    A proper finish. somewhat

     I really wanted to like this issue more. I mean I did like it, do not get me wrong on this one. It is just that what the issue is is a bit of a mess.

It creates a great story line and one of my favorite series of all time.

      Such an amazing serie deserved a proper finale, and Brian K. Vaughan closes the Y chapter with brio ! It is probably not what we expect, but that's not important when we come to enjoying the results even more. The more page you turn, the more nostalgia, since you know you will never see Yorick and his supporting characters again. Bravo to Mr Vaughan !...
