| | | Y the Last Man | | |

Brian K. Vaughan, who writes Y the Last Man, for DC's Vertigo imprint, is definitely one of the best storytellers in the comic medium. Each issue has its own arc of action that is enthralling while still moving forward the overall arc of the larger story. It's a skill that a lot of serial writers seem to be lacking.

Additionally, the artwork on the cover of this month's issue #23, by Massimo Carnevale is absolutely wonderful. One can practically hear the howling of Yorick's companion, Ampersand. The makeshift grave markers are macabre and the insertion of the branch in the shape of a Y is clever though almost bordering on over the top. But I guess that's sort of what comics are all about, isn't it?
