Format:Paperback
This volume contains two stories. The first deals with the orbiting astronauts and is an OK piece of drama with a bit of action and some funny lines. The second story ditches all our main characters and focuses on a group of travelling players who decide what is needed is a contemporary play about the world after the plague. They decide to call it The Last Man after the little known Mary Shelly novel.
Whilst I wasn't sure at first this is a radical step in storytelling and should be applauded. The play within a play feels very Shakespearian which is perfect as this is a tale about actors. It allows the author to express some ideas that wouldn't fit well foisted on his established characters. There is a brief but intelligent discussion on the role of art and women on the stage.
The art is pretty standard apart from one night scene lit by a lantern that really stands out and shows the artist is capable of so much more than the deadlines will allow. Not the greatest volume but still a Thumbs Up!

Format:Paperback
After a plague which wipes out every creature carrying an X chromosome except for one man, Yorick Brown (alas) and his monkey Ampersand, the pair are travelling across post apocalyptic America with mysterious government agent 355 and bioengineer Dr Mann in search of the doctor's experimental files and a possible cure for the plague. Israeli soldiers, a Russian agent and the return to earth of three astronauts, two male, from the International Space Station make for a great dystopia, can't wait to read the next. Brilliantly written by Vaughan and drawn by Guerra.
