Y: The Last Man, Vol. 1: Unmanned by Brian K. Vaughan
3.0

I just finished this book this morning after starting it last night. So far, it's definitely interesting and keeps the page turning. At the same time, I'm unsure what the author is trying to convey with the fact that all the men on Earth have died at the same time, and only women survive. Oh, and that one guy, Yorick. It's at times funny, but kind of in a cheesy way, and I'm waiting to see what will become of the characters, and the world.

The beginning was nicely done, but when the surviving women are gathered into Democrats versus Republican groups, and when the "Amazons" seem to represent crazy lesbian feminists - well, it all seems built upon some eye-rolling stereotypes.

We'll see how the series continues...
