With the same great quality and format as the first two deluxe editions, which is nice for uniformity's sake, this is the best option for collectors and casual readers both. A large hardcover with a removable dust jacket, heavy and high-quality pages, sturdy binding, and a bonus at the end (original script from one of the episodes in this one), mean that there is little to discourage you from getting this edition. Volume three collects the fourth and fifth trade paperbacks (out of ten) of this extremely popular series, and here the story only continues to impress, and possibly improves.
In the story-arc covered by
"Ring of Truth"
, we catch up with Yorick and Co. in San Fransisco (one of the few truly functional cities left in America) where Dr. Mann is approaching a major breakthrough in discovering the reason why Yorick and Ampersand survived the extermination of all other men. We also are treated to a little history for both Beth (Yorick's girlfriend) and Hero (Yorick's sister), as they become more central to the story. A new group of ex-Culper Ring secret society types enters the fray here, as well as the previously-only-glimpsed ninja chick from Deluxe Edition #
2
, who is taking orders from some mysterious Boss, and manages to steal Ampersand . This is perhaps the most exciting of all the Y story-arcs up to this point, and competes with "Safeword" for the most popular for fans. [5-stars]
The second half of this book, also found in the TPB
"Girl on Girl"
, follows Yorick and friends on a sea voyage across the Pacific in an attempt to reach Japan and liberate Ampersand. Needless to say, the journey turns out to offer a lot more adventure than 355, Dr. Mann, and Yorick would have liked, but it makes for an interesting read. The cruise ship on which they charter passage on turns out to be more than it first appeared to be, and a run-in with the Australian navy might spell disaster for all on board. At the same time, Yorick finds himself caught up in the arms of another beautiful woman (the Ship's Captain), who also proves to be more than he initially believed. We also get to catch up with what has happened with Yorick's girlfriend Beth, who is going through a scary hallucination-filled meeting with some Aboriginals(?) in the Outback. Overall, not one of the most popular story-arcs, but still very enjoyable and progresses the story appreciably. [5-stars]
This story of the last man on Earth, surrounded by almost exclusively beautiful girls, continues to get better and better. It is easy to see why it has become so popular. If you've waited this long to get the books, go for them in these deluxe editions, its worth it! Very highly recommended!
