That's coming from a chick so hardcore she cut off one of her own titties! The premise of this one is pretty catchy. For some unknown reason, every single male on earth just suddenly drops dead. Doesn't matter. It happens. I can't even imagine the devastation, personally. Every husband, father, brother, boyfriend? Think of all the dead children! And every man is some woman's son, so Anyway, chaos rightly ensues Later, boys. Anyway, chaos rightly ensues. This guy, Yorick, and his male monkey somehow survive. So this is sorta his story as the Last ish Man on earth. The gist is that he's got to navigate this new dangerous world while on a quest to be reunited Y: The Last Man: Book 1 his girlfriend in Australia. And along the way, he's going to meet all sorts of women. Some good, some bad, most somewhere Y: The Last Man: Book 1 the middle. Good luck, dude! This was a pretty cool story. I'm not sure I was into it enough to seek out the rest of the story, but I did think it was interesting while I was reading it. This one is pretty much universally well-liked, so if you think this sounds like something you would dig, check it out. View all 48 comments.

I have a lot to say about this. I have basically two feelings, two minds and two reviews. The short, part of me was very entertained by this and part of me kept screaming this is stupid. I actually wrote a story on this subject obviously not published a few years back with something just like this premise. I didn't know this existed. There is a lot of questions about what is going on in the story and there are many answers to be had so I don't understand what I have a lot to say about this. There is a lot of questions about what is going on in the story and there are many answers to be had so I don't understand what is really happening. The story is very well written, well scripted and the artwork is nice. It is doing it's job well. Here's the thing. Women hold life as sacred. They are not going to try and wipe out the species. They would not be trying to kill the last man. Women usually rule in groups in a matriarchy. They aren't as power hungry though that is there. There would be general bitchy-ness, but the roving groups of man hating women bent on killing off humanity. That is absurd. Y: The Last Man: Book 1 the story is extremely entertaining yet stupid. Women would not be bent on self-destruction. The man hating in the Y: The Last Man: Book 1 is ridiculous. Especially since all the men are gone but one or so. There is no reason for that anger any Y: The Last Man: Book 1. Women would come together and help each other out. There would be little reason to compete with each other. They would be in danger of killing the man trying to get his attention and fall in love with him. That is more like it. This telling is silly and I don't think Brian is writing women well in this story. Too much physical conflict. Women's conflict is more passive aggressive and emotionally abusive. I know there would be women who were mentally crazy and they could cause harm and danger, but women would come together and bond I believe. So, this novel is able to bring all this out and cause me to think, so it's doing it's job. I think it is very entertaining and I gave it a high score even while thinking the author has it all wrong and this is all wrong. I still got my money's worth, so I am excited to read more and see why the women want the last man dead and end the human race. I doubt he will be able to sell it to men, but it will be entertaining in the process. ​Y: The Last Man Book One on Apple Books Goodreads helps you keep track of books you want to read.

  • Understanding Visual Metaphors: What Graphic Novels Can Teach Lawyers About Visual Storytelling
    UNDERSTANDING VISUAL METAPHORS: WHAT GRAPHIC NOVELS CAN TEACH LAWYERS ABOUT VISUAL STORYTELLING Lenora Ledwon ABSTRACT Effective legal storytelling requires facility with images. While law schools traditionally place great pedagogical emphasis on the power of the word, the power of the image gets short shrift. Yet, cognitive scientists have long recognized the persuasive force of images. This Article focuses on one specific type of image: the visual metaphor. A visual metaphor, like its verbal counterpart, represents one thing in terms of something else, but uses images instead of words. Graphic novels provide an excellent introduction to visual metaphors because their format depends on strong visual thematic continuity. This Article uses Brian K. Vaughan and Pia Guerra’s multivolume graphic novel, “Y: The Last Man,” to illustrate how visual metaphors operate. By exploring visual metaphors in graphic novels, lawyers can improve their visual literacy and learn to recognize and create visual metaphors. TABLE OF CONTENTS I.

ABSTRACT FATAL ATTRACTIONS: AMERICAN COMIC BOOKS AND THE AIDS CRISIS June 2015 Sean A. Guynes, B.A., Western Washington University M.A., University of Massachusetts Boston Advisor: Aaron Lecklider, Ph.D. Second Reader: Rachel Rubin, Ph.D. Between 1988 and 1994 American comic books engaged the politics, problematics, and crises of the AIDS epidemic by inserting the virus and its social, cultural, and epidemiological effects on gay men into the four-color fantasies of the superhero genre. As the comic-book industry was undergoing major internal changes that allowed for more mature, adult storylines, creators challenged the Comics Code Authority’s 1954 sanction against the representation of homosexuality to create, for the first time, openly gay characters. Creators’ efforts were driven by a desire to recognize the reality of gay men’s lived experiences, especially crucial in the epidemic time of the AIDS crisis.
