Y The Last Man #4: "Unmanned, Part 4 of 5"
Comments: Again this is a great social commentary on women and how various women would act, with the disappearance of all men on Earth. Some honor the dead men by turning "male" monumental structures to shrine to honor them, and others become insane that vandalize and want to wipe out any memory of the patriarchy.
We find out more about Yorick's family background. He's affable, but showcased why he's a single man, acting stupid and thinking he's invincible, thus getting himself in physical trouble with four women of the dangerous and insane, Daughters of the Amazon. We find out a single information about Agent 355. that she no longer has any family, and is alone in the world.
We find out there are a lot of members for this dangerous group, and that their leader is Victoria. And the shocking end is amazing. Yorick's sister has burned one of her boobs and joined them, and will lead a search party to find Yorick in Boston. Business is about to pick up in future issues.
Synopsis with Complete Spoilers: We join the story with Yorick getting beaten up by several Daughters of the Amazon.
The story then flashes back to an hour before the beginning of the story. Motorcycles are hard to come by, and vehicles can't be used in Washington D.C. because of all the crashed vehicles preventing driving out of there. Yorick and Agent 355 are walking down the streets of Washington D.C. We learn a lot about them from their conversation. Agent 355's family all died a while ago, and no longer has any family. We learn more information about Yorick. His sister Hero is an EMS and is also in Boston, where they're headed to find Dr. Mann. Their father is a literature professor and named his children after obscure Shakespeare characters. He then hears some sort of singing far away. Agent 355 told him it must be coming from the shrine, where the women turned the Washington Monument into a memorial for all men. Yorick wanted to go there and see for himself, which Agent 355 shot down as being too dangerous. Ampersand jumped to Agent 355. which distracted Agent 355 just enough time for Yorick to disappear from her sight.
Later on, at the Washington Monument's grounds, which were populated by thousands of women in mourning, a gas mas wearing disguised Yorick walked among them, when he saw another one sitting down wearing the same garb as him. He was surprised and went up to the person to ask with the intent of asking if the person was another man. The person took the gas mask off revealing another woman. Yorick sat next to her, citing he is there to say goodbye to men she hasn't said goodbye to yet. The lady was there to say goodbye to Mick Jagger. They have a good conversation about rock stars, when she suddenly turned around with a frightened look on her face as she darted a look on the motorcycle riding Daughters of the Amazon. The woman shared told Yorick that they are not lesbian, but insane, and they burned off one of their boobs, because that's what the ancient Amazons did in order to shoot an arrow. Girls will do any retarded thing to get into a gang, as long as it means receiving food and protection. And the Amazons go to the Washington Memorial and vandalize it, which they have been doing to every other symbol of the patriarchy. Yorick, made his way to the Daughters of the Amazon, with the lady thinking he's nuts.
The women in the grounds near the Washington Monument cleared out of fear. Yorick reached the four Daughters of the Amazon, and dissing them, while they told him to get lost. And angry Yorick took of his gas mask revealing to them his is a man. They still wouldn't believe he's a man thinking he is a woman cross-dresser instead. He finally convinced them he's a man, and asked them then why is he still alive and there. The Daughers of the Amazon set to rectify the situation.
And we are back in the present, where a bloodied and beaten up Yorick is about to be slashed by one of the knife-wielding Daughters of the Amazon approaching him. Yorick got up with a can of spray paint in hand and sprayed the woman in the face, temporarily blinding her, and threw the can at the other's face, while punching a third and knocking her out. But the numbers overwhelm him. As he's being held and one of them is about to slit his throat, Agent 355 arrived asking them to let him go. The knife-wielding one turned to her, but was knocked out by Agent 355 with a single punch. She told the other two holding Yorick to run, and they did so. We then find out that Agent 355 has been there a while and was just watching him get beat up to teach him a lesson. Just because he's got a dick doesn't mean that he's invincible. She yelled at him to start acting his age. Then Yorick sarcastically pointed at the two abandoned motorcycles by the Daughers of the Amazong saying it's a long ride to Beantown.
Several hours later in a Daughters of the Amazon rally at the Baltimore Convention Center, the woman whose face got spray painted earlier made her way to the leader, Victoria, telling her she encountered a woman. She told her that she overheard him saying something about Boston. Victoria then turned to her minions asking if anyone is familiar. One responded, a new member, and Victoria asked her name. The woman stepped up and responded her name was Hero.

Comparing it with THE WALKING DEAD ...it`s much better than it so far ..*hint/i've finished just 7 issues of TWD .

Yorick has a run in with the Amazons. This issue was good but it showcases that Yorick doesn't fully think through things but the end result works out in his favor.

Interesting exploration of gender dynamics in an era where almost all men are extinct. Great twist at the end.
