4.5 stars. I liked hearing Dr. Mann's backstory. This one was a page turner!

Maybe it's because I just finished some amazing epic fantasy (A Dance With Dragons), or maybe I'm just not in the mood, but this volume just felt silly to me. Like I couldn't figure out why I'm still reading this series, even though I've enjoyed it for the most part.
It has gotten a bit stale, but there was some interesting backstory from a couple different characters here. The thing is, I've realized that I don't really care about any of the characters. Yorick could die, and I'd probably be surprised since he's the last man and all, but I wouldn't be sad.
I'm going to continue on with the series, but maybe it's best in the future if I don't read any graphic novels after finishing awesome doorstopper fantasies. The transition isn't good.

I cannot tell you how excited I am that this series has an ending. (Don't get me wrong, I love The Walking Dead, but sometimes I wonder if they add new wrinkles to the story just so they can keep it going.) Even better is that it's clear already in volume 8 that they're trying to bring the pieces together so that we can have a satisfying finish. We appear to be getting closer to the cause of man killing pandemic, and it appears that Dr. Mann is more involved than she realized.

In this chronicle of the last man on earth, or is he?, Yorick and the gang go to Japan to find Ampersand. Lots of people die, more of Dr. Mann's origin is revealed, and more of the final pieces are put on the board.
Kimono Dragons moved things forward more than the last volume but I still feel like BKV is pumping the brakes a bit. With only two volumes left, I expect the shit to start hitting the fan at a rapid pace.
The last time I read these trades, I was reading them as they were released. Now that I'm wolfing them down like a surprisingly thin guy at an eating contest, it's easier to see all the groundwork laid early on and the character development every issue along the way to the end. This really is a great series.

Still excellent, both story and art. Gearing up to conclude story, you could feel it. Felt like a couple filler issues of backstory for secondary characters.

My favorite since the beginning, but maybe it's because I actually took my time reading this one. I love getting the back stories of the characters as well as information about what is going on outside of Yorick's story.
Although I am starting to develop a literary crush on Mr. Brown.
