The story is actually quite entertaining at the surface. Yorick and Ampersand, his pet monkey, are navigating through a post apocalyptic planet where anyone with a Y chromosome but him has dropped dead. This is a loser guy that's a disappointment to his family who finally has purpose as "The Last Man", a title he doesn't even want since he's sworn off relations with women and is just riding solo with his monkey. He's a disappointment to his mother who is a big time US Senator, and his sister who eventually gets caught up in the panic of the feminism movement when they realize the population is going into extinction.
I read these in individual issues as they came out, but this volume you get to discover Yorick's quest to travel the world and find out why he of all men survived, more about the Culper Ring and his mother's involvement including assigning black Agent 355 to him (who initially hates his guts but grows fond of him) as they travel coast to coast trying to get to a cloning lab of a scientist his mother wants him to see to figure out if they can change humanity.
I'll give this issue five stars truly for starting off strong and leaving the audience engaged, but be forewarned, it goes downhill from here. ( )
