Vaughan (Swamp Thing, The Hood) and up and coming artist Pia Guerra comes a view of a dystopian society where suddenly – and lacking warning – a mysterious plague kills every living creature on the planet with a Y chromosone…in additional words, no more men! Except one. Amateur escape artist Yorick Brown has somehow survived. It’s now a very different world, and his unique status is far from privileged. If they can’t exploit Yorick, the new world powers may just choose his usefulness is at an end!

So riveting and utterly intriguing that when I place it down half way through to go get a drink out of the kitchen, I never felt the need to pick it back up. That was months ago.
Reminiscent of Fables in that it sounds like an appealing concept and Wizard assured me that it was greater than even sliced bread but the reality was a dull piece of mediocre fiction by a writer lacking the proper skills to captivate an audience who didn’t fall for the hype.
Avoid like smallpox, which would probably be more fun.

I agree that this was hyped. The artwork was completely missing in depth due to the unadorned faces & paint by numbers tan. The plot was a cheap weave of about 6 different tales, and you’d know that sooner or later they’d all come together in the end, but many books you’d have to buy to reach it. Completely disappointed, I threw it away.

Unique and well-written. I like this book!

I wanted to like this series but volume one was as far as I could get. Very ancient-school in that the women are all one-dimensional and only the central male character has any pretense of depth. With so many excellent comic artists around, why waste your time on this? It’s underlying philosophy and message is anti-woman and adolescent. Grow up, guys!

I bought this book because of the hype, because of the awards. I’ve just recently gotten into comics and have been adoring truley fantastic authors like Gaiman, Moore, and Millar. This book but, though highly reviewed, disappointed me more than I can tell.
Where should I start? The one redeeming aspect of this book is the original concept: one male human and a male monkey are all that have survived a mysterious catastrophe that killed all the additional mammals that have a y chromosome. Appealing setting to start from.
Aside from this everything is terrible. The characters are two dimensional and completely uninteresting. Their responses to the disaster are undeveloped and unrealistic. The dialogue is filled with stupid jokes and one liners that are uninteresting and predictable. The universe the tale takes place in remains completely undeveloped.
And then there are the gender problems. In a situation where the leader could have endless appealing things to say about gender in our society, what does he do? He divides women into two groups: the “normal” women, who behave how you’d expect, and the rampant psycho-feminists who burn off a breast and myopically attempt to ruin everything male. This is Rush Limbaugh’s thought of feminism: any women who dreams of being treated equally must really be a ravaging lunatic. There is no depth, no shade of gray, no attempt to know why some women might have a right to be mad by how society has treated them, no anything that makes it appealing. It is simply a fallback on unrealistic and damaging stereotypes that exist so that men don’t have to reflect upon gender relations within our society. Really dull and offensive. (I could handle the Amazons, as they are called, if there was ANY depth to them at all, or if they weren’t place forword as the definition of feminism.)
The political interactions are similarly simplified and uninteresting (sophmoric jokes about republicans and democrats both, each of which do nothing to shed any real light on what people would really do in such a situation).
Furthermore, the art, while not terrible, is certainly not appealing. It manages to tell the tale in pictures, but it never does anything that stuns you, moves you, or surprises you.
I really wanted to like this tale, because I am searching for comics that are truly works of art. This is not. Sorry.
