Book Synopsis

The story of the last man on Earth and his quest to find love, hope, and answers in a world turned upside down.

In a single moment, the world's men are wiped out by a mysterious plague, leaving only women behind--except for one. Yorick Brown, an unassuming escape artist, and his pet monkey Ampersand become the focus of humanity's hopes and fears as they embark on a perilous journey to uncover why they've survived.

Yorick's quest to find his girlfriend and discover the truth of the plague leads him into a radically transformed world full of political intrigue, desperate alliances, and terrifying dangers. Can Yorick navigate this new society while holding on to his humanity, or will the weight of being the last man standing crush him?

This volume collects Y: The Last Man #1-10.
