Book Reviews of Y: The Last Man Vol. 8: Kimono Dragons
Book Review: one of the greatest stories in comics
Summary: 5 Stars
I was turned on to Y The Last Man at work when I saw someone with the comic. I asked him what it was about and he told me. Being a fan of post-apocolyptica, I asked if it was any good. He looked straight into my eyes and said, "I don't read crap, man." If you looked at the guy, a stereotypical comic book/gaming nerd, you could tell he knew his stuff.
I went home and bought all the available graphic novels, 6 at the time. I have no regrets. I have since lent these novels to about a dozen people and they all loved it.
This comic perfectly blends action, comedy, sci-fi, romance, and drama together to create a world where women rule.
