The premise of Y is that a plague of unknown origin has killed all the men on Earth, except for Yorick Brown and his helper monkey, Ampersand. In this volume, they really play with the concept of “last man on Earth”, as a Soyuz capsule with three astronauts on it, including two males, comes down to Earth. At the same time, a group of Israeli commandos makes a play to kidnap Yorick.

Vaughn kind of steps back a bit in this one, and gives us a bit of a wider view at what's going on outside of the US as a result of the gender plague. I really appreciate that, as most disaster genre stories tend to focus only on what's going on inside one country.
