Y


This is Yorick Brown, a twentysomething amateur escape artist who appears to be the sole human male survivor of a mysterious plague that instantly killed every other male mammal with a Y chromosome on the planet. 48% of the global population, or approximately 2.9 billion men, was instantaneously exterminated.

Weird?
Even more enigmatic is that a male monkey named Ampersand, whom Yorick was in the process of training for disabled people, also survived the plaque unscathed.

As the world's nations struggle to bury the billions left dead and rebuild society, powerful and dangerous groups learn of Yorick and Ampersand's existence and seek to capture the last two males on the planet -- or finish the job that the plaque started.

It´s been 3 years but Bryan K. Vaugh and Pia Guerra´s "Y - the last man on earth" continues to gather excelent reviews from the public, draw attention from the Media and never failing to impress on what is, undoughtably, one of the best monthly comic books around.

After finishing (on a row) the 4 Trade paperbacks available from Dc´s Vertigo imprint, i suspect that a somebody, somewhere in Hollywood must be thinking the same as me.

I´ll “see” you soon, Yorick !
