Darque Edge Posted March 6, 2004 Report Share Posted March 6, 2004 Of all the Vertigo titles on the go at the moment, I'd have to say that Y-The last man is probably the one most deserving of it's MR tag. If you don't read YTLM, it's a simple concept - all the men on earth have died except one guy and his monkey. The latest storyline, 'Safeword' has dealt with S&M in a very well done way. Unlike Garth Ennis overly humourising the element, he actually tied it into a storyline which has advanced the plot in a surprising way, while at the same time being faithful to Dom/sub scenario without making it seem too over the top - althoughthe last page of the first issue was something of a shock. Do you like the series? What are your thoughts on it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted March 7, 2004 Report Share Posted March 7, 2004 It's been a while since I read Y, but I love this book. DC/Vertigo surprised me a few issues into the series when they used the word "cunt" -- a longtime no-no for the publisher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drqshadow Posted March 7, 2004 Report Share Posted March 7, 2004 It's getting a little strange that everybody Yorick starts to think about cheating on his girlfriend with miraculously winds up dead just after he's finished with them... Great premise, and I love the book's visual style. drq Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brett Posted March 8, 2004 Report Share Posted March 8, 2004 I haven't gotten anything past the first TPB, but I'm looking for it, and in the future, I believe I will be reading them all. Great, great comic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darque Edge Posted October 31, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2005 Pushing the boundaries again... If anyone is still reading this, what are their thoughts on the latest development - full frontal male nudity? The way this was done, I think this is a first, but I'm not sure...it was certainly less abstract than in Watchmen, which was handled differently.

Missy Posted June 27, 2007 Report Share Posted June 27, 2007 I'm shocked that's still up on DC's website! Once that series is over I'm going to buy all of the trades, so I can read them all at once. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dread Posted June 27, 2007 Report Share Posted June 27, 2007 I'm shocked that's still up on DC's website! Once that series is over I'm going to buy all of the trades, so I can read them all at once. You know, I have a friend who watched the Lost DVDs in a couple of weeks and said he couldn't imagine waiting week to week for it. I likened it to waiting month to month for Y The Last Man. I've been doing it since the beginning and it is the single most consistent comic book run I have ever had the pleasure of reading from the beginning. That includes Preacher.

Dread Posted January 11, 2008 Report Share Posted January 11, 2008 I'm all caught up...one more issue to go? Holy Fuck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drqshadow Posted January 11, 2008 Report Share Posted January 11, 2008 They have an awful lot to wrap up in one issue, but I'm optimistic. It hit a lull for about a year, but has picked up nicely for the conclusion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dread Posted January 11, 2008 Report Share Posted January 11, 2008 The moment with the lighter a few issues back might be the best comic book moment of 2007 for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
