Y: The Last Man – Paper Dolls

Y: The Last Man Vol. 7 Yorick finally makes it to Australia! While Dr. Mann and 355 agree to let Yorick take a look for his long lost girlfriend Beth, they encounter more trouble than expected. This volume seemed more like a something Vaughn used to tie up loose ends. It felt as if almost nothing…

Y: The Last Man – Girl on Girl

Y: The Last Man Vol. 6 So, a lot happens in this volume. Unfortunately, it’s the first collection that probably deserved a little less than 4 stars.
