Why Read It?

Y: The Last Man is widely considered to be one the best graphic novel series of all time. Though the original print run is from 2002-2008, Brian Vaughan seamlessly blends a compelling action/adventure story alongside astute social commentary that is still relevant today. While written with an adult audience in mind, older teens can enjoy this classic graphic novel series as well.

The sole human male survivor has his own ultimate goal that's persistent throughout the narrative, but what makes Y: The Last Man so memorable is not the protagonist's realization of his goal, but rather the journey itself along the way. The interesting and meaningful characters, the ever-relevant social commentary and denunciation of sexism, and Brian Vaughan's masterful story-telling (especially the story's bittersweet conclusion) all combine to make Y: The Last Man one of the best graphic novel series of all time.
