Actually a ⭐⭐.5/5
Sure, this will probably end up being another in a long line of emotionally crippling misadventures..but let's try to have some fun along the way
This is the only graphic novel I read this month and I want to preface this by saying that I’m very new to the graphic novel game so that may play a part in my thoughts. I’m conflicted about this one because I found the story and overall plot to be very interesting and engaging. However, I wasn’t a fan of how a lot of the women were portrayed in this one. We have a tribe of women called the Amazons who are essentially out there to create chaos and brainwash people to join their cause. They think that anyone who thinks that the world needs men again are wrong and should be killed. The way this group was handed really rubbed me the wrong way. I also feel like pretty much all of the women in this novel either want to kill the main character, Yorick, or they want to sleep with him. I get it, he’s the last man on earth but can some of these women please just want to be friends with him?!
