Bringing a much-needed feminist perspective to a story about a man surrounded on all sides by women, Jeff Bridges poet Donora Rihn joins Paul and Arlo for their year-long Four-Color Flashback exploration of Brian K. Vaughan and Pia Guerra's acclaimed Vertigo comic book series Y: The Last Man. This time, the gang discusses Vol. 2: Cycles, which collects issues #6-10 of the original series. Donora asks Paul and Arlo how they perceive the book as men, and if they think it shows Yorick growing into his role as the last man on Earth; in turn, Paul and Arlo ask Donora if she finds Vaughan's narrative voice to be overwhelmingly male and if it fairly represents its many female characters. In between, Arlo can't stop recommending things to comics newbie Donora, there is yet more praise of Guerra's clean and beautiful artwork, and there are select readings from Valeria Solanas' SCUM Manifesto. Plus, Donora has a new name and the gang remembers the late great Bill Paxton. Next: after a week off for another of Arlo's poop cruises, the boys sharpen their claws to discuss the final Wolverine film, Logan.
