Y: The Last Man, Vol. 9: Motherland
The latest adventures of Yorick Brown, last man on earth, consist of one standoff after another. Yorick stands off girlfriend Beth--in his dreams. Then Yorick's sister, Hero, and the only baby boy on earth stand off a gang of amazon archers. Then Yorick's guard, agent 355, stands off the mysterious ninja who has been hot on Yorick's heels all along. Then geneticist Alison Mann, Yorick's personal researcher, stands off her father over Yorick. (Her father? Yorick's not theonlylast man?) In the end, Yorick's off to Paris and, he hopes, Beth. A terrific, tangential flashback story rounds out the volume.Ray OlsonCopyright © American Library Association. All rights reserved
