[edit] Story arcs

So we have all these story arcs... why? Can this go to a seperate page, or be consolidated? Thoughts? I know BS22 loves describing each page. Dyslexic agnostic 03:55, 9 December 2005 (UTC)

  • WHAT?! This from the guy who created Ultimate Fantastic Four (story arcs)? P.S. Go tell Ron at Leading Comics that you're the Brown Shoes22 Frank (that's me) mentioned. Dyslexic agnostic 07:41, 9 December 2005 (UTC)
    • Of thair is going to be a new article for the Story arcs clean up the section and add more detell Story Summaries like a paragraph or two. Of not Keep on one article --Brown Shoes22 19:00, 10 December 2005 (UTC)

I don't know about previous comic articles, but I vote we keep the story-arcs where they are. It's a limited series with a finite story. They should stay with the article. Cybertooth85 05:28, 7 April 2006 (UTC)

  • Keep them in the article. --Awiseman 00:40, 27 May 2006 (UTC)

The previous comics articles were about ongoing series--Brown Shoes22 15:07, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Is Y a limited series?

I've suggested that the current definition of a limited series be changed so as to include series like Y: The Last Man where the writer anounced that the series would have a limited run after it had begun. I'd appreciate if you could share your thoughts on this subject at Talk:List of limited series#Y, Ex Machina and the current definition of limited series

Thanks,

it has been reffered to as an Finite Series as oposed to infinte~ - —Preceding unsigned comment added by Weaponbb7 (talk • contribs) 16:42, 15 February 2007

Sooner or later every series is finite. Duggy 1138 (talk) 07:28, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit]  ? Doctor M ?

That hasn't actually been confirmed yet has it. You could also note that SPOILER issue 45 Allisons mother mentioned "that evil bitch of a bioengineer Dr Ming" - —Preceding unsigned comment added by 220.233.85.90 (talk • contribs) 18:29, 3 July 2006

[edit] Why bother with an arc seperate page?

Honestly, I see no reason to cut the page into two, with a page for Y: The Last Man and another for the story arcs. It just seems TOO organized to the point where information gets buried within layers of crap. I say have a page for Y: The Last Man and just leave it at that. If you're gonna make a page of spoilers, or if the arcs go into hardcore detail (as they currently don't) then by all means split the two, otherwise, leave it alone. Also, side note, why is there no SPOILER WARNING listed anywhere on the page? - —Preceding unsigned comment added by ExMachina (talk • contribs) 15 March 2006

[edit] can we remove the tag so?

[edit] trivia section

I'd like to mention a clever allusion the writer's make to an earlier s.f. story on the same theme, but I don't know quite where it would fit. Should I just start a "trivia" heading? --Zaklog 17:57, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

Only add it if you can find a reliable source that the author's intention was to add the allusion. Otherwise it's nothing more than original research. ~QuasiAbstract (talk/contrib) 18:34, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Quick Question

Is it just me, or did the cover art for "Motherland" change? I could have sworn it was not the two women on the cover, but instead was a really interesting picture of Ampersand reaching out to our protagonist and someone else, forming a "Y" Is this correct? And why is "Motherland" not mentioned on the main page? - —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.181.247.131 (talk • contribs) 03:51, 9 May 2007

Your either thinking girl on girl or Kimono Dragons or it might be a collectors variant like the walking dead where it first has a couple of zombies and one of the zombies in a color and another with a red holographic-foiled face on it-Change is coming and potter should have died I might be Trolled and I just don't care 05:26, 8 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] summary

The summaries don't make much sense to someone who hasn't read the comic. They read like "teasers", telling you that "the secret will be revealed", and stuff. That's not very encyclopedic. Just tell us what's going on, in straightforward prose. Don't worry about spoilers, It's an encyclopedia, and MUST contain spoilers.--24.86.252.26 05:14, 20 August 2007 (UTC)


I already added how 355 dies if it makes you happy--Change is coming and potter should have died I might be Trolled and I just don't care 05:23, 8 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Y: The Last Man Vol. 9: Motherland

Can someone confirm one of these sources:

dccomics.com : "This volume ... collects issues #49-53!"

comicbookdb.com : "Reprints/Collects: Y: The Last Man (2002) #49 ... #54" —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.189.6.80 (talk) 21:46, 5 October 2007 (UTC)

It's until issue #54. I just reread Motherland to bring myself up to speed with the storyline. LordNAg (talk) 04:51, 3 April 2008 (UTC)


[edit] Date needed!

This article needs to include, in the first paragraph, the date (at least the year) of first publication of the first issue. Softlavender (talk) 06:12, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Kaguya - a little help please

I am not experienced editting fiction related articles so I was wondering if there was some appropriate way to add a sidebar item to the page? The premise that extinction of all males would wipe out the species was fairly successfully challenged by this experiment[1][2] in 2004 which succeeded in creating Kaguya, a new mouse (not a clone) from two female mouse eggs. The relevance to this article is that the storyline is effectively based on a false premise ... if only women were left you could be certain that every science lab in the world would be working to perfect this reproductive technique as well as look for others. -- Low Sea (talk) 08:18, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
