8 Comics Outside Of Marvel And DC You Should Totally Check Out
7. Y: The Last Man
Written by Brian K.
Vaughan and illustrated by Pia Guerra, this comic was published from 2002 until
2008 and ran for a total of 60 issues.
Probably the most well-known comic on the list, this post-apocalyptic tale presents a cross country adventure to transport Yorick Brown, the last remaining male, accompanied by his also male monkey to a government facility after all the men in the world have been mysteriously wiped out.
In an attempt to discover the cause behind the mysterious androcide and reverse it, Yorick, along with Agent 355 (a government agent assigned to protect him) and Dr. Allison Mann (an expert geneticist) face off against countless threats from women trying to kill, capture, or experiment on the last man on Earth.
It’s an exciting tale that effortlessly incorporates tense action with likeable characters and some pretty trippy sci-fi elements. Vaughan and Guerra do a great job at crafting an engaging story that will constantly have you wanting more after every issue.
With a show based on Y: The Last Man currently in production with FX, now is the perfect time to catch up on this critically acclaimed comic.
