Questions I Didn't Think Would Be Addressed Until The Final Issue Are Finally Answered... Top Notch Reading
|
Ever since the first issue of the [[ASIN:1401202322 Safeword]] arc, "Y: The Last Man" has been a non-stop ride of awesome issue after awesome issue after awesome issue. Fans will be especially pleased with this book, the fifth collection of the series, as it is by far the longest one yet. It collects eight issue, and is composed of the two-issue "Tongues of Flame" arc, the one-shot "Hero's Journey," and the five-issue arc, "Ring of Truth," which this trade paperback is named for.
Until this point, Brian K. Vaughan has been building the story quite nicely, leaving us asking question after question, but always satisfying us with each twist of the plot. But things start to change here. New developments are made, yes, but as Yorick, 355, and Dr. Mann finally reach the destination they've been aiming for since the first volume, answered to those burning questions are heaped upon us like food on a Thanksgiving Day plate.
+ What was up with that Toyota lady from [[ASIN:1401202012 One Small Step]]?
+ Who were those cloaked women who assassinated Agent 711 in [[ASIN:1401202322 Safeword]]?
+ Why did Yorick's mother work with the Russians in [[ASIN:1401202012 One Small Step]]?
+ What made Hero so bad? (Hero actually gets her own one-shot in this issue, which is composed entirely of flash-backs. I was apprehensive when I saw it coming up, because I found the "side story" at the end of [[ASIN:1401202012 One Small Step]] to be frustrating. But my weariness for another tale that deviated from the main story line of Y were blown away by "Hero's Journey." It's one of the best comics I've read and gives us invaluable insight into one of the series's most interesting characters.)
+ Also, most importantly, we finally hear Dr. Mann's theory on why Yorick survived the plague.
With humor, drama, and some of the best action you'll find in comics, wrier Brian K. Vaughan and penciller Pia Guerra (who illustrates all eight issues this time around) continue to blow me away with Yorick's epic story. I'm sure fans and critics alike will agree that this, as the cover boasts, is "top-notch."
