It was so good. Finished it last night, lying in bed, all the feels. Damn.

Definitely up there as one of my favorite series I’ve ever read. I love road trip stories like Preacher and this even directly referenced it in a few issues which I loved. Some bittersweet moments and sad endings for some, I even cried on the last few pages, but I would recommend this series to anyone. Setting it in 2002 dates it a tad bit, but hell I’m reading it in 2024, I’ll still check out season 1 of the show, but wow cannot wait to read this again in a few years.

Only in a few issues, around Ohio area.

And the main character Yorick is just so childish and annoying. I don't know his exact age. But he acts like a 15 year old kid.

But I was curious if anyone else felt this way early on. Hopefully he develops as the book goes on.

But I wanted to see how others felt about him.

Why was Yorick and his monkey survived ? And also Sam Why everyone else died ? What happens at the end ? Do they reach wherever they were going and save humanity.

So i’m reading #58. Fuck. Just no. No.

i just finished y the last man comics, took me about 4 days. And i dont know wha to think of it

Generally the world building was weird, nothing made sense and the scale of things were off. Like 8 girls being able to starve half of the country by themselves just by blocking a road. The white house attacked by 5 middle age housewives, the israelis just taking a chooper just like that.... everything was off

I didnt like yorick for the most part (god what a weird name) he is extremely dumb, he is naive and got many people killed by being dumb, most of the characters were also very dumb, except for 355 (was that the number)

Many thing were predictable, some of the "filler" was pretty bad and boring.

The political commentary is non-sensical and stupid, i am not american but the whole president jokes, hillary clinton references, the whole comic keeps revolving around womans hating man and then the man comes out and says "hey you are all wrong!" and repeat. just plain stupid

​

even after that.... the ending broke me. There arent many times where i wish a character haven't died and this is one of those. Seeing yorick grow old and the monkey dying... i guess they grow on me in these 4 days.

Really disappointed it didn’t get picked up 😞

I’m sure this has been said on this sub many times but I had to say it again. At least we got one though 🫶🏽

Ashley Romans & Missi Pyle absolutely killed it.

Hey I finally got a book called Y:The Last Man Book 1 at a store yesterday.

Been searching but can’t find where to watch it or buy it

Y: the Last Man is one of my favorite comics series (along with Runaways, another Brian K. Vaughan creation) but I never knew there was a TV series until today, when I saw it had been removed from hulu (along with marvels Runaways, Ironically). Is it worth checking out, or does it not live up to the comics at all?

Since the series is going to leave Hulu, I want to buy it as a digital download or Blu-ray Disc. It’s not on iTunes and I can’t find a Blu-ray on Amazon.

Is there anywhere I can buy this???

Or are the studios forcing honest people to pirate it since they can’t legally buy it?!?!?

I swear there’s a full page of Yorick arriving in DC with him in front of RFK stadium but I cannot find it. I thought it was an early issue but it might be a later one that shows his initial escape of NYC? Can someone point me in the right direction? I live right by RFK and wanted to make it my computer background

I think to finish the story i'll have to read the comics. I would have liked a 2nd season. Those that have read the comics are they different from the tv series? I know that the comic series takes place in 2002. I think it would have been interesting to see it take place during that era instead of the 2020's. Interesting series to watch while living through the covid-19 pandemic.

I didn't think I'd ever get to watch a series where the characters were more stupid than those of The Walking Dead, but this show has them beat.

Hilariously low IQs for everyone. Utter dross TV.

hey! i’m 15, (16 in two months) i know i’m getting to the point where it’s kind of silly to ask these questions but i’ve finished reading paper girls and I’m almost finished reading Saga both of which i’m just in love with. I wanted to continue my journey into the works of Vaughan but i understand Y The Last Man is very adult. Do y’all think it’s sutible, and if not why? thanks! Bonus: I would love an answer for this in regards to Ex Machina as well.

I'm still processing what I just read but bloody hell I feel like my heart has been ripped out, and then I got a heart transplant which was promptly ripped out by Scorpion from Mortal Kombat with a fatality. I had been going through the deluxe editions for months now, it felt like part of my daily ritual, catching up with Yorick, 355 and Dr Mann. And how he was surviving in the world. I felt like I was part of the group.

But really I'm just so fucking gutted with what happened to 355... I know I'm incredibly late to the party and I'm likely opening up old wounds for the rest of you, but I really just need to have a cry with someone lol.

I was waiting for S2 and I just googled and discovered it got canned. It was really fucking good, too.

I've just finished watching the TV series. I didn't quite like it. The pacing was too slow, there were side stories that ate up too much air time and as the series went on, it seemed to drift further and further away from the Comic series I loved. It became less about Y the Last Man, and more about Feminism meets Walking Dead. There were some episodes I was saying to myself, where's Yorick? Is he gonna make an appearance before the episode ends?

Acting, I didn't mind Yorick, didn't mind Allison (not sure why she's a kid here), but I didn't like Agent 355. Her voice was hard to hear, she sounded like Kermit the frog or something. Conversely speaking, in the Comics she was my actually favorite character.

​

So while I knew the series was cancelled, I wanted to see if it was good. It wasn't, and I'm not really sad that there won't be anymore episodes. If there was, it'd probably take 50 more seasons for them to tell the story completely.

hi so i bought the first trade for Y the Last Man and i liked what i read but i’m not a massive fan of the actual quality of the book, the paper wasn’t the best and it just looked kinda dried out, the omnibus though looked like it was much better paper quality until i heard about a compendium

is the compendium the exact same as the trade or is it better quality than that? there’s 0 videos on overviews for the book so it’s hard to know , if anyone could provide pictures if possible aswell that would be super helpful, thanks

Hi, I wanted to watch this show and I saw that it was canceled. Is it still worth starting? Is there a satisfying ending, or does it end on a cliffhanger? (I don't know the comics)

I loved the show, but I wish it had more world-building. I think you could have done a lot with relatively little effort. They could have shown (or even mentioned in three sentences) how lesbian couples are comparatively better off. They could have hinted at how religion adapted. I mean, how much effect would a two line exchange have had? "Madam President, I have the Pope/Ayatollah on line 1." - "Tell her I'll call back." Also, from a Christian perspective, the Event (why doesn't it get a name?) is on par with Creation, the Fall, the Deluge and Jesus' death. Does this mean there is a new covenant?

Also, does anyone else get the feeling that 98% of the houses are abandoned, even if only 50% of the population died? I guess a lot of people are in camps, but then they don't get enough representation on screen.

The dearth of information on other countries has been mentioned before. They get phone calls from Greece and Israel - why can't we learn more? How could the mentioned Israel at length in multiple episodes, but not even hint at how the Event has impacted the Israel/Palestine conflict? We (very low-key) learn that Republicans have been hit harder than Democrats because they had more men in the ranks. What does this mean for countries with more gender equality compared to countries where female careers are the exception?

And there are some reasons for Yorick not to constantly have sex to, you know, ensure the continued existence of the human race, but that that is not even mentioned, let alone discussed feels unsatisfying.

Edit: Not least by /u/asa-monad's advice, I now read the comic books, so let me contrast how well it does in comparison:

• Lesbians: Yes, they feature more prominently, but the only couples we see form after the apocalypse. OTOH, the show emphasizes the grief for husbands more, so in the comics it feels less lopsided.
• Religion: Okay, there is a religious subsubplot, that's nice. Also, one character interprets the gendercide as the rapture.
• Houses: In the comics it's also not a problem to commandeer a house, but we don't see (or recognize) as many completely abandoned neighborhoods.
• Other countries: Lots of countries visited, okay amount of information on them (I mean, some key facts stand out, like that Australian subs are the only operational ones left, but still there's less information than on the US. Which is more than fair for an American work of art).
• No constant fertilization: Essentially the same.

All in all I have to say that comic and series both have their strengths and weaknesses wrt to world building. The comic books cover more details, while the series gives a better sense of a complete society in breakdown (the comics focus too much on the roadtrip, especially in the beginning - far too few throngs). I also like the parallel threads of the show better and the focus on the government.

So I just finished the show and would like to know more about the show, which is why I would like to read the comic.
