this thing is getting soap operatic. now that yorick had sex once, he keeps on hooking up with people. every woman who learns he was engaged (which he wasn't) rather than just having a girlfriend is all like, oh, I never would have hooked up with you, last man on earth, if I had known you were *engaged* instead of just in a relationship. also, agent 355 once said she loved yorick and has tried to walk that back ever since. now she hooks up with the doctor, and yorick walks in on it and gets all

Meh... not much happened.

Notes: Grade and review pending re-read. Collective review for volumes 5-6 can be found here: Y: The Last Man - The Deluxe Edition Book Three.*The name of this book is Y: The Last Man, Vol. 6: Girl on Girl, not, as Goodreads insists, "Girl on Girl." This is due to their myopic policy that a comic book with both a volume number and subtitle shall be listed here only by the subtitle. Every comic book reader with more than a passing interest knows this is fundamentally incorrect. Refer to this book...

Girl on Girl sees 355 and Dr Mann have a brief tumble, and Yorick have a brief meltdown when he walks in on them. Be cool, dude. Be cool.Meanwhile, Yorick once again punches far above his weight class and boinks the hot captain of the ship they've bordered in order to chase down Ampersand and the ninja that took him.There's a lot here that I thought was wacky, but I was really rolling my eyes when the captain (view spoiler)[ decided to just go down with her ship after the Aussie sub shot it beca...

So, a lot happens in this volume. Unfortunately, it's the first collection that probably deserved a little less than 4 stars. If not for the incredible ending, I would probably give it a 3-3.5.Vaughan explores a little of what Yorick's girlfriend is up to in Australia and how she's coping with the plague. We're treated to an excellent dream sequence where Beth (view spoiler)[gets a sign that Yorick is still alive (hide spoiler)].The only thing I didn't like was the ridiculous subplot with pirate...

A further installment in the adventure of Yorick - the last man - and his two traveling companions, who are hoping to reach Japan and hopefully work on a cure for the disease that has killed off all males on Earth. The dialog as usual was superb - always snappy and timely, and the drawing was excellent as well. I just thought this volume wasn´t as fast-moving as the prior installments, that it somewhat dragged along, with the plot twists almost canceling each other out, until the denouement. I t...

Pirates!?, Outback, Monkeys! Oh My.

This volume got back in the game for me. Yorick, 355, and Dr. Mann have managed to board a ship headed out to Japan so they can search for Ampersand. Unfortunately, it looks like some horny, teenage boy got a hold of this volume sometime before I did and ripped out several sections of this book, pages I assume contained naked women. I can only infer that Yorick, for the second time in the volume, had sex, this time with the captain of the ship and Dr. Mann and 355 somehow got it on, how this cam...

Two years have now passed since the plague struck, and Dr Allison Mann is pretty sure that the source for male human immunity is in Ampersand's body - thing is Ampersand was last seen been taken by a mystery Japanese mercenary. Y, Mann and Agent 335 have to track and follow Ampersand's trail across the Pacific! Pirates ahoy! 8 out of 12.2017 read

Magical boat ride. :)This volume isn't so much edifying as it was adventuresome. Stowing away, getting involved in boat intrigue, drug smuggling, Australian navy, blood, death, and destruction. But what really is interesting about this one is the characters. There's something really fascinating about that captain. What an odd duck. :)And the last bit? The one about Beth still in Australia? What is she ON? Crazy! :) :)

Underwhelming, compared to the other volumes in the series so far.

Technically, this volume wasn't probably any worse than the previous volumes in this series, but for whatever reason, I just wasn't as into it as I have been. I think that one of the things that's sort of been bothering me about this series is perfectly explained by one of the characters in this volume:"It figures. An entire planet of women, and the one guy gets to be the lead."In that way, this title isn't really any different from, say, Dances with Wolves or the Last Samurai, where instead of

The quest for Ampersand, Yorick's kidnapped pet monkey, continues....Previously, in Y:The Last Man, we learned that the key to the male-pocalypse wasn't Yorick, the last man, but his little pet Ampersand. It turns out that Ampersand's stereotypical habit of flinging his own poo was of some benefit to Yorick because in that excrement was an antidote to whatever killed off all other males on the planet.So, monkey shit, good. Japanese scientist who kidnapped Ampersand, bad.This installment finds 35...

A frequent complaint about this series is that even though there is only one guy left, he is still the center of everything. It is to some extent, every man's fantasy--you're all that's left and all the women are throwing themselves at you because they are horny and/or want to get pregnant. That being said, as a reader and as a woman, I find this series absolutely fascinating, well-done, with excellent and witty dialogue, awesome literary references and really interesting questions explored. Eve...

Cruise ship pirates? An attacking submarine? Flashy excursions into lesbianism? Espionage that Agent 355 doesn't know about? C'mon, that's worth savoring!True, Girl on Girl is by far the most ridiculous volume in the Y the Last Man series, but does that mean it has no value? I wouldn't jump to that conclusion, or merely write off this sea adventure as one note or immature for its sexuality. The story is simpler here, but I'm fine with taking a break from the thornier issues Vaughan has set up ov...

Well, this volume was a bit mellowed down from the previous ones, but when you have invested so much in a series, a small dull moment must never bring you down. A lot does not happen in this novel, as Yorrick and company hitchhike a ride to Japan on a ship.

Pirates! Submarines! Australian Aboriginal magic!The mostly land-based adventures of the last man on earth takes to the high seas. Deception, corruption, and sea-sickness all highlight this next volume of Yorick’s story.In general I have enjoyed this series and this time was no exception. The story continues to be unique and interesting. This volume was action packed and had a lot of information to advance the story. Also, some of the theories about what would happen in a post-apocalyptic world

From the title to the swordplay to the sophomoric dialogue, this volume plunges Y: The Last Man into cloyingly amateurish territory. Characterization suffers at the behest of sexual antics and cartoonish plots (pirates? Really?). This is the first volume where I found myself skimming the dialogue and panels to just get through scenes. This doesn’t match up with any of the tones from previous volumes, and it makes every unbelievable aspect of the story much more annoying (from a woman getting her...

Volume 6: Girl on Girl - not so good as the earlier volumes but the story still going strong! This volume features an interesting boat ride and a fascinating captain :)Y: The Last Man is about the only man ("The Last Man") to survive a mysterious plague that wiped out every other male of all the species on the planet ("every mammal with a Y chromosome).

Okay.. too many stories, now that they know why Yorick is the last one alive, it's sorta hard to really believe that they are heading to Japan just for &. But adventures are interesting nonetheless.
