- Start date

That and the fact that it's explicitly every mammal with a Y chromosome, not just humans, that dies
judging from the trailer there seems to be a heavier emphasis on Yorick's mom than what the comics did? or has it been that long since i've read them. i honestly don't remember much from that story line
A lot of the casting looks spot on. Man, I still remember like a decade ago when Shia LaBeouf was rumored to play Yorick.
Y: The Last Man is one of my favorite graphic novels. It's been forever since I read it, but I'm glad to finally see this adaptation. I do remember Yorick being pretty funny.
I honestly dont remember much about this comic besides a character getting headshotted, the ending and what Yorrick's sister ends up doing with this girl or whatever so I'll be happy to watch it. It's practically a fresh story to me. Whatever the case I hope the TV show is a lot different than the comic so both can stand on their own
Preacher was my favourite comic and it was insanely butchered, it was so bad I dropped it and regret any time spent on watching that shit.
Y is my second favourite comic. I hope this will be good. :3 The trailer looks promising, but can obviously be misleading. Agent 355 looks really badass, at least. <3

It's been a while too, but things did go nuts for a while, there were even roaming gangs etc.
Saga seems way too difficult to adapt live action, maybe animated.
Damn its been years since I thought of them, was The Sword the last thing they did?
Difficult for TV, but if they went for a feature length format it wouldn't be much more difficult than Star Wars outside of needing to be a hard 18 / R rating.
The last thing together, seems they working on their own individual stuff now
You fucked up cause Y the last man is incredible.
I'm cautiously optimistic for this. I also think they should have started the trailer out with statistics about how much of the world is devastated when everything with a Y chromosome dies. That sets the stage more than watching a bunch of people bleeding out of their noses.
Also, I Didn't realize Diane Lane was in this show. She's dope.

Was it my imagination or there was a leak or something saying that Ampersand wasn't going to be a monkey in this adaptation, but another species of animal?
Anyhow, glad to see that everything looks very faithful. Although the comic has plenty of areas that can be updated and expanded for the better.

maybe after amazon is done with invincible in 10 years
so we can have another game of thrones season 8?
no thanks
A movie budget would be beneficial, but an expansive story like that would benefit from TV.
It's ridiculous that they have to say Graphic Novel to give these things weight.
It was a sixty issue comic. It fits on ten regular collections or five omnibuses. There's no singular "Novel"
Edit: Actually there is a 1000+ page complete edition, but why not call it a series or add a plural? I'm sure DC is gonna sell a lot more regular collections off of the show than the giant tome.

Fables too. They're great comics, but a live adaptation seems risky with a big chance of being flops IMO. Some comics are just not good candidates for live action. Maybe they're just too "out there" and maybe it would take a ridiculously high budget to even start to do them justice.
There's probably going to be some creative alterations like there always is. I wouldn't expect an exact adaptation.
There were scenes and even seasons of The Walking Dead where I thought it was a crappy adaptation. It was fine in the comic but it did not work on screen.

The comic eviscerates the last man alive sexual fantasy quite thoroughly
truly not even a little bit
oh shit, that's right. HBO better be working on that animated show ASAP!!
Fables is like mega long isn't it? That would be quite the commitment. I remember reading lot of it and I wasn't even close to finishing.
No you're right, she's barely in the comic. Has a couple of scenes early on but that's it. The show might be changing up things a bit. That or all of her scenes will come early in the season.
What aspects are those? I read this along time ago but i cant recall what u mean?
Looks pretty good. I assume this is on Disney+ here in Europe, but they're blocking the trailer here and no official news has been released...so fingers crossed.
Why does everyone think HBO has anything to do with Fables
They're doing a continuation of it next year too!

Yeah that's true, and I definitely agree in a perfect world it would be a high production value TV series.
Saying this though, we have had Carnival Row from Amazon and Mandalorian from Disney, so the budget and effects necessary to pull it off have been put into streaming shows already. It's mostly just a case of ensuring that it doesn't go to Netflix since they'll 100% cheap the fuck out on it. I could see Amazon attempting it as a prestige piece down the line, especially if Paper Girls is successful considering that's almost as difficult to pull off in live action.
All I can think of is there are a few instances of characters calling another a "faggot" or "gay". I'm fairly confident that these insults won't make it into the TV show in 2021.
Hard to tell from the trailer, with the POTUS focus and lack of lighter elements. The show should be carried by the core of Yorick, 355 and Allison
Also I dunno if Amber's taking the right approach to selling the show lol
Stuff like The Walking Dead and The Last of Us (generally) don't deal as much with the why or the solution to a global crisis, along with the character work this IP has a very definitive answer/end to the mysteries, rather than just a perpetual survival dystopia.

The hook is that everything with a Y chromosome died and it's about discovering why it happened and how to stop it. It also predates TLoU by a good decade.

every organism on earth with a y chromosome has died mysteriously and the last human man with a y chromosome wants to meet up with his girlfriend.
also he has a pet monkey named ampersand who also has a y chromosome and also survived.
