Yorick Brown, the last man on Earth, finally makes it to San Franciscowhere his unbalanced sister, Hero, finds him seemingly succumbing to themale-killing plague after losing his still-unused engagement ring to theburqa-clad agents of the Setauket Ring. But is the ring really the key to hissurvival? And what does it have to do with the mysterious Amulet of Helene,which the Setauket leader is determined to take from Agent 355 by any meansnecessary. Collects issues #24-31 of the runaway hit Vertigo series by Brian K.Vaughan (EX-MACHINA, ASTONISHING X-MEN, RUNAWAYS) and Pia Guerra.

An adolescent male daydream becomes a nightmare in this convoluted SFthriller. Having somehow survived a plague that instantly killed all the othermen on Earth, Yorick Brown finds himself the object of universal desire.Unfortunately, some of the women frantically chasing him are members of alesbian Amazon cult that wants revenge for centuries of masculine oppression.Others are more interested in exploiting Yorick\'s unique immunity than inhaving sex with him. In this collection of eight issues of the monthly comic,Yorick bounces from one group to another as he also tries to discover why hewas spared and whether there is any way to make the world safe for other men.Meanwhile, women debate whether the world is really a better place withoutmen—although the story so far shows that women are fully capable of taking overmale roles in violence, conceit and general obtuseness. Guerra and Marzan\'ssedate art makes the extreme situations look convincing, and Vaughn\'s scriptkeeps the interplay of different factions moving briskly even if readers can\'tbe sure what each represents. Despite its outlandish premise, this works muchbetter than it has any right to. - Publishers WeeklyCOLLECTING:
