Monkey poop? What? ( )

This was my first book taken out from the Minet Library, near Camberwell. Wish I'd joined earlier! ( )

Glad I tried another-this was much better than the last one. ( )

Two years, a trip from the east coast to the west coast, and multiple murders later, Yorick finally gets laid.

I know this doesn't seem like much of a milestone, but come on. It's been two years and he's the only man alive in a whole world full of horny women and it's THIS GUY who's being faithful to someone he was proposing to over the phone when everyone started dying who is left to repopulate the planet? She's on the other side of the world and it took him a month to get out of NYC!

Sometimes you just have to say no to love and start repopulating the planet, dude.

Other than that, this was a pretty exciting volume with a few surprises and a lot more bloody action as the nuts come out to play. :) Oh, and we think we actually know what caused the gendercide. :)

Yorick, Agent 355 and Dr. Mann have finally reached Dr. Mann's lab. It has been two years since all creatures with a Y chromosome, except for Yorick and his pet monkey, Ampersand, were wiped off the face of the earth. In this volume, they are coming closer to finding out what caused this “plague” and why Yorick and Ampersand were spared. Also, in this issue, we get some background on Yorick's sister, Hero, and an update on where she's been since they met up after the plague.

This is one of the better issues of the series, I think. I don't think there were really any parts that I weren't interested in. I really liked this one. ( )
