This Is How The World Should End (With A Bang)
As I recently noted, the door to the post-apocalyptic world of Y: The Last Man is due to be closed and locked soon. As I've said before, the scheduled ending of a good series is always a little bittersweet (just look at how beautifully Vertigo wrapped up Lucifer and you'll see what I mean), but this time the ending is occurring with a bang. You see, MySpace, in a rare moment of doing something that doesn't make my skin crawl, is hosting a party to celebrate the comic's end, and Joss Whedon is due to make an appearance, as well. Not only that, but all proceeds from the party will be donated to the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund.
February's event celebrates the final issue of Brian K. Vaughan and Pia Guerra's post-male-apocalyptic fantasy Y: The Last Man, due to appear in stores at the end of this month. It takes place in popular LA comic store Meltdown, and Whedon - a collaborator on the Buffy Season 8 comic - will give a "keynote address," cementing his position as the Steve Jobs of geekdom.
The first 70 tickets have already sold out, but another 70 are going to go on sale the day of the party for $25 each. The party itself will take place on February 8 at Meltdown in Los Angeles. More information can be found here.
