SET DETAILS
Owner's Description
First appearance of the Amazons and Victoria, their leader.
In the previous issue, Brian had left us with an Alter cliffhanger… and then proceeds to never mention those two pages in all of issue 4. Typical.
Issue 4 starts off with something that we see often in YTLM: Yorick getting his ass kicked. This time, the Amazons, who were referenced in issue 2, are punishing Yorick.
How’d that happen? Well, as we saw in issue 2, Yorick is pretty good at escaping and getting himself into trouble. In this case, 355 is escorting Yorick to Boston, but Yorick wants to stop by the Washington Monument, which has been turned into an impromptu monument, to pay tribute to all of the fallen men. 355 tells him no, but of course Yorick distracts her (using Amp… a trick we see again in issue 60) and goes anyway. While there, he confronts some Amazons, a group of women celebrating the death of all of the men on earth. He reveals that he’s a man and they, unsurprisingly, try to kill him. Luckily, 355 is basically a ninja and saves him.
In typical Yorick fashion, he basically announces that they’re headed to Boston. This info gets to the leader of the Amazons, who predictably decides that Yorick must die and seeks volunteers who know Boston well. Who volunteers? Why, Yorick’s sister Hero, who we haven’t seen since issue 1.
Collecting Notes:
This was among the easiest issues in the series to find in grade. This copy was one that I dug up on my own.
