Nun erreichen Yorick, Ampersand und Agentin 355 endlich Paris, wo Yoricks lang gesuchte Verlobte Beth auf ihn wartet. Aber auch die schwerbewaffneten Frauen, die ihm von Anfang an auf den Fersen waren. Dort, in der Stadt der Lichter, scheint die Suche des letzten Mannes ihr Ende zu finden.

[timtom_1 · Bewertung: 3 von 5 Sternen]

This volume marks the end of the "Last Man" series. All in all, I enjoyed reading it but I never quite got into the story. I think the idea itself is brilliant, and the first episodes really did it justice, but then since volume 2, the story quickly lost its pace and became too convoluted. I also became quickly annoyed by the constant adolescent and phallocratic gallows humor. The future envisioned by Vaughan and Guerra might be what would become of our world if all the men would die, but only if all women were indeed as fantasized by pubescent boys. Fortunately, they aren't.

This is the final volume in the series, where after a plague, Yorick and his monkey Ampersand were the last two males on the planet. Yorick has been searching for his girlfriend for 5 years now, and at the same time he has had to hide from those who are trying to find him to figure out why he survived. I really liked this one. I thought it did a really good job of wrapping up the series. This, in my opinion, was one of the better books in the series.

Still digesting this one. It didn't exactly make a cheerful read. May have to re-read the entire series before I really make up my mind as it did suffer somewhat from publishing delays and me losing some of the plot.

It took me around 3 years to finish this series, but I felt like this was a very satisfying ending. I don't think the whole series was great, I got kinda bored a couple graphic novels in and took a long break. I think that it would probably been better if it was shorter, but I don't regret reading it. Really what makes it is the witty dialogue and some of the "what if" interpolation of behaviors in a world with only women.Thanks Mr. Vaughan, it was a fun ride.

I enjoyed this book more than the last volume. No we never got any clear answers but I think it was a decent ending. My only issue was that

Vladimir was the ruler of Russia. Granted we do not find out how or why this happened but it seemed weird that the only country that can have a male ruler does.

A melancholy but fitting end to the Last Man series, where all the threads are resolved, and not to everyones' liking. I was much more satisfied with this volume that the last. The deaths of 355 and especially Ampersand were very moving (I teared up a little for Amp) :-(.

Brilliant conclusion to a superb series. Tough, heartbreaking but satisfying end to Yorick's journey - writer Brian Vaughn doesn't take the easy way out with tying off any of the threads of the story. This is a keeper - all 10 volumes.

[krumbs_1 · Bewertung: 2 von 5 Sternen]

I was disappointed in the conclusion. I got the impression that it was supposed to either go further (another volume) or end earlier. Just kind of petered out.

[mrgan-2 · Bewertung: 3 von 5 Sternen]

Hm. Not a very satisfying ending. A bit artificially serious and ponderous, with way too many last-minute additions to an already overripe story.

Much like the show 'Lost', to which the series is indeed very similar, it complicates the initial premise and introduces characters and ideas at an unsustainable pace, so that it becomes difficult to care about any specific point. The tone also shifts wildly, with drastic changes in people's personalities explained in a hamfisted way.

It's a good series overall, but it really would've benefited from some streamlining.

[raschneid_1 · Bewertung: 3 von 5 Sternen]

An okay ending to an increasingly cheesy, lackluster series. However, this book's intensity and sense of tragedy didn't work for me because the characters hadn't had enough depth until now to really merit all this storm and fury. And once more, the writer's solution for how to conclude an emotional arc for Yorick is the random, pointless death of a woman.

So, there was some beautiful art and writing in this volume, but all in all I wasn't impressed with this series.

[dr_zirk · Bewertung: 4 von 5 Sternen]

The final volume of Brian Vaughan's Y: The Last Man brings the series to a worthy end, as the author tosses many of the core foundations of his characters and his scenario into the air, and seemingly allows the pieces to fall where they may. I definitely appreciate the final chapter ("Epilogue"), which throws the narrative forward sixty years in order to show how questions raised throughout the series work themselves out. While not all of the individual pieces of the end of the story are entirely satisfying, Vaughan deserves credit for taking considerable risks in drastically mixing up the core elements of his story - a safer conclusion was certainly within reach, and the fact that the author doesn't deliver the obvious makes this final volume worth reading.

Well, that was sad.

[theboylatham_1 · Bewertung: 2 von 5 Sternen]

The story is finished and a look into the future.

[ironicqueery · Bewertung: 4 von 5 Sternen]

Everything is wrapped up in this final volume of Y: the Last Man. Well, almost everything. This is a solid ending to a series I hate to see end. I think the plot and idea was rich enough to easily last 10 more volumes. Great series and great last volume.

[.monkey.-1 · Bewertung: 4 von 5 Sternen]

I thought the ending was a let-down. There was a lot of great stuff in this series, but this last volume was not made of it. Oh well.

[branadain · Bewertung: 5 von 5 Sternen]

This phenomenal series concludes without slowing down. The events and revelations contained herein continue to be surprising--even shocking--yet seem appropriate and fitting, even in the many tragic moments. (If you finish with completely dry eyes, you may want to get your DNA sequenced, as you might not be human.) There are no perfect happy endings here, but life goes on, which in this epic tale was never a surety.

[arctic1stranger · Bewertung: 4 von 5 Sternen]

This is the last of the series and it is hard for me to tell whether my disappointment was from how the story eventually ends, or the fact that it ended. I loved this series, even though it did meander at times. Yorick finds Beth, but of course there are glitches in everything. It left me wanting another volume. If you have read this far, you HAVE to see how it ends, but like it said, it left me wanting more.

[aerrin99 · Bewertung: 5 von 5 Sternen]

Although I spent the middle of this series kind of annoyed (how many /more/ ways can we develop for women to be crazy, violent, and selfish?), it redeemed itself in the last few volumes, and especially in this last one. I was not as attached to the characters as some (perhaps because I read the whole thing in two days), but I still found bits of this volume shocking and surprising - the sort of events that make you gasp, and then make you acknowledge that they just /fit/. I'm not often one for epilogue-type wind-downs, but I thought this was done nicely, and I really liked that the book pushed things to uncomfortable places that resulted from following the same train of thought and worldview it's set up in the previous nine volumes. And I really liked the end.

[merrymeerkat · Bewertung: 5 von 5 Sternen]

Wow is this a great graphic novel. So glad I've returned to reading them (now that I have a Kindle Fire). Story 1 is really really strong, the art is fantastic and remains that way throughout the book. Love the pet monkey. The last man is a great premise.



In Story 2, I love how Yorrick gets gropped, hysterical. I'm loving the story line but it is a bit scary if you have a 3 year old son. In story 3, the Republican slam made me laugh. The shootout is a fun scene and I'm continuing to love this.

In story 4, there are some really great lines (speach, not art). I love seeing D.C. portrayed in comics and books. I am put off by the Amazon women, who are man haters. And its interesting that Yorick's sister is an Amazon.

The final story in this volume was shorter than the rest and ended on a cliff hanger. I was stunned that Hero (Yorrick's sister) shot the woman. I can't wait to read the next volume in the series!!

[laneliterati · Bewertung: 5 von 5 Sternen]

At the end of this series, I reflect back and find that to read a complete run of a comic gives you the opportunity to judge it not as 60 issues or 10 volumes, but as ONE STORY. Vaughan shows amazing talent for story and the art was consistantly good throughout. The story took me on an outstanding journey and I am a more complete person for having read this. Bravo "Y: The Last Man", for being an epic that presented its point and issues well, while not being overly chaotic or preachy.I will recommend this run OFTEN.

I bought a few single issues and read the first 9 volumes from the library. When I found out they had wrapped up the series and that the library was going to take its sweet time getting the final volume I just had to buy it. Now I want to reread the whole thing from the beginning. This is one of the best original comic ideas I have ever ready.

[stacey2112 · Bewertung: 4 von 5 Sternen]

3.5. I'd give the series overall 3.5. Wow. and ouch.
