Cover image for Yorick Brown, the last man on Earth, has begun making his way across the country to California where Dr. Mann hopes to figure out why he and Ampersand somehow survived the plague. However along their journey they have an unscheduled stop in the town of Marrisville, Ohio which harbors a big secret, discover that a Russian capsule from the International Space Station is coming down with possible male survivors, and Yorick gets to spend some time with the Agent 355's mysterious friend Agent 711. All the while avoiding Israeli special forces and crazed man hating cults, and keeping Yorick from exposing his identity.

So far this series continues to stay interesting, with well done excellent episodic writing, clever ideas, and characters that you actually start to care about. While the art isn't as remarkable as other graphic novels it does well in conveying the action and general tone of the series.
