Y: The Last Man, Vol. 8: Kimono Dragons (2006 original; edició 2006)

Fun discovery volume showing us China and Japan in this little hard-hitting dystopia of women, adding a very appropriate male android analog for all those sexed up women, Canadian pop-star Yakuzas, katana fights, and loving reunions.

No, Yurick hasn't found Beth, but Everyone's got something to hide, especially him and his monkey. :)

Still solid. Fascinating. I'm very glad to be reading this. Worth it on many levels. :) ( )

Awesome characters but this particular volume seemed to have too much going on at one time. ( )

This was more of the same. Great dialog, cliff hangers, but at this point it's getting a little long and I just want to know the rest of the secrets. ( )

In Japan tracking down his stolen pet monkey, in whose body lurks the solution to how all the other males died, Yorick the last man's adventures are more those of his guardians, adversaries, and ostensible savior than his own. Yorick's traveling companion, medical researcher Alison Mann, takes her turn as subject of the hefty flashbacks typical of Y: The Last Man, and the focus shifts at volume's end to the Israeli commando who has been on Yorick's case since Cycles (2003), volume 2 of Vaughan's dandy serial.

****SPOILERS if you haven't read the previous volume****
Yorrick's monkey, Ampersand, has been kidnapped and taken to Japan, so Yorrick, Agent 355, Allison and Rose go there to find him.
****END SPOILERS****

It was ok. The issue in the series didn't appeal to me as much as the others, but one interesting thing is that we learn more about Allison's background. ( )
