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.

I've been meaning to read this series for ages. Somehow I just never picked it up... Glad that I did grab it last visit to the library. I read the entire volume today after packing. The storyline isn't anything earth shattering, but that's okay. I'm reading this series for the characters. I love the different character groups that Yorick encounters on his journeys. The best has been the Amazons. I can't wait to see where and when they reappear. And Agent 355 is just amazing. Can't wait to read more.
