Several words to describe Vaughn’s work would be: clever, political,
wry, variably pessimistic and optimistic, well-written, and fast-paced.
The dystopian future where all living things with a Y chromosome die in
the same exact instant (except for one man and his monkey) is a truly
fascinatingly concept that is explored intelligently. I applaud the
writer for handling the political and social fallout realistically. The
first arc depicts Yorick’s travels with Agent 355 and Dr. Mann to reach
her lab in California and develop a means of cloning males for the human
species to survive. Their long journey across America’s chaotic
landscape culminates in a climactic confrontation in a small settlement
in Ohio between Yorick and his sister, wherein they find one another
fearsomely changed by the event that changed the world.
