5.0 out of 5 starsAmazing, Awesome, Satisfying!, July 1 2011
By Schwang Lae - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Y The Last Man Deluxe Book Five (Hardcover)
This was the first comic book i read that didn't feature a superhero and it is now my all time favorite. There shouldn't be a delay in picking this up(and the previous 4 hardcovers) if you have even an inkling of interest. You will not be disappointed.
This review is from: Y The Last Man Deluxe Book Five (Hardcover)
A beautiful ending to an amazing story. I previously owned all of the paperback version of this series but I fell in love with it so much that I ended up buying all of the hardcovers to sell and replace the paperbacks. You won't be disappointed!

5.0 out of 5 starsThe final volume of a great series, May 11 2011
This review is from: Y The Last Man Deluxe Book Five (Hardcover)
This is the 5th, and last, collected volume of one of the greatest illustrated series ever written "Y the Last Man," and I can't imagine a better ending. We rejoin Yorick, Agent 355, Ampersand, and Dr. Mann as they continue their quest to find Yorick's missing girlfriend and discover a way to preserve the human race. And along the way old friends rejoin the group as the final truth is revealed. Our characters have grown as we've traveled around the world with them and now we discover secrets to their past that have direct bearing on the present condition the world finds itself in. And the mysterious ninja that's been trailing the team? We find out who she is and who she works for. And Yorick may not be the last man left alive after all.
I really want to say more, but I don't want to spoil the ending because I'm not sure its one that anyone would have predicted. And its powerful. Just like in all good stories we have to say goodbye to some of the characters we've grown to know and love. The writing is at its absolute best in the series and Brian doesn't disappoint. He keeps us on the edge of seats constantly turning the page to find out what happens next. And in some places you can't help but be moved as he stirs powerful emotions as we witness what happens to our favorite characters. And Pia's artwork is as fantastic as it was in the beginning. Its a great last volume and an exciting epic conclusion to one of the most powerful stories ever told.
