Recommended Reading: Y-The Last Man

An ultimate male fantasy, what happens if you are the only living man left on the planet (not totally, there is your pet Monkey Ampersand). We are talking about the complete wipe-out, spontaneous death of all everything possessing a Y chromosome. You are going to be rather popular.

Written by one of the writers from LOST, Bryan K Vaughan, and unlike LOST which is kind of getting really lost, this series actually has closure come book #60. And it doesn't have any silly spin-off titles with the likes of the Ultimates, Astonishing, Uncanny X-men Evolution Revolution.

Fantastic artwork from co-creator Pia Guerra and told like a real storyboard of a television series. Actors reactions showed in multi-frames, a backward counting clock tracing the events that led to the fall of man and then there is getting his asses kicked by the single-breasted Daughters of Amazon.

With all the comic-books-into-film phase going on (Nic Cage as Ghostrider, please? At least there is very WETA The Sliver Surfer coming soon.), this one apparently has been picked up by New Line Cinema. Although, personally, it pans out well as a television series if given a tighten edit.
