Y the Last Man

Y the Last Man was a very interesting comic. While I only have read the first book so far, I am intrigued to see what happens. So far I like the characters and the plot. I especially like agent 355. I like the fact that she doesn't have a name. I also enjoyed the structure of the book. Each chapter starts out in the now, then goes back a certain amount of time and works forward again to the present. It makes for an interesting and captivating read. I think that the strongest pages were pages 31 to 33 when all of the men die and you see one panel pictures from all over the world. It was a very good way to convey the fact that this tragedy was happening everywhere and it was also a good way to introduce characters. I also think the art work is amazing! I think the splash page on 59 is my favorite. It is a painting of Yorick jumping out of the white house in front of the American flag with his mother and some other women holding guns below him. It is very dramatic and aesthetically interesting. Since the style of that page is so different from the others, the page really sticks out and makes an impression. I cannot wait to read the other books.
