Vertigo

Ambidextrous: This is Why - Dissecting Y: THE LAST MAN
By Brandon Thomas

The first trade collection of this series contains one of the boldest cover quotes that anyone has probably ever seen---"This is why God created comic books."

But while most comics couldn't even begin to live up to that level of praise, Y: THE LAST MAN quickly proved to be a work that shouldn't fall into the category of "most comics." Another in a long line of classic Vertigo series, this series stands as the signature work of writer Brian K. Vaughan, and the moment where everyone jumped on the bandwagon. I'd been here for quite a while already, following him over from his SWAMP THING run, but it really don't matter exactly how you got here, only that you did. This is a series that every comics' fan should have on their bookshelves, and I'll be devoting two whole columns to talk about exactly why.
