On behalf of the entire Y: THE LAST MAN team, thanks so much to everyone who made this evening possible, and more importantly, thanks to the many of you who came out to support the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund. Now if you'll excuse me, there's some gorgeous original Y art that I really need to bid on."
