A MAN not for all seasons. July 6, 2008
1 out of 6 found this review helpful
An excellent graphic novel with colorful and memorable characters including an exasperatingly hero who really never becomes the hero we all expect him to become no matter how many of him we meet. Can't wait to see how the big screen depicts him and his world.

The Last Man finally comes to an end. This issue contains the coolest moments and one of the best endings I've read in a long time. It kind of fast forwards a little bit and there's a few unexpected twists, but it all works up in a way that makes sense and doesn't let you down. You can tell in both the writing and artistry that a lot of thought and work went into this final issue.

Absolutely BRILLIANT series. A joy to read. This series was a much needed breath of fresh air. Many thanks to the writer/artist.

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.
Anitclimatic July 31, 2008
1 out of 3 found this review helpful
I was rather disappointed in this last volume and felt that it was rather anticlimactic. I had to go back and re-read volumes 8 and 9, because I came to realize that the climax has already occurred in those volumes, and volume 10 just wraps up the story. Over-all, however, the series was excellent and is highly recommended. I hope the upcoming movie project does it justice.
