Y: The Last Man... Hero [NOW WITH UP-TO-DATE SPOILERS] (Brian K Vaughan)

GUYS HE ESCAPED
HE'S AN ESCAPE ARTIST
THE EIGHTY SEVEN YEAR OLD GUY JUST POOF! OUT THE WINDOW AND GONE
THE END

fuck you

Well, that's delightful. I still like it. I haven't re-read it or anything, but it was one of my favourites while it was coming out, and I do miss its absence. And the last issue - dead monkey! Oh so sad.

Yeah, this is odd in that I've never really felt any urge to fill in the gaps and finish it: even Cerebus is compelling, though when he's explaining the Torah to Woody Allen it's not the same sort of compelling it's meant to be, maybe -- I think my indifference never recovered from the bondage therapy arc, though I did like one random issue someone showed me where Yorick is reading a comic about XX THE LAST WOMAN or something ...

Apparently the film rights revert back to Vaughn at the end of February.

I tried tried, but I bailed out somewhere in the middle of book 3 last night.

Don't feel bad, the ending is terrible.

As far as having the source material complete to follow (or deviate from), that's cool.

First reaction though was not having enough energy/interest to commit to multiple seasons of Yorick wandering and meeting the various post-apocalyptic groups. The Walking Dead broke something in my brain that I associate with this series - maybe following them at the same time, somewhat similar structures, maybe the disappointing ends of 355 and Glen.

Still waiting on resolution to the last Saga trade, too. Guessing/hoping that was a fake-out. :\

well it's here now.

Is it... any good? I liked the comic, not sure I'm motivated to watch this over 2,000 other things. If they made a Saga TV show, on the other hand...

And Paper Girls by the Halt & Catch Fire team, obviously

will watch soon

Enjoyed it. They’ve expanded the world it’s set in interestingly enough.

Yeah, first two episodes aren’t bad. They made the good choice - and I hope they maintain it - of decentralizing yorick from the narrative and turning him into more of a doofy macguffin..
