[[note: this review covers the entire series of ten volumes]]Imagine a world in which every creature possessing a Y chromosome has just died. In a single moment, the world's animal population has been reduced by roughly half. This is a world where most of the world's politicians, most of the world's scientists, most of the world's military, most of the world's pilots, most of the world's film-makers, and most of the world's businessmen are no longer with us. This is a world of chaos andThis is just the saddest fucking thing. I can't even . . . it gets sadder every fucking time I read it. Yorick the 17th: So this is it, huh?Yorick the 1st: What's that?Yorick the 17th: You know, growing old. All I have to look forward to is pain and misery . . . and heartbreak.Yorick the 1st: No. No, first comes boyhood. You get to play with soldiers and spacemen, cowboys and ninjas, pirates and robots. But before you know it, all that comes to an end. And then, Remo Williams, is when the
this is the most beautiful epilogue to a comic series i have ever readits elegant and mind-blowing and satisfying i was very sad to see 355 die since all the signs said that she and Yorick will be together in the endi was heartbroken with yorick to know that beth the first was going to break up with him before the plague i was very excited to see the old yorick in his straight jacket and was wondering all the time why the hell hasn't he escaped from it long ago but as the saying goes better late
I am very impressed.When I started reading this series, I was blown away by the first few volumes and couldn't wait to buy the next one to see not only where the story and characters were going, but also to experience the depth of writing.After a few volumes, though, I felt that the plot and characterization both lagged a bit. While the plot slowed, the characterization didn't really pick up. Some of the middle volumes felt slow and lost. These last two really picked up the pace, the

Okay, so that ending was all kinds of awesome. And horror. And awesome again.We get our happy ending, have it turn into the opposite, and then we get it happy again, and then we are subjected to a truly great punchline. You know, as in the answer to a great joke about men and women. :) No spoilers, but Yorick the great escape artist really does it in the end. :)So we get love, hope, tragedy, more tragedy, humor, a little more tragedy, and a super bitter-sweet end.I can't imagine a better wrap
*Spoilers Ahead!*If I think on it too long I can't help but feel just a little let down by the ending of this series. But, that said, doesn't mean that I'm altogether unhappy with the ending or that I think it should have been done differently. All mysteries are not fully revealed. I have to think that perhaps that was intentional. We don't always get all the answers in life, right? Society and periods in history (some more than others) are messy and complicated and convoluted and full of holes
