- The heat turns way up.
Although I like the previous issue better than this one, Motherland has it's own perks as the story starts to wrap up for our protagonists. Things get a little strange when one of the characters becomes fatally injured, and Yorick almost REALLY dies this time though not of his own occord. I still have no complaints about this series, there's a damn good fight scene, a couple questions finally get answered, and Yorick is still one of the coolest protagonists in graphic novels.

- Issues #49-54 of the Vaughan/Guerra series
Volume 9 collects issues #49-54 of the Brian K. Vaughan and Pia Guerra series. As in the previous TPB, Guerra pencils a four-issue story arc and Goran Sudzuka pencils a pair of one-shots. In the "Motherland" segments the action alternates between a Hong Kong laboratory and rooftop and more on what caused the plague is revealed. Vaughan also progresses the Hero and Alter subplots as the characters converge on France. Issue 53 introduces a new and confusing subplot in Arlington, Virginia and Issue ... Read More

It feels like the end.

Like Lost, Brian K. Vaughan's "Y: The Last Man" is a sweepingly epic series made up of huge mysteries that only get more mysterious with each new volume. Over the course of the first eight books, there has been a lot of build-up with only a few of the major questions answered. That, however, changes with this volume: "Motherland."

In his best effort since the fifth book, Vaughan finally answers the big question: How and why did all the men die out? ... Read More

- THIS SERIES RULES!!!!
This is my favorite series. If you are going to spend the money on a series of graphic novels, this is the one. Especially first three volumes.

- Apocalyptic Graphic Novel
My boyfriend introduced me to this fine graphic novel series by loaning me books "The Last Man 1-3". I'm not really into comic books, so I didn't start reading it for a few months. But when I finally picked it up. I was hooked. So much so that I ordered "Last Man" volumnes 4-9. If you like apocalyptic fiction then you will love this series. Pia Guerra is a fabulous illustrator. I just can't wait till they publish "Last Man" #10. My only advice is to read them in order, otherwise you'll get lost.
