Y: The Last Man, Vol. 1: Unmanned

A mysterious plague wipes out every male mammal on Earth except Yorick Brown and his monkey Ampersand. As governments and factions scramble to adapt, Yorick becomes both a living anomaly and a target.

He sets out to uncover why he survived while also trying to reach his girlfriend in Australia. Along the way, he is pulled into political crises, extremist groups, and shifting power struggles in a world struggling to function without men.

The volume introduces several key allies and opponents, including a bodyguard, a scientist, and militant women’s factions. The story combines the search for an explanation with a cross-country survival journey and ends while still withholding major answers.
