technicat@bookwyrm.social reviewed Y: The Last Man: Book Two by Brian K. Vaughan (Y: The Last Man, #2)
still going strong, a bit more varied and serious
5 stars
Compared to the issues collected in Book One, the dialogue here is bit less jokey and forced (but I do appreciate the "What's your nationality?" sequence in the first set as I get that all the time). After twenty years, the political jabs still ring true (writing tip - leave out names and the current crop of politicians will fit in nicely), but my favorite line is the reference to KISS. As listed on the cover, more pencillers contributed (read the inside credits for all the contributors, inkers never get the glory), so there are a few sudden changes in art style, corresponding to markedly lighter and heavier tones. This series is longer than I remembered, so there are still a few more books to reread, but now I'm remembering why I read it straight through the first time.
