Y: The Last Man, Book 10: Whys and Wherefores

Y's final volume doesn't end the story in a way that I expected or could really be totally happy with, but it did it in its own way, fitting with how the whole comic has gone, and well enough to make being disappointed hard. It really just doesn't compromise for the sake of typical story expectations. It ends a lot less violently and action packed than I would have thought, and in some ways the resolution of all the characters makes a lot of the story seem like a waste of time, at least initially. One result of everything that goes down in particular was just weird and unsettling. But it works. After the five issue final arc, there's a longer epilogue in the future that does a solid job of tying up all the loose ends, even if you're not a fan of how they get tied, although I'm not a fan when epilogues try to shove information about characters into dialogue instead of just showing what happened. I guess it saves time, but it's rarely natural. Either way, Y doesn't do it too poorly and the last few pages are a pretty perfect way to finally finish one of the best stories I've seen in this form.
