Just absolutely beautiful, what a way to end the series I'm gutted this is the last one! What a fantastic series!

I never thought a comic book could break my heart and make me cry, but this one did it.

This was an interesting end to a complex series. Truthfully, I'm still deciding exactly what I think now that it's over. Book 5 does improve on some of the issues I had with 4. And many of the strengths of the series play out well here. I continue to have some issues with Vaughan's work but there's no denying that his stories are engaging and imaginative.
As far as the grand explanation and wrap-up, it's hard to say. The tie-back to other points in the series was interesting, and I can appreciate the ambiguity and twists that Vaughan allowed to exist in the finale. In retrospect, I'm not sure if I would have wanted the ending to be anything different, and the last scenes with Yorick felt satisfying to me. But the ending felt kind of strange at the same time.
So I'll leave it with this: Vaughan is a fascinating and talented storyteller and he's willing to make some choices in his writing that are risky but ultimately memorable. Y: The Last Man has been an imperfect ride, but it's one I don't regret undertaking.

Ползвезды снимаю за так себе содержимое mystery box. Но когда оно бывало полностью удовлетворительным? Да и нужно ли оно.
Зато в эмоциональном плане последняя часть вполне удалась.

The ending is quite satisfying despite the more farfetched elements, an exciting story overall.

The ending of this series was unexpected and sets a high bar on how to end a very entertaining series. For all 5 deluxe editions, I'd rank the series a 4.
Just wish we would have learned one name though.

I loved this series. Fascinating concept to begin with. Interesting character dynamics. Love Agent 355. Hated the end.

The ending felt a little... bland. BUT! 355?! CRUSHED ME! CRUSHED ME SO HARD! Glad everything else kinda worked out though... :(
