Blount way, way OTM. Sometimes I feel like Y is sort of on probation because it seems sort of constantly at risk of making the wrong choice. It hasn't yet, so maybe that's not fair, but you know.
Most hermaphrodites would be dead, the ones with Y chromosomes, but the real question is did it kill the papayas?

Not that there were any shocking new revelations re: monkey poo or lezzing up, but it was just a really good issue with lots of stuff happening. And some lezzing up.

Just finished vol 10. Unexpectedly heart-wrenching, and the epilogue was kind of beautiful. I like how the world sixty years after the plague was quite hazily sketched, and how Vaughan didn't give a hundred percent definitive answer to the cause of the plague, thus retaining some of the intrigue that made the series so enjoyable. Top marks, I think I'll start again from the beginning some time soon.

I got volume I for xmas, then ordered 2-10 all in a batch and just finished the entire mess. Which is what it is. You have all the set-up for a nice extended rendition of a Children of Men scenario and then they proceed to drop the ball repeatedly. Easily one of the most disappointing final acts (and possibly even more disappointing epilogues) in any long-form comic I've read to the end, with the obvious Dave Sim exception (and Vaughan doesn't have the clearly-lost-his-mind excuse, does he?)

I'm trying to think of any really significant moral choices or anything else that stands out in the entire storyline and I keep coming up blank
― TOMBOT, Wednesday, 14 January 2009 04:47 (fifteen years ago) link
It is balls, but Vaughan does a good job keeping them in the air and revolving, so a page turner. Soap opera mechanics + sub-Morisson "occult" detailing that never quite pans out into anything interesting + teen crush angst = comics junk food. Disappointing, esp. with ludicrous plot developments and way too many characters who make no damn sense.

It was mostly a reminder why I don't really read color comics anymore. Page turner, absolutely, but so are most bestselling novels that have no other redeeming value whatsoever. Plus, nothing in any of it actually looks cool, the art seemed throwaway to me.
― El Tomboto, Thursday, 15 January 2009 00:05 (fifteen years ago) link
not that i'm reading many comics now anyway, but i wouldn't judge everything by Y. it fell off in a pretty huge way imo.
― Tracy Michael Jordan Catalano (Jordan), Thursday, 15 January 2009 00:07 (fifteen years ago) link
I think Y stayed consistent as an entertaining and intelligent (if not massively deep) SF-adventure story. The art was never beautiful, no, but always more than adequate to tell the story, which is sometimes all that's required.

I thought it was a mercifully shorter and engaging Preacher without quite so much dick waving.
