Just started reading this series and so far it has me hooked. Nice clean art, this could easily be a series like The Walking Dead.

It's better than The Walking Dead. Although I definitely agree that it would work as a series.

what Bubbles said. and it would be a good opportunity to have a show with a large, female ensemble cast.

Which is probably why no network would buy it.

"Hey, where's all the guys? Who wants to watch a bunch of chicks gabbing at each other? What is this the Gilmore Girls? Plus, what the hell kind of name is 'Yorrick'?"

I would watch the hell out of a Y the Last Man series. And, yes, I think it's much better than The Walking Dead.

everything is better than the Walking Dead. the show may be alright but the comic is absolute crap. Y takes the same sort of concept and does a significantly better job fleshing it out.

I cant put it down and yes that did not happen with Walking Dead, either the comic or series. This would be so much better as a series. And I'm loving the art, like a cleaner Dave Gibbons.

the art is really good. at first I thought it was kinda plain and boring, but the more I read it the more I realized how good Pia Guerra is at showing the character's emotions - barely noticeable facial expressions, gestures, etc. The last trade is a really good example of that....I don't want to give any plot points away, so I won't go into detail.

Brian K Vaughan has a knack for working with ridiculously talented female artists on ridiculously good comics with sci fi/fantasy elements. See also: Saga.

I am usually sensitive whenever I hear political stuff in a comic book, even one line. Still don't like it with the big two superheroes but this is his won book and he can do whatever he wants. Having said that, I'm enjoying how it's all over the place and not really preaching any point of view. It's just character's opinions. Well done.

And I'm picking up Saga next.

Love BKV. Miss Pia Guerra. Some people didn't like the ending of Y, I did. Enjoyed the heck out of the entire thing. Would make a great TV series.

My imaginary Vertigo comic series (ten years or so back) was 'Tales From No Man's Land'. Rotating top talent could tell stories (in various arc lengths) set in the Y world, but completely independent of the main series.

Pia is really nice in person. I think she did a bunch of Buffy comics after that but I'm really looking forward to her next creator-owned project.

I love this series. Just picked up the first 3 hardcover collections from Mr. Clubb.

Anyone else see the Gibbons similarities? She would have been great on a Watchmen book.

I can see that for sure. I'd love to see her do something with Peter Parker/Spidey.

I loved Y right up to the very disappointing ending.

Now I'm scared of the ending. I'll let you know as I'm running through these issues.

I guess you could call it a controversial ending. I know people that love it and people that hate it. I fall squarely in the "love it" camp, myself.
Don't let it turn you off from finishing the series.

Don't let it get in the way of your enjoyment of the series as you read along. It's a great story.
