I don't really enjoy the main character, but the 'what if' scenario is rather great, with interesting side plots.

Very solid start. I'm looking forward to seeing how the rest of the series progresses. The art is amazing, with strong attention to detail.

Interesting concept, just wish the protagonist wasn't a fool. There was also some questionable character motivations that felt like they were only there to propel the story.

Bullet Review:
Pros: good look at how male-dominated our leadership and other key jobs are, that effing ending
Cons: straw feminism everywhere, the fact that one male still dominates a woman's story
I love Vaughan, but I doubt I continue. The love-hate relationship!! ACK!!

I've been meaning to read this for years. I even rented it from the library no less than six times before finally buying it for myself as a Christmas gift this year, which finally got me to buckle down and read it.
And it was fantastic! It was utterly thrilling, the art was crisp and all the characters distinct, attractive, and interesting to look at, and the writing was sharp, the comedy hitting often and the drama hitting hard.
This was a delightful start to a thrilling and interesting premise and I'll be very excited to begin the next book!

Wow! This was refreshing.
I love comics as a medium, and have been trying out the superhero genre for the last two months, but damnnnn I missed a standalone story. I haven't read a vertigo series since Preacher and this one lived up to the hype in my book. I didn't want to put it down and have already gotten my hands on copies of 2-5.
The premise is catchy and a bit simplistic, but this creative team did it write. I like the structure and pacing as well as the twists.
Didn't expect the villains to basically be a TERF cult but damnnn that's cool. Some of this is a big too much of an angry lesbian stereotype but I like it. Rah rah girl power and all that. I like the realism of the government and infrastructure being in shambles because women have been kept away from those positions of power.
Yorick is a bit immature but not too much. He's likable enough and I think he's making some pretty understandabl choices. Hero being brainwashed is interesting and I hope he doesn't have to kill her in the end, but that'd be cool. The monkey is like a prop but a fun one. 355 is the best and I hope she and Dr Mann hook up.
Also interested in the mystery of why all the men died. Currently hoping that storyline is resolved well because I genuinely don't know what's next in this series or anything about how it ends and I look forward to this ride. I'm also probably gonna read the other stuff by this writer now.
This is just a really good first volume.

This story is fascinating and I'm invested! I'm a Saga fan and Brian K. Vaughan doesn't hold back with the violence here either, aha. I like Yorick. He's a bit of a dumbass at times, but *shrug* that's part of his charm! I admit I'm not hugely invested in the characters yet, but I mean this is the beginning of it all. But I need all the answers to the why (Y? punny?) of it all; so I'm looking forward to the rest.
