I can not deny that I have become, almost overnight, a Y The Last Man fanboy.

If Y The Last Man has any fault it is that there is too much action. Lots of crosses and double crosses and people sneaking up behind other people with swords. But this is obviously all secondary to the world – the believable world – that is created in the aftermath of a gendercide. Y The Last Man and Battlestar Galactica are certainly the two best works I’ve come across that were created as a direct response to the World Trade Center destruction. Much like life, both of these works are complex and, to put an old wonky term back out there, nuanced. Highly recommended.
