Just as stellar and unpredictable and hilarious as the last one. Vaughan and team achieve what others do not—a cohesive, detailed panorama of possibilities in a dystopia.

This volume effectively builds on and deepens the complexity of a world without men that was so well established in the first. The characters are complex and genuine.

I enjoyed this one even more than the last one! There are still some issues of backwards transphobic comments and some other problematic dialogue. Aside from that, this series has quickly become one of my favorites!
Yourick continues to develop into a more complex character. It was painful watching him go through 711's suicide intervention. The scenes with him and PJ were adorable and his relationship with 355 continues to interest me. Their partnership has clearly grown into a friendship and it's awesome to see.
Admittedly, the playwright storyline waned a bit for me at times but it was interesting to see how other female characters have coped since the plague.
The real standout for this book was Dr. Mann's and 355's relationship. I have wanted them to get together since the first book and this just made me want that even more! I was really drawn to Dr. Mann's confession that she just wanted 355 to like her, her bravery and trust in 355's judgement. I love the way they've come into their own way of communicating and 355 is as protective over her as she is Yourick. Sure, her pretending/pretending to pretend (?) she has feelings for Yourick was interesting but a relationship between her and Dr. Mann would be awesome.
I have no doubt the next book will be just as great as the last 2.

very good graphic novel. Excited to start the next one. Much better than the Hulu show forsure

Another good run from Y, although I felt some of the plot left a bit to be desired - I might change to 3 stars after sitting in it a bit longer. The plots continues through, explaining a bit more but still labouring over some points. I did like some of the comics a lot more than other, Patricia enjoying Y’s time in the hands with a certain agent 711. I do feel like the comic is sexualising women the more it goes on which I hope tones down as it’s starting to feel less pragmatic than the first series, rather just going for the age old adage of lots of sexy characters to bring in the traditional nerd audience.

Probably more a 3.8. still really enjoyable but a few times the characters are just unbelievably stupid. Dr Mann also has been grating on me as a character for a while, but all in all I'm enjoying the darker side of the story as well as the flashes of brilliant comedy.
