Y: The Last Man Vol, 1 Unmanned

A superlative work; definitely in my Top Ten of any medium (books, movie, etc.) And it opened me up to all the possibilities of graphic novels.

In the near future, one day all the men mysteriously hemorrhage and die. Except one: an amateur escape artist named Yorick, together with his pet monkey, Ampersand. Journey with Yorick through the post-gendercide/post-male landscape, and marvel at the authors' unbelievably well-thought-out, incredibly clever, and often very touching vision of what such a world would look like. Naturally, lots of great commentary on gender. But, in addition, it has wonderful action and some of THE BEST dialogue I have ever read. When a one-eyed lady kills another, Yorick exclaims, “But you have no depth perception!”

Highly, highly, highly recommended.
