Product Description:
The series that has taken the US by storm comes to the UK in the second of an all-new Titan graphic novel series! From writer Brian K. Vaughan (Swamp Thing, The Hood) and up-and-coming artist Pia Guerra comes a view of a dystopian society where suddenly - and without warning - a mysterious plague kills every living creature on the planet with a Y chromosone...in other words, no more men! Except one. Yorick Brown has somehow survived. It's now a very different world, and his unique status is far from privileged. He finds himself on the run from a coven of Amazons who want him dead...one of whom is his own sister!

- The plot thickens and the fun continues
The first book in Brian K. Vaughan's Y: THE LAST MAN set up the premise: all the males in the world of every species have died except for loser named Yorick Brown and his pet monkey Ampersand. In the chaos that follows American society is oppressed by totalitarian Amazons, who are marked ideologically by an intense detestation of all things male (in later books they will even try to tear down structures they imagine are male) and by their ill-informed attempt to mimic Amazons by cutting off one breast (actually, there is no good evidence that the mythical Amazons removed a breast so as to be better archers, and I've been told by women who are actually good with a bow that there is no physiological reason to need to do so).

In this book Yorick, Ampersand, the mysterious Agent 355, and Dr. Mann begin their continent wide journey to Mann's San Francisco genetics lab, where she hopes to find a cure for ... Read More

- Something Interesting About Sequels
Usually, when a movie comes out with a sequel, the original is always better. However, it seems to be the opposite with novels (both graphic and prose). I always find myself liking the second volume in a book series better than the first, and that trend continues with "Cycles," the second arc of "Y: The Last Man."

Since the whole "men are wiped out" thing was covered last issue, things flow a lot more smoothly in this issue. It allows more time for plot and character interaction, the latter of which I am finding to be the best part of this series. The core characters are established as Yorick, Agent 355, and Dr. Mann (who I have yet to 'figure out' as a character) and the villains (the Amazons) are also developed as well. The plot of this arc revolves around a community of women who have actually benefited from the death of men. It was interesting to see Yorick and, later, the Amazons interact with ... Read More

- Y Just Gets Better With Each Volume
I didn't Y: The Last Man would get much better than the first volume. I was wrong. Volume 2 had an incredibly exciting story with a lot of humor in it. Brian K. Vaughn is a really good writer, and this is demonstrated in Y: the Last Man. I look forward to reading the rest of the series.

- Graphic SF Reader
Yorick has gained some companions. Agent 355 is working for the mysterious Culper Ring, some sort of ultra-secret spook organisation. It is not quite clear who is pulling her strings, or the strings of her agency. There ia also a scientist who specialises in biology and genetics, and she hopes that Yorick and Ampersand can help her make a cure.

They all have to survive an ex-prison town, a crazed Amazon cult, and Yorick's sister, first.
