Y: The Last Man: Ring of Truth

Brian K. Vaughan


Purchase this title at B&N

Y: The Last Man just keeps getting better as it goes. Vaughan takes his characters to new levels of psychological depth with every collection. (For those who haven not yet gotten far in the series, be warned that here be spoilers.)

Yorick, the doc, and 355 have finally made it to San Francisco, where Yorick is undergoing a battery of tests to figure out why he's immune to the plague. Needless to say, there are still loads of people chasing the intrepid trio (and Ampersand), some of whom we know, others we've had only vague recollections of. Vaughan finally gets us back to Beth, Yorick's kind-of-fiancee, and finally starts us on the road to figuring out why Yorick is immune. (Don't worry, you will have more questions when you finish this one than you did when you started it; there's still a lot more of this series to go.)

Vaughan has created something fierce. You want to read this.
