Y THE LAST MAN: WHYS AND WHEREFORES (Brian K. Vaughan, Pia Guerra, Jose Marzan Jr) - October 20/12

The Y the Last Man saga comes to a close with this almost satisfactory installment that was just a little too grim and depressing for my liking. Yorick doesn't end up with either Beth or 355, but rather with the one-night stand he produced a kid with? And they apparently stayed together purely for the sake of the kid? And Yorick winds up old and crazy? And he euthanizes Amp? I mean, geez. The series leading up to this point was fast-paced and comparatively lighthearted, so it's very odd that this is how Vaughan has chosen to end the tale. Still, it answered all my questions and I basically read it in one sitting, so... *** out of ****
