This fantastic graphic novel is the first in the series, I'm hoping that the rest are just as good.
This volume introduces us to a fairly recognisable world, in some jobs and careers women and men are equal in other inequality still exists. Then a series pf events occur and the men instataneously drop dead. All except one: Yorrick (and his pet monkey).
As the women try to come to terms with the recent events and keep their lives moving they have a series of problems to contend with: A need to clear away the dead bodies, a lack of food and services, a lack of a stable experienced government and the Amazons. The Amazons are a bunch of hard headed feminists, set out to control through fear and violence, they celebrate the destruction of the male society and seek ways to exploit their position. Their trademark: One burnt off breast.
The next volume is on hold at the library, can't wait to pick it up.

I read this book last year and loved it. I kept thinking while I was reading this was "would women really act that way?" I know we wouldn't be exactly normal after there are virtually no men left on the planet, but still. I can't wait to read what you think of the rest of the series.
I loved this when I read it last year. I must get around to continuing with the series soon. I need to know why he ended up surviving when no other men did.
I loved this series! Some of the volumes were more engaging than others, but overall, quite an interesting look at an apocolyptic world with only two male mammals surviving. Keep reading!
