Has anyone here read Y the Last Man? If so, what did you think of it?

I've read it.

For anyone interested, It's a great series that examines one artists view on how women would fill roles in the absence of men. Something happens, all men on the earth die at the same point in time, apart from Y (Yorick) and it is about his journey.

I think it went a bit silly towards the end, and the utopian dream reached at the end was incredibly unrealistic, but there were some great themes in it.

Have every single issue. Love it. Brian K. Vaughn for President. Seriously, if you haven't checked out SAGA yet, do it right now.

Love all the characters in that book. Love Yorrick, love Ampersand (which is how Yorrick survived the plague, spoiler alert), love Yorrick's sister Hero, love 355, love Allison Mann, love both Beths. The extreme feminists in this world, the ones who want all men dead, need to read this book to find out what a world without men would actually be like. Part of the reason why the world of Y is so fucked up is that when half the population goes, a lot of the skills necessary to run civilization go with them. That, and the fact that for years, women spend a lot of time just burying their husbands, brothers, boyfriends and sons.

Comic book fans swear by Y, and Vaughn is one of the best in the industry right now. He's great enough that he doesn't need to work for Marvel or DC, he can just write his own creator owned series and the books fly off the shelves because he wrote them. If you haven't read Y, do it. I won't spoil more of the plot, but its not just about a world with one man left, a lot of the political and intrigue of a world without men, and a world with a dangerous secret (just who killed all the men, and why?) is a very trilling read.

Never read it, but saw an obscure film based on it:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Last_Man_on_Planet_Earth

It was full of misandrous and feminazi themes, depicting the male sex as deserving of extinction because of how violent they are while pretty much all women are lesbians (except for some who engage in hologram sex with a male) who live in a peaceful new world. It's an interesting concept, but all it does is perpetuate anti-male stereotypes.

It's one of my favorite series. Wish I could find where all my copies of it are so I can read it again.

I read it and its full gynocentric bs and stupid feminist overtones. Even men there are few men on earth they still are stupid, moronic and seen as disposable.

Great series, good art and story telling but definitely lost the plot at the end. I would say the last five issues are bs and were just written to allow the series to end on a nice round number of 50.
