After an unknown illness wiped out all the men on earth bar Yorrick and his pet monkey, Ampersand, he is swept into a journey guarded only by Agent 355 and Dr. Allison Mann. In Book 2, the journey continues, with our trio coming head to head with Russian agents, playwrights, sexual torture, and some Texan thugs.
Brian K. Vaughan really is one of the best comic book writers working today, and the second arc of Y: The Last Man shows this off in full. The characters deepen, the threats become more frightening and loose threads start to find each other. Supported by brilliant artwork by Pia Guerra, Y: The Last Man continually comes together as one of best things I've read recently, tight and taut and always finding ways to put its characters through the ringer.
