As this deluxe edition begins, we catch up on the adventures of Yorick's monkey Ampersand (whose biology may hold the key to stopping the male-killing plague) and tells the origin of Yorick's mysterious protector, Agent 355 as Yorick searches for his fiancée in Australia, with deadly results. From Australia, Yorick and his companions continue on to Japan to learn the truth behind Ampersand's abduction.

Deluxe editions are the way to go. Volume 4 may be the best so far.

Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
These deluxe editions are definitely the way to go, presenting the story on large, high-quality pages, tightly bound in a dust-jacketed hardcover. Not only are they the best way to read the story, they also make a great-looking collection (unlike the standard paperback editions). Besides that, each of these deluxe editions includes never-before-seen bonus material, the written script for one scene of the series in this case.
Volume 4 includes the stories from the Paper Dolls and Kimono Dragons paperbacks, meaning we're 4/5 through the entire series after this one. This volume is what puts the 'epic' in Yorick's epic journey around the world, as we find him in Australia, Japan, and China. A lot of back-story is included here, as we learn about Dr. Mann's, 355's, and Alter's troubled pasts, as well as the secret history behind Ampersand. Clues about the origin of the plague are popping up, though there is still much shrouded in mystery. The top-notch storytelling we've experienced throughout the series continues on, and Yorick and Co.'s story is just as exciting as ever. I particularly enjoyed Yorick's adventures in Japan, as we learn more about how that culture has coped with the loss of all the men.
Needless to say, I look forward to the final deluxe edition, which is sure to finish off this exciting story with a bang. Highly recommended!

Y: The Last Man Continues On, Better Than Ever
Jan 9 2011
By Joseph Born
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover
Y: The Last Man is unique in the comic book world in two ways. One, it doesn't have anything to do with superheroes. Two, the main character may be a male... but he's the only one in the entire world! This volume collects mostly origin stories, which isn't bad at all. It's actually entertaining. The artwork is good and the writing astonishing. Overall, I recommend this deluxe edition for anyone who is a fan of Y: The Last Man.

Get ready for the last one!

Quick Review: A good read but not as good as the first three books.
No Spoilers!
The comic takes more time in developing extensive history behind the characters. I've read that many fans found it to be boring but I was unable to get bored considering I was already in love with the world and the characters and was more than open to read an entire book that is basically the design of the calm before the storm.
In film terms: This book is basically the point in the movie when it presents all the problems that the protagonists are going to have to face in the last fourth of the movie. Basically the end of the 5th sequence and presenting the 6th sequence just at the end of the second act.
Enjoy and worth the money to own.
