"Y: The Last Man" follows the story of the last man on Earth, Yorick Brown, after a mysterious plague kills all the males on the planet except for him and his pet capuchin monkey named Ampersand. This is the 8th volume in the the series, and it's almost over. In the last couple of volumes, we learned that the key to the plague might actually have been in Ampersand, and Yorick was saved by his close proximity. Now ninjas have stolen the monkey, and Yorick and his friends are trying to get him back.
This whole series is worth reading, just for the interesting plot of there being only ONE man left on Earth. It's an interesting attempt to predict how women would react. There are conspiracy theorists, politicians trying to hold it all together, lesbians!, but most are just normal women that have to figure out how to make a living for themselves in such a post-apocalyptic world. The art's not bad, either, especially the covers.
