Y the Last Man v. 3: One Small Step
My re-reading of Bryan K. Vaughan’s comic-book series Y The Last Man continues with volume 3, One Small Step. A plague wipes out all creatures on the planet with a Y chromosome except for Yorick Brown and his pet monkey, Ampersand. They team with Agent 355 of the mysterious Culper Ring, and Dr. Alison Mann, a geneticist, to cross the country in search of more information. Along the way they encounter Russian special forces, Israeli commandos, astronauts, and travelling actors. There are secrets, lies, at least one love triangle, and a ninja, to boot.
If there’s one thing I hate, it’s crappy works of fiction that try to sound important by stealing names from the Bard.
This volume, like the previous two, was a quick read that I found hard to put down.
