Y: The Last Man - The Deluxe Edition Book Two by Brian K. Vaughan
5.0
I enjoyed this one even more than the last one! There are still some issues of backwards transphobic comments and some other problematic dialogue. Aside from that, this series has quickly become one of my favorites!
Yourick continues to develop into a more complex character. It was painful watching him go through 711's suicide intervention. The scenes with him and PJ were adorable and his relationship with 355 continues to interest me. Their partnership has clearly grown into a friendship and it's awesome to see.
Admittedly, the playwright storyline waned a bit for me at times but it was interesting to see how other female characters have coped since the plague.
The real standout for this book was Dr. Mann's and 355's relationship. I have wanted them to get together since the first book and this just made me want that even more! I was really drawn to Dr. Mann's confession that she just wanted 355 to like her, her bravery and trust in 355's judgement. I love the way they've come into their own way of communicating and 355 is as protective over her as she is Yourick. Sure, her pretending/pretending to pretend (?) she has feelings for Yourick was interesting but a relationship between her and Dr. Mann would be awesome.
I have no doubt the next book will be just as great as the last 2.
