastrophic for the evolution and continuity of the species. It would bring the end.
There are so many reasons for me to recommend this graphic novel series to you. Y: The last man has great art on its cover which depicts the evolutionary element intrinsic in the story by including the monkey and the DNA. Colors complement the cover so well. Art inside is good and enhances the narrative. The author created enough mystery around the main character to make me want to return to the series. Why is he surviving? Is he special? I will stop writing about the goodness of this series because it is time for you to look it up and see for yourselves.
