Y the Last man is a pretty entertaining story.
However it is not unlike anything that we have seen before. Movies like "Children of Men" and "I am Legend" share a lot in common with Y. As far as my impressions about those stories, I thought "I am Legend" was alright. I really liked Children of Men though. Y does not have the luxury of being a 2 hour movie so it has a lot more chances to piss me off. There are plenty of things not to like about this comic. The most glaring problem is the main character who, at least in the first three books of the series, just walks around acting like douche bag. Being the last man on Earth you would think that he would have some sort of sense of responsibility but instead he is completely selfish. He is a self righteous smart ass with only his best interests in mind. The way the story is structured is also kind of predictable. Like of course those astronauts were going to die. Of course the creepy shadow lady was Yorick's mom. I also don't really like the Amazons that are so crazy that they actually chop off their boobs. I feel like this crosses the line in so many ways. The art work is so so. One problem with the art is that they do not really do a good job of conveying motion. I guess its not a big deal but in some instances i have no idea that they are even moving when they are supposed to be. Some of the other characters like the his two female companions and the monkey are really good and are the driving force of the comic for me. I especially like badass agent 355. I'm probably going to check out the rest of the series when I get a chance.
