Description

In a world drastically altered by a mysterious plague that wipes out every male mammal on the planet, one man, Yorick Brown, finds himself alone and uniquely positioned as the last surviving male. This harrowing yet fascinating premise unfolds in a landscape where societal structures and norms are turned upside down. Women step into roles previously held by men, facing both the challenges and opportunities of a world without them.

Yorick, accompanied by his pet monkey Ampersand, sets out on a journey that is both a quest for survival and a search for purpose. He encounters remarkable female characters, each navigating their new reality, showcasing resilience and the complexities of their new society. The narrative expertly weaves themes of gender dynamics, identity, and the often messy nature of human relationships into a rich tapestry of storytelling.

As Yorick grapples with his identity in a world that no longer needs men, he becomes a symbol of hope and the struggle for understanding amidst confusion and loss. The emotional depth and intelligent commentary on gender roles make this story not only an adventure but also a profound exploration of what it means to be human.

With striking artwork that captures the mood and tone of this bleak yet hopeful scenario, the visual storytelling complements the intricate narratives. It challenges readers to reflect on the implications of a world reshaped by loss while still finding reasons to hope in humanity's resilience.
