XY

Recently I've been totally pysched on a comic series called Y: The Last Man. Written by Brian K. Vaughn and published by Vertigo (sublabel of DC), Y is about the last man on earth and his male monkey after everything on earth with a y chromosome suddenly dies. The main character Yorick's main goal is to make it from Brooklyn to Australia, where he believes his girlfriend his. His adventure quickly get side tracked when he meets a secret agent intent on getting him to a docter in order to help save the human race. Along they way the run into several groups of women all dealing the the now manless society in different ways. Several wish to get there hands on the last man for a number or different reasons.

Y is incredibly well written and never manages to slow down. currently the series is up to issue 48. The best way to read the series is through the collections currently up to vol. 8, each collects about 6 or 7 issues and available at most comic shops and online. It's rumored that the series will only be 60 issues long. Jump on the train before the ride is over.
