Panelology is a weekly podcast about comics. We talk about current books, what we're looking forward to, and how to get into reading comics in the first place.

Y: The Last Man: Kimono Dragons (DC Comics, 2002; #43-48)

  • Yorick and friends are in Japan, searching for his missing simian companion.
  • You know what that means: sex robots, the yakuza, and Canadian pop stars!
  • While Yorick and 355 are having all the fun, Dr. Mann reunites with her mother and starts to get answers about what’s going on.
  • In addition to will-they-won’t-they relationship drama and betrayals, Vaughan weaves an important lesson into this arc: everybody hates ninjas.
  • Guerra, Sudžuka, Marzán, and Zylonol’s art is as focused and expressive as always.

  • Y: The Last Man, Vol. 8: Kimono Dragons (#43-48)
