Book Log 2015 #43: Y: The Last Man by Brian Vaughan and Pia Guerra

An unknown sickness kills every male creature in the world - except for Yorick Brown and his pet monkey. Yorick wants to go to Australia to find his girlfriend, but others - including his mother - have other ideas. They want to figure out why Yorick and his monkey survived, and if they can be used to create new males. Yorick gets hooked up with a mysterious secret agent and an ethically-challenged geneticist, with the group trying to get to California to get to the doctor's lab. Along the way, they run into various militant feminists, including a group whose members now include Yorick's sister, who would happily kill Yorick and his monkey.

I've read about half of the issues of this graphic novel, and am enjoying it, though I'm not sure if I'm that into graphic novels generally. Still, I'm looking forward to the second half of the series.
