BONUS REVIEW by RICK BERG
Ok after not reading Y for 40 or so issues and having countless discussions on why I am wrong and need to read it, I did. Pia Guerra’s art still bores me. Its not that the art is poorly drawn or terrible by any means, it is just bland. She is the equivalent of old Jim Aparo Batman to me. Every character has the same face and body type just with different clothes and hair added on the model. I find it hard to believe that every woman in a world without men weighs 140 lbs. and all had the same nose job. Speaking of jobs, Y reads like just a paycheck to Brian K. Vaughn. Unlike his Ex Machina or Ultimate X-Men or even the Hood I still find the characters and storyline lacking. They seem as uninvolved in the plot as I do. It feels like they are all just reading a script instead of acting it out. Maybe I missed all their emotions behind their female facelifts but if my mom just stabbed my friend with a sword I would be a lot more pissed off than just one panel. Our battle would at least last a page or two. Boring and you guys can have it to yourselves.
BONUS REVIEW by DAL BUSH
Of all the action-adventure series from Vertigo starring a snarky, escape artist sole-survivor accompanied by a lesbian geneticist (and her one-eyed pirate girlfriend), a gun-toting secret agent who cries AND a monkey, this is probably the best. Definitely in the top three. A quality series that you should really start reading at the beginning, not with this issue, the second part of the 8th story arc. This one gets 9 Grahams (for longtime readers), 3 Grahams (for naive new readers; shame on you for not reading this!)
