Y: The Last Man, Vol. 2: Cycles by Brian K. Vaughan
5.0
The quest of Yorick the last man, Ampersand the capuchin, 355 the secret agent, and Dr Mann the genetic scientist continues in this second installment. The group heads west by train to find Dr. Mann's contingency lab where they can continue experiments to determine what caused the males-only holocaust.
On their way they encounter a highly-functional town of women, battle with the crazy but uncomfortably sympathetic Amazons (the leader of this group is particularly well written, as her anti-male rhetoric takes a lot of stuff I know and love from feminism and warps it into vengeful psychotic brainwashing crap), and the possibility of a second romance for Yorick.
The role of Yorick's sister in this story is only going to keep getting more poignant and amazing, I can already tell.
