Just read the first trade of Y: The Last Man. Yeah, I know. A little late coming around to this title. This actually came recomended from a friend. Guess the tables have turned. For the first two years of publication I was pushing Transmetropolitan on everyone who would listen. But that's another story.
YtLM is an awesome book. I wish I would have been up on this from the get go. But as with Fables I think YtLM works better in complete story arcs (trades). Monthly probably would have held my attention. But I think I would have eventually grown agitated with only 22 pages per month. The first YtLM trade covers the first 5 issues. Let me tell you so much happens in the span for 5 issues that it is well worth the $12.95 cover price. If you haven't tried YtLM give the first trade a whirl. You will not be disappointed. This is a shining example of what comics can be. Now if only more people could see it through all the capes and spandex.
