Y: The Last Man
by Brian K. Vaughan and Pia Guerra
read: 2015
Eisner Award
I finally finished reading Y: The Last Man after a break of several years. Vaughan created a post-apocalyptic world where all man save one have been killed by an unknown plague. Like much of the best science fiction, this new world serves a commentary on our world, in issues such as the role of women in the military and government, and the benefits and perils of cloning. Ultimately, the tale Vaughan tells is Yorick's; like in The Handmaid's Tale, the story is a reminder that an individual's fate matters even amidst tremendous general upheaval.
