Y: THE LAST MAN, winner of three Eisner Awards and one of the most
critically acclaimed, best-selling comic book series of the last decade,
is that rare example of a page-turner that is at once humorous, socially
relevant and endlessly surprising.
Written by Brian K. Vaughan (LOST, PRIDE OF BAGHDAD, EX MACHINA) and
with art by Pia Guerra, this is the saga of Yorick Brown--the only human
survivor of a planet-wide plague that instantly kills every mammal
possessing a Y chromosome. Accompanied by a mysterious government agent,
a brilliant young geneticist and his pet monkey, Ampersand, Yorick
travels the world in search of his lost love and the answer to why he's
the last man on Earth.
In these stories, a Russian Soyuz capsule is coming down from the
International Space Station carrying three passengers: one woman and two
men. Could this be the end of Yorick's tenure as last living male? And
then, as the Last Man on Earth and his companions continue to head west,
the story takes a detour into the psychological. In the care of a fellow
Culper Ring member, Yorick Brown is forced to confront his tremendous
feelings of survivor guilt that lead him to constantly put his life in
danger.
