One of my goals in 2021 is to read more. See other books I've read or listened to here.
I hadn’t read Y the Last Man Vol 1 in many years, but I would always count this as one of my favorite comics. I love BK Vaugne’s concise writing and Pia Guirre’s simple art.
When a mysterious instentaneous plague kills every animal on the planet with a Y chromosome, Yorick Must discover why he and his pet monkey are the only two males to survive.
This book definitely hits different after 2020 and the Corona Virus Pandemic. It’s a very different pandemic or global plague than the one we are currently going thru but there are some aspects that do cycle through the emotions and events that have happened in real life. People storm the capital for goodness’ sake! Yorick has to navigate the new world and a ravaged landscape to find his family and find out why he’s the only man left on earth. This volume of the comic is only the beginning and the tip of the iceberg in this story. In this volume, Yorick starts his journey to find out what happened to the world, and he finds some of his crew who are going to go on this journey with him. This book definitely wets your appetite to find out what happens to those characters. If you like books where the characters have to travel and tackle difficulties in the landscape, books about pandemics or plagues or catastrophic global events, or if you enjoy scientific and pos apocalyptic adventures, I would recommend this comic.
