"Just because you've got a d*** doesn't mean that you're invincible."
All beings with a y chromosome have died from some sort of plague. That is, all except one man, and his monkey. He only wants to find his girlfriend, but it seems the world has bigger plans for him. His mom and a genetic doctor want to use him to repopulate the world. The Daughters of the Amazon are hunting him down, hoping to eradicate his species for good.
This is a great graphic novel for those who are interested, but not particularly interested in super heroes. It's really fast paced, with a lot of fun humor. It has a lot of layers, bringing forth issues larger than just the absence of males in terms of procreation. I cannot wait to read the next one.
