Movie Trailers - Movies Blog "[I read 'Y: The Last Man'] and 'Ex Machina,' so I'm a big fan of Brian K. Vaughan," Garcia told MTV News. "When he got hired I was pretty excited! It was really cool to meet him. [We met] two years ago when we did this Emmy panel and then he came to a party afterward. It was pretty sweet." Vaughan chose to leave the show after the end of its fifth season... "When I heard that he had left the show, I was sorry to see him go," said the actor. "I think he works well with those types of stories, the way he fleshed out the whole 'Y: The Last Man' series was great. There's always this 'Twilight Zone' aspect that shows like 'Lost' have, and I know he writes into that strength, so it would have been cool [if he had stayed]." With the sixth and final season debuting tonight, many fans(including myself) are hoping for a finale worthy of the excellent previous couple of seasons, and more than a few questions answered would be nice too! UPDATE MTV have also listed a few ways in which Lost ties into comic books.. COMIC BOOK WRITERS: Series co-creator Damon Lindelof isn't just one of the showrunners and lead writers on "Lost," he's also the author of "Ultimate Wolverine vs. Hulk," a limited series from Marvel that reinterpreted the classic first encounter between Logan and Bruce Banner. Additionally, former series writer Brian K. Vaughan is well known for his comic book work on "Y: The Last Man," "Ex Machina," "Runaways" and more. MYSTERY TALES: In the episode "Cabin Fever," a young John Locke is visited by the eternally youthful Richard Alpert in an attempt to see if Locke is ready to come to the island. Richard presents the child with six items — a baseball glove, a book of laws, a container of sand, a compass, a knife and a copy of "Mystery Tales" #40, an old pulp comic that lasted 54 issues. The comic has plenty of easter eggs for "Lost" fans, including a short story called "The Hidden Land!" GREEN LANTERN & THE FLASH: A Spanish translation of "Green Lantern/Flash: Faster Friends Part One" is seen throughout the first season of "Lost," an item brought to the island by Hugo "Hurley" Reyes. He loses the issue during the crash, but it's eventually recovered by the eerie and possibly super-powered Walt Lloyd. After an argument, Walt's father throws the comic book into a fire, causing Walt to angrily focus on a burning panel of a polar bear. Moments later, a polar bear appears in the jungle and chases after Walt. Whoever said comic books aren't dangerous? SUPERMAN VS. THE FLASH: The Flash gets a more prominent shout out in an episode titled "Catch-22," which was co-written by the aforementioned Vaughan. In the episode, Charlie Pace and Hurley have a debate over whether or not the Flash would beat Superman in a race around the world. Before they can settle the argument, a hidden crossbow nearly launches an arrow into Charlie's throat, but he's ultimately saved by the clairvoyant Desmond Hume. Y THE LAST MAN: As if Vaughan's role as a staff writer on "Lost" wasn't cool enough, the scribe was able to show off an issue of "Y: The Last Man" during an episode in the fifth season. In "316," Hurley is seen reading a copy of Vaughan's beloved comic book while waiting to board Ajira Airways Flight 316, a plane that ultimately brings him and his friends back to the island. Much obliged to MTV for the info Here are a couple of vids to whet your appetite.
