This zip never looks right no matter how hi-res I set the scanner, but here's an Iron Man I drew over the summer...
And I guess you could say I savored 2 very fulfilling endings this week with Bush on his way out and the final volume of "Y : The Last Man" finding its way into my hands. Talk about covering every base and still leaving some pleasant ambiguity... I followed Yorick (along with 355, Dr. Mann, and others) for 5 years and would have found the source of the "Male Plague" to be satisfying enough, but Vaughan really went for broke on every arc's end. This book had something for everyone and it kept giving until the very end. A simple science fiction premise took readers through a "road movie" of a comic that blended espionage, gender studies, romance, comedy, and the surreal into a riveting epic of global consequence. As far as long-running (6 Volumes or more) Vertigo titles, this finale just beats out Gaiman's "Sandman" but falls well short of Alan Moore's "Swamp Thing". But c'mon, comics like this wouldn't even exist if it weren't for Moore so I think that's a rather nice compliment...
