A review by joshbrown
Y: The Last Man Omnibus by Brian K. Vaughan
4.0
*The format I read the series in was actually the 5 gorgeous deluxe hardcovers*
This is a wild, fun, and occasionally devastating story. I can now see why people have been eager to adapt it for so long. I was unsure of the main character at first, but he grows and matures and fails and succeeds and becomes more and more interesting throughout. And the art is the true star here, capturing both the action and the emotions beautifully.
While I did really like this, there are story devices used here (romantic chemistry, world building, weaving recurring characters in and out of the story) that Vaughan sometimes struggles with and is much much better at using in Saga.
But even so, by the wistful epilogue issue I was deep in my feelings and thought the landing was successful.
