Y: The Last Man by Brian K. Vaughan and Pia Guerra is one of the most glorious comic books one can experience. It is not only the crowning achievement of both creators’ comic book work to date, but no doubt in the top tier of the comic book industry’s finest pieces of work in the last decade. Explaining why is another Hero Worship column – and another thorough re-read – entirely, but suffice to say that if you like your comics of the “awesome” variety, Y: The Last Man should be on your bookshelf.
One of the things that the series, and Vaughan as a writer in general, has on its side is a mastery of the cliffhanger. It’s admittedly been a while since I read the series in full, but I honestly can’t remember one single issue of the series that left me without a “I’ll just read ONE more…” feeling at the end. But as much as Y: The Last Man is an achievement in serial storytelling structurally, it’s even more successful in the mysteries, characters, and relationships it cautiously builds throughout its 60 issues.
