Y: The Last Man, Unmanned

Y: The Last Man, Unmanned by Brian K Vaughn, 126 pages

Cover image for When a plague of unknown origin instantly kills every mammal with a Y chromosome it leaves only one survivor. Yorick Brown is an unemployed and unmotivated slacker is suddenly the only male left in a world inhabited entirely by women. Accompanied by his mischievous monkey Ampersand and the mysterious Agent 355, Yorick sets out on a journey across the world to find his girlfriend and discover why he is the last man on Earth. Slowing their progress though are gun-wielding wives of Republican representatives, tribes of latter-day Amazons claiming males were meant to die, and mysterious Israeli soldiers, who seem to want Yorick for their own.

Y: The Last Man, Unmanned is a great story well written with the occasional touch of humor, which does a good job of introducing the series. The artwork also seems to work pretty well with the overall story. This a good book for those who enjoy graphic novels.
