Hi! Please don't forget to label your posts with the date the reading is due and your name and last name. So, for example, for the first blog post I would label my post with these two tags "09/11/2014" and "Ali Bolcakan" [without the quotes of course].

The Last Man

I've always loved comics as a child, but this comic completely blew me away. I was always at the edge of my seat because so many things were happening at once. I never could even fathom of the extinction of one gender, but this comic allowed for me to experience that. It was interesting to see how women responded to this catastrophe. Some sought to preserve the old traditions while others took on a more radical approach and wanted to destroy everything associated with masculinity. The Amazonian group were really interesting to me because I could never imagine that such a radical group would rise up in an apocalyptic scenario without men. It was also interesting how each member would burn off one of their breasts to show their solidarity and resolution to the group. I also look forward to continuing reading this series and see how the dynamic between Hero and Yorick will play out. I  hope that we get to read more comics from Vertigo in the future.
