"The best science fiction story in America is not at the multiplex theater, on television or even on the bookshelf. It's in writer Brian K. Vaughan and artist Pia Guerra's comic book series: Y: THE LAST MAN." - The St. Louis Post Dispatch
"Vaughan brings a burning suspense out of the scenario drop by drop, helped by the serialized format of comics, leaving readers to figure out what happens next and why... Nails, prepare to be bitten." - Columbus Alive
What can a MAN do?
Now more than halfway across the country, Earth's sole surviving human male, Yorick Brown, and his companions, cloning specialist Dr. Allison Mann and government agent 355, are preparing for the final leg of their journey to San Francisco, where Dr. Mann's most important experiment awaits. But before they can leave, they need to get antibiotics for the planet's only other living male - Yorick's monkey, Ampersand. For Yorick, that means an enforced stay in the back country of Colorado with one of 355's former associates, the retired agent 711.
But Yorick is in for much more than a quiet weekend in the woods. Of all the dangers that he's faced in his travels, what awaits him in 711's small cabin will be the hardest to confront - and will also prove to be the difference between life and death for the world's last man.
Collecting issues 18-23 of creators Brian K. Vaughan and Pia Guerra's acclaimed VERTIGO series, Y: THE LAST MAN - SAFEWORD further challenges the complex characters of this absorbing, fast-paced speculative tale.
