A very silly version of Y: The Last Man. Fun, smart, thoughtful, and very funny. More a series of one- and two-pagers, but there's a kind of overarching story too. The art is clean and the pacing is great. The characters are interesting without being ...more

“...We claim the present as the pre-sent, as the hereafter. We are unraveling our navels so that we may ingest the sun.
We are not afraid of the darkness, we trust that the moon shall guide us.
We are determining the future at this very moment. We now know that the heart is the philosophers' stone. Our music is our alchemy. We stand as the manifested equivalent of 3 buckets of water and a hand full of minerals, thus realizing that those very buckets turned upside down supply the percussion factor of forever...”
