My monthly shipment from Mile High Comics arrived in the mail yesterday and inside said package was the final issue of Y The Last Man by Brian K. Vaughan and Pia Guerra.  Now having read it, I have to say that I was satisfied with the ending.  Various threads from the story were tied up and final farewells were said to key characters.  Said issue  contained a few more deaths, but they were offstage and that was fine with me.  Personally, I do not think that there was any way the book could have hit me harder than when 355 died.  Reading the issue where she was shot and killed almost made me cry.  It was that emotional of a moment and I truly felt for Yorick.

For years the story of the last man on Earth and his adventures around the world was one of the first titles that I read each month.  I will miss his humor and pop culture references.  I will miss his interaction with women from around the globe, some of who hate him, some of who fear him and a few who love him.  The book could not have been better written and drawn.  Brian and Pia gave so much of themselves in the book and I thank them for their efforts.
