Y: The Last Man
I am a very big comic book fan, be it marvel heroes or DC guys, I always liked all those superhero comics. But when you grow up you like to read things that are better but no one can make read works of literature that is something I will read only when I am like around 50 or something. I came across a mature comic book with a weird title “Y: The Last Man”. I had read a bit of its synopsis from wikipedia and was quite a bit interested in the theme of the book. So I went ahead found the comic to read it.
The comic book’s story revolves around the character named Yorick Brown, who is the last man on earth and that is literally, this happens when one day the whole of the world is wiped out of male mammals including humans and animals. The only males to survive this apocalyptic fate are Yorick Brown and his male capuchin monkey. He has no idea why he and his monkey survived whatever that killed all the males of the world but he will find it out soon.
The story’s theme is one of the most famous male fantasies that is to be the only man on earth, but in the comic they deal with what might really happen if all the men were wiped out. It shows how many woman would be troubled and how many of them would want to become leaders and do all that they couldn’t when they were with men. It shows the chaos that would ensue with the genocide of an entire sex. It’s quite mature and not recommended for kids but adults might find it fun to read. The artwork in this comic is superb and the cover art works is one of the nest I have seen. The writer of this story is definitely a brilliant man. The story is all set to end with its 60th comic as written on wikipedia. I hope the ending of such a story be great too.
You won’t always finding me reviewing comics so this is like one of those once in a blue moon stuff.
