A MAN FOR ALL SEASONS In 2002, the world changes forever. Every man, every boy, every mammal with a Y chromosome everywhere on Earth suddenly collapses and dies. With the loss of nearly half the planetÕs population, the gears of society grind to a halt, and a world of women is left to pick up the pieces and try to keep civilization from collapsing entirely. The Ògendercide,Ó however, is not absolutely complete. For some unknown reason, one young man named Yorick Brown and his pet male monkey, Ampersand, are spared. Overnight, this anonymous twenty-something becomes the most important person on the planet - the key, it is hoped, to unlocking the secret of the mysterious sex-specific plague. For Yorick himself, the cause of the epidemic is less important than the fate of his beloved fiancŽe, Beth. Now, after nearly four years and countless grueling miles, the final answers are about to be revealed-and the truth may be more than any man could bear. In the conclusion to their acclaimed VERTIGO series Y: THE LAST MAN, writer Brian K. Vaughan and artist Pia Guerra bring to vivid life the age-old speculation: What would really happen to the last man on Earth? Collects Y: THE LAST MAN #49-60.

Y- The Last Man 5 Seit zwei Jahren ist Yorick Brown, der letzte überlebende Mann der Erde, auf einer Odyssee durch Nordamerika, gemeinsam mit seinem Haustier, dem Äffchen Ampersand (dem einzigen anderen männlichen Säugetier, das die Seuche überstand, die im Jahr 2002 alle mit einem Y-Chromosom ausgestatteten Lebewesen dahinraffte). Doch nun haben Yorick und seine Gefährtinnen – Agentin 355 und die Kloning-Spezialistin Dr. Allison Mann – endlich das Labor von Dr. Mann in San Francisco erreicht. Hier kann sie hoffentlich dem Geheimnis auf den Grund gehen, warum Yorick und Ampersand überlebt haben. Aber jetzt, da das Trio nicht mehr ständig unterwegs ist, haben auch dessen zahlreiche Verfolger Gelegenheit aufzuschließen. Diesen Bedrohungen können Yorick und seine Gefährtinnen wenigstens ins Auge schauen. Weit tückischer jedoch sind die Gefahren, die sie nicht sehen können. Sie könnten dem letzten Mann den Garaus machen – und mit ihm auch der ganzen Menschheit. Neil Gaimans Neverwhere Richard Mayhew ist ein ganz gewöhnlicher junger Mann, der seine Tage mit einem ganz gewöhnlichen Job verbringt. Bis er etwas Ungewöhnliches tut. Er will einer geheimnisvollen jungen Frau helfen, die verletzt auf der Straße liegt. Wegen dieser einfachen, einzigen Tat wird sein Leben nie wieder gewöhnlich sein.

As awareness of climate change grows, so do the number of cultural depictions of environmental disaster. Graphic novels have reliably produced dramatizations of such disasters. Many use themes of dystopian hopefulness, or the enjoyment readers experience from seeing society prevail in times of apocalypse. This book argues that these generally inspirational narratives contribute to a societal apathy for real-life environmental degradation. By examining the narratives and art of the environmental apocalypse in contemporary graphic novels, the author stands against dystopian hope, arguing that the ways in which we experience depictions of apocalypse shape how we respond to real crises.

Destruction, Ethics, and Intergalactic Love: Exploring Y: The Last Man and Saga offers a creative and accessible exploration of the two comic book series, examining themes like nonviolence; issues of gender and war; heroes and moral failures; forgiveness and seeking justice; and the importance of diversity and religious pluralism. Through close interdisciplinary reading and personal narratives, the author delves into the complex worlds of Y and Saga in search of an ethics, meaning, and a path resonant with real-world struggles. Reading these works side by side, the analysis draws parallels and seeks common themes around the four central ideas of seeking and making meaning in a meaningless world; love and parenting through oppression and grief; peacefulness when surrounded by violence; and the perils and hopes of diversity and communion. This timely and thoughtful study will resonate with scholars and students of comic studies, media and cultural studies, philosophy, theology, literature, psychology, and popular culture studies.
