Y: The Last Man Volume 03
Writer: Brian K. Vaughan
Artist: Pia Guerra, Jose Marzan Jr.
Y: THE LAST MAN is the gripping saga of Yorick Brown, an unemployed and unmotivated slacker who discovers that he is the only male left in the world after a plague of unknown origin instantly kills every mammal with a Y chromosome. Accompanied by his mischievous monkey and the mysterious Agent 355, York embarks on a transcontinental journey to find his girlfriend and discover why he is the last man on Earth.
Now, the entire critically acclaimed Y: THE LAST MAN saga written by Brian K. Vaughan, one of the writers of LOST, is collected into a series of oversized, hardcover editions. In this third volume, Yorick’s unbalanced sister Hero tracks him to San Francisco, only to find him seemingly succumbing to the male-killing plague after losing his still-unused engagement ring to agents of the Setauket Ring. Plus, Yorick, Agent 355 and Dr. Mann ship out across the Pacific to Japan in pursuit of Yorick’s stolen monkey Ampersand, whose innards may hold the key to mankind’s future

Matthew – I didn’t have those graduation goggles for JLA; I can appreciate your thoughts and reasoning for it, but to me it seemed like a frustrated James Robinson trying to squeeze all of his “grand” ideas that he had in store for the Justice League into one issues and whining about the fact that he is no longer on the book. Yes, I agree that I would like to see all of those adventures take place, but
A) not with that Justice League, and more importantly
B) not that creative team.
On paper the whole Eclipso arc could’ve been just as cool as any of those (exception being the cthulhu thing, which was a bad idea no matter how you cut it), but thanks to James Robinson’s writing it fell flat on its face. He may have written Starman, but that doesn’t excuse his awful run on JLA. Will anyone remember this Justice League? Yes, right up there with the Justice League Detroit.
And for the record, I remember the Tasmanian Devil’s tenure in the JLI :)
Will anyone remember this Justice League? Yes, right up there with the Justice League Detroit.
Do not badmouth Justice League Detroit. D:<
not every comicbook has to be made into a tvseries or film. If people want to experience y the last man, they better buy the books, and read them.
