This entire series is amazing, but if I have to pick my favorite volume, it's volume 3, One Small Step. If you've already read the first two volumes, no doubt you'll want to continue the series. I think this was the most exciting of the stories, and it really kept me turning the pages just as quickly as I could. Best series of the decade, hands down.

The third trade paperback of the Y: The Last Man run of comics, this instalment sees Yorick and co interrupted on their journey by Israeli forces and descending astronauts. The story is strong and self-contained in this edition; there's a nice little two-parter with theatrical themes that appears at the end of the major arc (about returning spacemen) which serves to lighten the mood a little - something necessary, I think, given the general seriousness of the work.

Not just this specific graphic novel, but the entire series is the best comic series I have ever read. The writing is fantastic Vaughn captures the drastic nature of how bad the world has gotten in this post- apocalyptic world he has created, however has the added humor from Yorick and his one-liners. I bought the first TPB to read during a road trip I took a weeks ago and found it to be so great that I ordered the rest of the series from Amazon to be at my home when I got back and read the rest of them within two days. It is that good and anyone who has enjoyed comics like Watchmen, Sandman, Sin City, and any other mature readers comic should read all of these.
