Y: The Last Man Book Two

No MAN�s Land 2002, the world changes forever. Every man, every boy, every mammal with a Y chromosome everywhere on Earth suddenly collapses and dies. With the loss of nearly half the planet�s population, the gears of society grind to a halt, and a world of women are left to pick up the pieces and try to keep civilization from collapsing entirely. �gendercide,� however, is not absolutely complete. For some unknown reason, one young man named Yorick Brown and his pet male monkey, Ampersand, are spared. Overnight, this anonymous twentysomething becomes the most important person on the planet - the key, it is hoped, to unlocking the secret of the mysterious sex-specific plague. Yorick himself, the most important person on the planet is 10,000 miles away - and he will stop at nothing to find her. But as he travels across this strange new world, both danger and opportunity alike threaten to derail his journey - and with it the future of the human race. Brian K. Vaughn and artist Pia Guerra�s acclaimed VERTIGO series Y: THE LAST MAN brings to vivid life the age-old speculation: What would really happen to the last man on Earth? Collects Y: THE LAST MAN 11-23.
