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