Y THE LAST MAN: SAFEWORD (Brian K. Vaughan, Pia Guerra, Goran Parlov, Jose Marzan Jr) - April 13/12

This installment admittedly got off to a rather weak start, as I couldn't help but feeling that Vaughan and company were spinning their wheels for much of its midsection. But the story really picked up towards the end as a couple of characters were almost executed and Hero made her dramatic re-entrance into the story. I have a feeling the next few issues are going to be somewhat disappointing, however, as I'm not even at the halfway mark and I just don't see how Vaughan can sustain this premise for dozens of forthcoming issues. *** out of ****
