How good is this!? Cracking pace, humour and a proper good quest story.

Missed the first..umm..four or something.

Hex: yeah, I'm enjoying this at the moment. (And I have ALL of them, lucky me)
I believe that a tpb is due soon, collecting the first story arc- so don't fret.

Thats grand news ukdane, I was hoping for one soon. It is becoming harder and harder to get on time in forbidden planet - they're pretty much all gone after three or four days, which is pretty fast.

A Y trade paperback is out already - not sure it's the entire first story arc, just a rush release of the first half-dozen issues - are they replacing it with a longer volume?

It's called Y: The Last Man ? Unmanned, if that's any help. And yeah, Y's very good, perhaps the best new Vertigo thing from last year (although Fables gives it a run for its money).

Incidentally, there are tons of preview pics of Jock and Andy's work in THE LOSERS in the new issue of Previews...

Just to confirm, (from the Vertigo X Preview)...
...Unmanned (1-5) is already available, and Cycles (6-10) will be available later in the year.

But they also rush released a comic format reprint of the first two issues.

Loving Fables, going to give this a try when I next have spare cash.

According to Amazon's website, Cycles is due for publication in September (although these dates are never 100% reliable).
