If you like comic books, or even if you don't, you should read Y: The Last Man.
Written by Brian K. Vaughan (who also wrote Ex Machina, which I brought with me to Malaysia) and pencilled by Pia Guerra, the premise is that a catastrophic something instantly kills every male mammal (or sperm, or fetus) on Earth except for an amateur twenty-something escape artist named Yorick and his pet monkey, Ampersand.
I've recently read all seven graphic novel compilations, and Tenderfoot is now also completely hooked. Someone in her office knows Vaughan and lent her the most recent comic (they come out frequently as individual comics and are then compiled into graphic novel format) and she's taunting me with it...
The story is compelling and funny. Yorick is goofy and likable.
Check it out!
