A Fitting Ending For a Glorious Series

This final chapter in Y completes a beautifully involved story that not only humanizes Yorick but other unlikely characters (Ampersand even). The writing is simply top notch and Vaughan is simply one of the best writers out there in any genre, period. Satisfying everyone would be admittedly impossible but I feel that he has told the story as realistically as possible without pandering to the reader. This is a must read for any fan of good fiction.

end of a marvelous series

Whenever you get to the final part of a long-running series, you tend to review the series as a whole versus the last book in particular.

Fortunately in this case the last chapter matches the quality of the series.

"Whys and Wherefores" does what many conclusions fail to do satifactorily - reveals the true reasons behind the events portrayed throughout the storyline, casting light into the shadows that have obscured the origin of the virus. It also concludes the core stories for the main characters while revealing a decidely less cynical view of the future than one might have expected based on the not-so-happy ending for some of those people.

Without giving away the plot to new readers, I will just say that the resolution of Yorick's quest for reunion with Beth and the struggle for Agent 355 for openness/vulnerability are both handled in unexpected but dramatically satisfying ways.

One of the best overall stories in comics in the last decade, and the ending fits very well. Highly recommended.

Brian K. Vaughan is a master of the Craft!!!!

OH MY GOD!!! What a terrific ending to one of the best stories ever told. I am so sad to see Y the last man come to an end. I have never felt so close and protective of fictional characters. This is hands down my favorite story of all time.
Anyway what to say about the end. Its simply: Perfect.
I cant say much without giving too much away. Things happen that will anger you, sadden you, and make you laugh.
I was almost in tears so many times reading the last 2 issues. It is soooooo sad. But in the end when it all soaks in you'll except that it was the best possible ending we could ask for.
You will not be disappointed!!!
