MAN About Town

In 2002, the world changes forever. Every man, every boy, every mammal with a Y chromosome everywhere on Earth suddenly collapses and dies. With the loss of nearly half the planet’s population, the gears of society grind to a halt, and a world of women are left to pick up the pieces and try to keep civilization from collapsing entirely.

The “gendercide,” however, is not absolutely complete. For some unknown reason, one young man named Yorick Brown and his pet male monkey, Ampersand, are spared. Overnight, this anonymous twentysomething becomes the most important person on the planet — the key, it is hoped, to unlocking the secret of the mysterious sex-specific plague.

For Yorick himself, the most important person on the planet has been agonizingly out of reach. But now, after three long years and 10,000 arduous miles, the last man is closing in on the truth about his lost fiancée — and the shocking facts behind his own survival.

Editorial Reviews

Review

“The best graphic novel I’ve ever read.”
— STEPHEN KING

“Y has more mind-bending plot twists and girls-with-guns than a season of Lost... It’s also just as addictive.”
— GQ

“The greatest comic-book saga since Neil Gaiman's THE Sandman.”—Entertainment Weekly

“A smart, consistently entertaining work of popular art.”—Time

“One of the best examples of its art form--the monthly comic book…. Fascinating.”—Chicago Tribune

Social commentary a la science fiction

I enjoyed reading this novel, only to be surprised by the intertwining stories of romance and the very implausible
Social commentary from the key characters. Otherwise a great novel with interesting plot !

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

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 10, 2011

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!

Watch out for the monkeys.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 29, 2016

Verified Purchase

With Volume 4, Y: the Last Man begins to move towards the endgame. Several issues of this volume are given over to character backstories, and sets up the Big Bad villains for the final act.

So, the thing to like about this volume is how tightly written it's plot is. Things happen in these 12 issues, they happen very quickly, and they change the game for the entire world. The character backstories are also quite good, ratcheting up the development in what was already one of the best 'character' comics I've ever read.

The downside? Quite a few dumb plot points are used to keep the story going. Characters seem to be incompetent because the plot demands it. Fortunately, I don't think this should carry over to the last volume. Here's hoping this series ends on a high note.

Get ready for the last one!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 10, 2010

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.

Can't wait to finish this series. Its one of the best graphic novels I've ever read. Funny, smart, totally original, great characters, great everything. I don't want it to end, highly recommend.

If you think comic books can't tell a concise story, then this is a must read.
If you are into SHTF stories from alternate perspectives, then this is a must read.
If you wanna see an adventure about a boy & his monkey, then this is a must read.

Great Concept and Well Executed Story

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 19, 2018

Verified Purchase

This was a book recommendation by a friend with excellent taste. Loved the concept of this World of no men and what the women would do and how would society move forward. The travels and adventures with Dr. Mann, Yorick and Agent 555 were amazing and the character development made for a wonderful read.

Great graphic storytelling

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on October 10, 2015

Verified Purchase

I bought the first paperback volume of this series with fairly low expectations and largely because I found it cheap. I was pleasantly surprised to find engaging characters, an intriguing plot treated in some unexpected ways, and good artwork. So I invested in another couple of volumes. Had I known how well the series was going to develop, I would have bought it all in these deluxe hardback editions.
As the series progresses, it gets better and better. It's a simple basic premise, the death of all male creatures bar two, a young man and his pet monkey, that could have been handled in some very obvious, and very crass, ways. To the creators' credit, it never is. It's handled with tact, wit, intelligence, and an admirable lack of the usual comic-book sexism. The twists and turns of the plot are full of genuine surprises, usually character-driven. The little group that accumulates around the last man all have fascinating back-stories that are explored with dexterity and woven into the central narrative. The result is that it's not just the underlying mystery as to who or what caused the death of all the other males that keeps the reader coming back for more, it's genuine engagement with these people and all their human foibles, frailties, humour, hopes, fears, foolishness, regrets, courage, pain, love, and dreams.
The artwork also grows on the reader as the series progresses. To begin with, it seems perfectly adequate, though perhaps not particularly outstanding. The more you read, however, the more you realise just what a vital part the deceptively simple, clean, clear style plays in carrying the story along.
Like all good comic books, it's the combination of writing and graphics that makes the whole work so well. And work it does. For me, this series joins such keynote works as Watchmen and Sandman as one of the few genuinely outstanding 'proper' novels in the medium, demonstrating what a great medium for storytelling the graphic medium can be in the right hands. Wonderful stuff!

I won't go in to much detail but this comic series is great. Books 1-3 are amazing. Book 4 is good but sadly 5 lets it down a little. Get them all as they still please!

Awesome series, couldn't wait to get the new paperback and continue with the story. I knew the hardbacks were already out, but since I have the whole series in paperback it was well worth the wait.

If you didn't like the others

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on July 23, 2016

The fourth book in series is exactly what you would expect. If you didn't like the others, then why are you here? You need to have read all the other books in order.
The plots are broadened and glimpses of how everything started/will end is slowly released.
The series i believe ends with the next book.
