Customer review of: Y: The Last Man, Vol. 10: Whys and Wherefores

Customer Rating: Average rating of 3/5Average rating of 3/5Average rating of 3/5Average rating of 3/5Average rating of 3/5
Summary: Great series, poor ending.
Comment: I thought that overall the series was great. An interesting concept, well written, and decent art. The ending however was not up to the overall quality. I didn't expect a fairy tale ending -- but I did expect something interesting and fair to the characters we have followed through 10 volumes. Meh.

Summary: Let down
Comment: I agree with the other reviewers who state this last volume is a huge disappointment. The ending is rushed and doesn't make any sense. Almost everyone living is now a clone? Why?

There is a climatic build for the conclusion of one of the story lines and then?..nothing happens. It ends in a way that doesn't make any sense given the characters involved.

The series started out very well but definitely faltered at the end.

Summary: Good Ending to Series.
Comment: A good ending to a great series. Parts were a little disjointed though. That's why I only give it a 4/5.

Summary: No Greater Wrath....
Comment: Plague? Black Magic? Terrorism? Act of God? Could / would something simultaneously kill every mammal possessing a Y chromosome? Even unborn mammals in the womb? Well, according to Y: The Last Man, on July 17, 2002, that's exactly what happened...with the exception of one male human being and one male Capuchin monkey.

Y: The Last Man chronicles the life of Yorick Brown and his pet monkey Ampersand as they are thrust into a female-only society. And society is in chaos. The realization that the planet is doomed without a reproducing, intelligent species is not lost on its inhabitants. Some accept their fate; some fight to find a way to reverse the annihilation; and some even denounce any fight to survive as opposition to God's will.

Hence, to some, Yorick Brown is the ultimate opposition to God's will....A sole human male survivor. So when Yorick teams up with a government agent and a genetic scientist on a journey across the country to get to a laboratory to find out 'what makes him different', or to try to discover if there's a genetic 'solution' to this disaster, you can bet the band of travelers run into some hostile forces.

The stories are delivered in 10 Volumes, with Volume 10 seemingly being the wrap-up of this compelling series. Volumes 1 - 5 are very well told, exciting, twist-filled and keep you pressing on for Volume after Volume. Volumes 6 - 10 start getting a little (just a little!) long in the tooth, as perhaps more of an attempt drag the story out and keep a great revenue generating series alive, but nevertheless, Writer Brian Vaughan keeps readers compelled to press on.

A hardcover compilation of (only the first few???) volumes of the story will be released in late 2008: Y: The Last Man, Book One, Deluxe Edition; I strongly recommend starting with this Book compilation, or at minimum, with Unmanned (Y: The Last Man, Vol. 1) in order to stick with the chronology of the story.

Rumor has it (according to [rumored] Director D.J. Caruso) that a movie adaptation will come out in three films...the first of which could be released as early as 2009 (with [rumored] Shia LaBeouf as Yorick).

The storyline is not without some controversy....Well, I see no controversy, but I'm sure that certain narrow minded groups might view the nature of a population unable to civilly function without men a bit 'controversial'. Hopefully, Hollywood will maintain the integrity of the series and not dumb down this fabulous tale that the authors created.

Summary: Graphic Reader
Comment: Over all I enjoyed the book, although I did feel that the ending was a little rushed. Still would recommend it to anyone who likes a good story.
