This was a weird one but I still enjoyed it. I get the impression I’m missing part of the
story and there’s definitely more to come but nothing indicated that this
wasn’t a complete tale.
The Last is the last of his kind. They came to Earth like Gods with a plan that
you just get glimpses of. They cleaned
up the environment, healed disease, feed the starving and housed the
homeless. They wanted the nations to
give up their military defenses so the world replied by killing them off. The Last hadn’t joined his siblings in
society so when aliens come to attack the Earth, he is their only hope.
However, that’s just the tip of the iceberg in this
story. It’s so multi-layered that I’m
left feeling like I haven’t gotten any answers.
It’s well drawn and not for children. It’s violent and sexual and quite
disturbing. I did enjoy it but it’s
bittersweet. I’m puzzled and wondering
if there’s more volumes coming.
Thankfully there’s www.thelastofthegreats.com
which gave me the answer – this is volume one.
That’s all I learned from their site.
It’s got potential but it’s falling short.
