false 332631 7 It's 2002, and a plague of unknown origin has killed all of the male mammals on —all except an amateur escape artist named Yorick Brown and his surly helper monkey, Ampersand.

To ensure the survival of the species, they've teamed up with a gun-toting government agent and the world's premier bioengineer to discover the secret behind the plague. But while they ride the rails across a radically transformed America, the man-hating Daughters of the Amazon are right behind them—and an unplanned stopover in the seemingly utopian town of Marrisville, Ohio may mean the end of the line for the Last Man. 1584086 book 1 9 2003 Y: The Last Man Vol. 2: Cycles total:3086|5:1180|4:1390|3:453|2:54|1:9| 3086 12936 3527 114 5 2 false false Sat Mar 01 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Sat Mar 01 15:45:53 -0800 2008 Sat Mar 01 15:50:21 -0800 2008 more...]]> 4 2 false false Tue Jan 15 14:17:45 -0800 2008 Tue Jan 15 14:20:54 -0800 2008 Yorrick and company wind up in a small, idyllic, seemingly all-American town...only it happens to be run by the former inmates of a nearby women's prison.
