This is the point in the series where I started wondering 'gee, can we come up with a few /more/ ways that women running the earth will suck horribly? Let's maybe throw some slave drivers and cannibals in there to complete the picture.' Don't get me wrong - I /like/ that Vaughan does not picture everything as peaceful, rosey, or easy in an all-female world anymore than it would be in an all-male world. But with this volume, the sense of balance started to look really extreme. Fortunately, he pulls back from this a bit in later issues, but I really wish that the world he created could have been more nuanced. This volume especially just felt easy and surface-level. ( )

With Y: The Last Man, the fun just never ends! Volume 6 brings us wannabe pirates, heroin traffickers, Australian submariners, lesbian romance, plentiful phallic references, and more plot twists than you can shake a stick at. Better yet, there are some fleeting panels of imitation "pulp comic art" towards the end of the book that are beautiful to behold. This series may have had a rough start in the early installments, but the pace and the quality have accelerated considerably by volume 6. This fan is heading directly for volume 7... ( )

Book 6 of the series doesn't really advance the plot all that much. It's still great writing and art, but this collection only spans 4 comics. The biggest news in this collection is that readers are finally given more detail on what is happening with Yorick's girlfriend in Australia. ( )

This volume more an interruption of the story than a continuation, but it at least ends with a tantalising glimpse of Beth. ( )

The continuing adventures of Yorick and company. As the relationships develop, the plot gets more complicated. I still want to find out how this plague started though. ( )
