Anyone read the original graphic novel? I heard it wasn’t so bad but the time we live in is the worst time to adapt it. I heard the same about Handmaids Tale book.
Handmaid's Tale isn't a bad read. The prose is well written and the character, while being "feminist", is interesting, genuine, and provides a deep, believable point of view. My biggest complaint with the book is that most of the story is told in narrative summary or hectic flashbacks. Not much happens in real time.
As for Y: The Last Man. The protagonist is the typical weak, bumbling idiot, you see in most modern media, but the female characters are all deeply flawed and the world turns into a hellish dystopia when all the men die. Don't take my word for it though, I read the series years ago and when I wasn't as red pilled as I am now.
I read it years ago. It isn't terrible, but it isn't all that great either as a story. The ending in particular is rushed and non-sensical and you'll find a ton if typical liberal BS.
High level, turns out the virus was created by the planet itself due to over-population / pollution. All creatures with y-chromosomes die except for the protag and his pet monkey, but some mammals spontaneously start having babies anyway. Main character winds up never having kids b/c his love interest gets sniped out of nowhere in the last issue and he's just so sad for the rest of his life. That's ok, we cloned the couple of astronauts who were in space (so they survived the virus) along with a few women and have a thriving utopia now. The end.

Ok. Thanks. I think I’ll pass.
I didn't care for it. I found it a feminist wet dream.
