Lots of blah blah blah in this one. ( )

Any story needs to be held up to the yardstick of its wrap-up, and this is no slouch.

I'm not used to seeing comics throw all their focus and love on a single idea after so much time has been spent on what appears to be, you know, THE LAST MAN.

But here's a little secret. It's not really about him at all. It never was. And even after so much panel time, he's really nothing more than a red herring.

Do I need to spell it out?

Well, yeah! It's about women. Hello!! And this volume is doing a very fine job of it. All complicated and messed up as it is, how cheeky and sad and gritty and girly, it's just as crazy as the whole subject we've been sloshing through for this entire comic.

And it just feels right. One more to go! Let's see if the *ahem* hero gets his girl. :) ( )

Yikes. The last two volumes have been pretty rough. Not tying up the loose ends very expertly… ( )

n this penultimate volume, we get quite a few questions answered. It's inventive, but the explanation is somewhat (to me - just my opinion) disappointing. I don't want to go into it and leave any spoilers, but I really can't fault the writers; with so many great story arcs, something had to give. However, as I think about it, maybe the answer is fitting - it's not the answer that's important, it's the way you get there and what you do next. ( )

Got some answers, I'm ready to see how this series ends. It may have overstayed it's welcome. Still entertaining most of the time. ( )
