It completely goes off the rails near the end. Yorick is not likeable to me either. It was hard to root for him as the protagonist of the story. I guess I'm one of the few who don't think it's quite the mind blowing comic series. It's solid, but not far beyond that for me.
@TheFizz: What do you think makes Yorick unlikable?
It's been a while, but the way Vaughan wrote him as this perpetual manchild who was so self involved and yet completely oblivious to his station; Just made me hate the character. Not to say the supporting cast was handled with perfection, but I didn't loathe anyone in that entire series they way I did with Yorick.
I absolutely could not stand him. That's my two cents.
Not interested. Yorick Brown was one of the most unlikeable protagonists I have ever come across in literature. Not to mention how insanely wonky, and subsequently broken, the main plot becomes toward its conclusion.
When is Tony Stark not making new Iron Man suits? That's practically all he does! Rhodey's got the new one now on the down low. Mark CLXIV! How is this a new direction? For one of the smartest men in the world, he sure does like learning the same mistake over and over.
Props to Fraction and Larocca though. They have done great work on this title for a long time.
He died in the most noble way a character of his makeup could possibly muster. Remender is going to bring this story thread with Evan and X-Force, full circle, to his first arc and what Fantomex did to that kid Apocalypse.
I know one thing for certain, you don't doubt Rick Remender. I can't wait to see what he has up his sleeve.
