Figured I'd post this for the fellow Y fans. I put this together about a year ago, and have been updating it ever since. Not essential, but it does make a bit more sense of certain overlapping storylines. Enjoy!

I'm thinking that either your brain starts to dribble out of your ears halfway through vol. 2, or you reach true enlightenment and become famous as a minor religious icon.

Here's hoping for option #2, but totally in a Messianic Timothy Leary sense.

Cool, good work. You should post that over at the BKV board too :)

Yeah, I might do that...maybe with the Ultimate timeline.

I'll be updating on Wednesday, as Y #50 is released.

theres actually one at the end of "Anarchy for the Masses"

Been really curious about picking this series myself, but I´m a bit terrified by the setup, the whole man-hating vibe I keep getting.

If all women died, I´m sure some men would manage to go on living but life would lose 99,(9)% of its point (and flavour).

The internet chatter I get from Y seems to ihint that if all men died, most women would go about just fine.

Not really. The series goes into great depth about how society would change if half the population inexplicably dropped dead; some women are able to pick up the pieces, but very many are not. While it could be considered a feminist book and makes several relevant points about the gender imbalance in our world, I wouldn't call it a "man-hating" book at all. It definitely does not support the idea that war, prejudice, and other forms of evil would disappear in a world without men.

Thanks for shedding some light on the subhect, I may actually pick the TPB, the premise attracts me quite a bit (yes, I´m a sucker for apolcalyptic scenarios like these).

I just don´t wanna be bombarded every two pannels with subtext messages of how women are better off without men (I like to believe women like/need men as much as men like/need women :) )..

[Fenix]

Go read it. I mean it, one of the best books around.

It's actually not like that at all. I actually don't think it ever has that as subtext - there are certainly characters who believe it, but overall it's more about seeing how various communities and people deal with the situation. Some react well, and others don't.

I'd definitely encourage you to give it a try. It's a fantastic book.

[Eliseu Gouveia]

Well, I´ve got my Y-The Last Man TPB (Unmanned) and I have to say I am hooked in the story, really good stuff in here, oh yes!

I especially like the amount of work the writer has put into his research ( unfortunatelly you don´t get a lot of that nowadays. :( ), you can really see that he did some study on the social and practical implications of such a catastrophe.

It´s the little details that hooked me, things that wouldn´t even cross my mind, like the supermodel moaning about the amount of cash she wasted in a boob job or the washington obelisk chosen for its phalic symbology. :D

The only thing that upset me a huge lot ( and take this with a grain of salt since it´s coming from a zombie movie/survival horro videogames fanatic) is that the writer jumps several months after the mass deaths.

Aside from the cop at the beginning, you don´t get the immediate reaction, right after the casualties.
For example, at any given moment there are hundreds on planes in the air, mostly piloted by men that must have crashed.
Reallistically, La Guardia or LAX should be a charred crater.

I wanted to follow those events, the immediate aftermath and skipping 2 months really bugged me.

But altogether, I am loving it, the little twists, like Hero´s new career choice.

I have to confess I can´t help but feel the urge to pound Yorick for his obsession with his girfriend when he can probably have hundreds of women.

But then what do I know about matters of the heart... :p

EDIT: OMG! They even got the name right,´São Paulo, Brazil instead of the usual Sao Paolo, Brazil! :D
