Y: The Last Man # 4 - Unmanned Chapter Four

I feel with this book the series is finally taking off. That's not to say the series has been bad. One look at the scores tells that isn't the case. It's just that with 355 and Yorrick on the road, we get to see how the "plague" effected the rest of the world. Let me go off on a tangent though. Okay, I can not see any reason to have the only man in the world risking his life on a quest, when there are any number of bunkers and hide outs they could have placed him in. There is no reason to endanger humanity to go see a doctor who could have easily been brought back and given any number of labs to work with. That is probably the weakest part of Brian K. Vaughns story. Of course it negates the entire series, so lets move on shall we? Getting past the glaring flaw in the cloth, what we do have is an exciting story, that shows the rider at least thought of things halfway through. In this issue we meet the radical " Amazons " who want to destroy all evidence of man being on earth. This sets up some dramatic tension and action, but the best part of the story comes from a quiet scene between a disguised Yorrick and a woman who has realised "The Rolling Stones are dead" . A very good entry to the series.
