Hey there!
Anybody read the last TPB of Y:The Last Man (Kimono Dragons) ?
Now can anybody explain to me what the picture that Alter Tse'elon holds in the last pannel means ? It got me kinda confused. And it seems so pivotal to the entire story...
Thanks !

That being said we can use this as an opportunity for some Y:TLM appreciation. I hear it's a great series that will be ending fairly soon. Ive yet to pick up any of the trades but im sure I will some day.
SWITCH !
Yeah, it it indeed a great serie. Everything about it is really well thought out and extremely well done. I, for one, can't get enough of it and feel sad that it is, after all, a finite universe in which this story is told.

I was thinking that, even after the males return, the existence of two prior generations of women more or less guarantees that females will hold the dominant role in society henceforth. This will be the result of women not only outnumbering men, but also the influence women will have on men as they guide the development of every single new man and the role the new men will have to take as studs whose usefulness will be gauged primarily by their ability to breed. In short, men may find themselves in the same position early women (and to some extent, modern women) were relegated to for thousands of years.
I think this raises an interesting possibility. Could it be, perhaps, that the reason men had the dominant role prior to the plague is because of a prior plague that greatly reduced the number of women, thusly guaranteeing that a large number of men were able to seize control of society for themselves and guide the growth of subsequent generations of women through sheer numbers? So maybe this plague is an attempt to correct the result of the first plague, or maybe the plagues are a cycle designed to keep balance between the two sexes.
Or maybe the plague was the first of its kind, but still a response to male dominance on the part of the world or scientists or whatever to see if the world would be better with women in charge (and of course it is an experiment, on the part of BKV at least, to explore what a female dominated world would look like in the form of a comic book).
Anally.
If you're talking about my post, I didn't say how the plague happened so you don't have to worry about reading it in there.

pretty sure there was an official version from Vertigo but this is probably easier to find.
As a side note, I just finished the eighth trade of Y. I'm almost caught up in time for it to end!
While I understand the need for ads, I do find that they're a bit much. I could swear some of the singles I own have as many ad pages as comic pages.
Also, I find hughtron's comment perplexing.
I bought the first five trades of Y to catch up, and since then I've been buying it monthly, so I've got some experience with reading the book in both formats.
I just mean that I can buy a single issue of Y and it's a fun little read. There is a 'satisfying chunk of story' in one issue. Most of the issues end with a nice little cliff-hanger so I can look forward to next month, and there's the occaisional single-story issue that are nice. It reads well as a single, compared to say, Astonishing X-Men, which is so slowly paced in singles that hardly anything seems to happen.
...It's hard for me to speak to that, since Astonishing is one of the comics I insist on buying singles of, whereas I've only read trades of Y. (And since there's only, what, six issues left, it seems kind of silly to start buying singles of it now.)
Plus, it's not like an X-Men title by a high-profile writer is likely to get cancelled, especially when it's a limited series anyhow.
Astonishing isn't a limited series.
Yes and everytime i see some, i'm still pissed. I understand advertisement in say, radio, or community television where the basic service is free of charge to the consumer, but in a 6$ 32page comic to have 12 entire pages of ad is just ridiculous. That and going to the movies and having a car publicity before the trailers pisses me off. The ticket already costs me like 10 $ !! Enough with product placement !
On a side note, can anyone answer my initial question about Y ? I tried asking twice in the "Ask wippy anything" thread but they seem to be cought in a causality loop concerting some dying mutants and how their lives seem meaningless now that their world is now populated with less than 200 fictional characters.
And of course, being the center of a war is what Alter wants to save Yorick from.
Right, my mistake. It's just that Whedon and Cassaday will be leaving it after this arc.
I remember thinking the same thing when I saw that panel. It confused the hell out of me for a while because I thought I missed something big. But now I am pretty sure it doesn't have any huge significance. Although it's been a little while since I picked up an issue of Y, but didn't it turn out that
Also, here's hoping that the explanation for the plague was a fake because it seemed pretty stupid and didn't account for a lot of things.
