Y: The Last Man #47: The Tin Man
Once again a book that is truly run on characterization alone. Nothing new is really added to the mix as far as stuff we know, or knew about Dr. Mann. There are some minor revelations as to how she got to where she was when we first met her, but not too much. The stuff with her Father and her affairs were kind of cool. At least it explains why she is so reluctant to meet her family these days. It's a well written book. The cover sucks, I didn't know that was Allison Man on it. However the stuff on the inside is worth the price of admission.
