Y: The last Man - Bd. 4: Offenbarungen

Von Brian K. Vaughan und Pia Guerra

Doppeltes Pech für den gebeutelten letzten Mann der Erde. Erst landet er in den Fängen von 711, einer Kollegin seiner Aufpasserin 355, die ihn sogleich kunstvoll fesselt und im Leder-Outfit plus Peitsche gehörig wachrüttelt. Und dann wird er auch noch mit einer Enklave separatistischer Flintenweiber konfrontiert, denen selbst im Zeitalter der Apokalypse die Unabhängigkeit von den USA das Allerheiligste ist. "Girls just want to have fun", aber so hat Yorick sich das nicht vorgestellt.

Still interesting, but I wasn't as crazy about this one.

3.25, appreciate the back story on Yorick, but still not buying it. Felt like the story was a little weaker in this one.

Summary: Because of Yorrick's penchant for foolhardy bravery - a dangerous and deadly trait for the last man on the planet to have - Agent 355 and Dr. Mann leave him with one of 355's friends, another agent of the Culper Ring, while they run an errand in town. However, Agent 711 has secrets that she hasn't shared even with 355, and Yorrick's stay with her may be as dangerous as anything he might have encountered in town. Later, the trio of travelers run into a separatist militia in Arizona who are convinced that the plague which killed the men was actually a evil government plot... and that goes down about as well as you might expect.Review: While not much happened in this installment to push the plot forward action-wise, it was certainly a heavy-hitter on the character growth and development front. Dr. Mann and Yorrick both have to own up to some nasty truths, and it's a painful process for both of them. The book felt a little bit fragmented; it's two arcs in this volume, instead of one per as the previous installments have been. It was also rather dark - I mean, the whole series has been dark; you can't kill off 50% of the planet in the first three pages without having to face a lot of dark situations - but this one pushed the series into some darker and deeper emotional territory than it had previously gone. (Also some much more mature territory - if you couldn't tell from this volume's title, it's definitely not for the wee-uns, the squeamish, or the faint of heart.) I feel like the artwork has gotten more consistent over time - characters look the same from one panel to the next, as well as from issue to issue, much more than they did at first. The art also gets a little more... experimental? non-standard? in this volume - largely necessitated by some hallucinogenic drugs with which Yorrick gets dosed, but overall used effectively. 4.5 out of 5 stars.Recommendation: A little slower action-wise than previous volumes, but just as insanely compelling anyways. I can't wait to get my hands on the next volume.

It's one of the charms of the Y: The Last Man series that the sillier the storyline gets, the more entertaining the entire package is. This fourth installment features a silly S&M scenario, an all-female Arizona militia, and all kinds of plot thread unraveling and back story explication for the various lead characters. The dialogue remains silly, the broad strokes of the plot remain unbelievable and unexplained, and the art remains subpar (although improving considerably with the arrival of penciller Goran Parlov). But you know, it doesn't matter - Brian Vaughan has the writing chops to pull it off. So I'll keep reading!

This volume was so weird, yet still so amazing. I really liked how much more of Yorick's past is revealed as well as some very interesting details regarding Dr. Mann's clone. This volume was such a quick read because it is non-stop action. Absolutely perfect.

Yorick, the central character, as more hang ups than you can shake a stick at. This is made bearable only because the other characters mock him for it. The central feature of this volume is Yorick's state of mind as his behaviour since the plague is examined under trying circumstances.

[mrgan-2 · Bewertung: 4 von 5 Sternen]

This one's a bit more serious than the first two volumes, so the tone is a bit uneven. But it all works out in the end. Still a compelling story.

Yorrick, 355 and Dr. Mann continue their trek to San Francisco with notable stops in Colorado and Arizona. More time is spent on Yorrick's state of mind in this graphic collecting issues 18-23 of the series. Whether it's looking to the past with the help of another Culper Angent, understanding the grim realities of his current situation or what the future might really hold for him, one sees hints that Yorrick may be prepared to come to grips with his place in the world.The story itself doesn't move forward much in these volumes, but the additional character development more than makes up for it. As always, Vaughan's makeup of the post-plague world in which many competing solutions exist grows more complex with each volume.

3.75 starsYorick, his monkey Ampersand, Agent 55 and Dr. Mann are part-way across the country as they try to get to California to Dr. Mann's lab. Ampersand is sick, so they need to find some medicine for him on the way, but run into a few roadblocks, literally. It's been over a year since I read the last volume of this series, so it's hard for me to compare how this rates with the other volumes. As I was reading it, I quite enjoyed this one, but thinking back, it feels like not much really happened, which is why I'm not quite giving it 4 stars. This one was super-fast to read. I do hope to continue the series much sooner for the next volume.

More laugh out loud stuff in the middle of post apocalyptic depression. Nothing earth-shattering here but it is fun and the characters are cool. Yorick goes through some big changes and as usual almost has sex with many women. Crazy females abound (kinda like in real life) as well as cool references to mass media from my generation. What's not to love. Oh wait there's a monkey too, just like in "The Hangover 2". Monkey's always make things better.

This was brutal. Even after the amount of violence that had plagued Yorick, Agent 355 and Dr. Mann through the first three volumes, I wasn't expecting it to get so dark and gruesome.After the events at the farm house with the astronauts and the Israelis, I was expecting more exciting spy-like adventures and more Yorick sarcasm. I was not expecting a "suicide intervention" and flashbacks to awkward and scarring childhood memories or of the complete bloodbath that was the second story collection as they tried to pass through a blocked area of the interstate, guarded by some really scary, conspiracy theory-loving, militia ladies. I also didn't realize that this journey had already lasted over 18 months. It doesn't seem like the travel from Washington, DC, to Arizona, even with the events that have occurred, should have taken nearly that long. Yes, I'm aware that a large portion of that trip was made on foot, but they also have traveled by train, motorcycle and assorted other transports. I just found the comment a little jarring.It was still an incredibly compelling story and once I started each of the two main stories in the collection, I couldn't put the book back down, but after finishing, I was hesitant to move on to volume 5. Then I saw that the ninja girl that randomly showed up for Ampersand in volume 3 was on the cover, so... now my interest has increased.

This is a more psychologically ruminative installment in the series. It still remains Good Stuff(tm), and I need to get the next book ASAP.
