Y: The Last Man by Brian K. Vaughan and Pia Guerra
An earlier comic series by Brian K. Vaughan, Y: The Last Man details the plight of New York resident Yorick Brown and his Capuchin monkey Ampersand, the only male mammals who survived a worldwide “gendercide” (a plague that simultaneously killed any mammal with a Y chromosome). As declared by the new, all-female government, it is Yorick’s job as the last man on Earth to help find a way to save the human race. Y: The Last Man depicts Yorick’s attempts to understand his own survival, solve the crisis of the world’s re-population, and find his lost love.

The star of Kevin Keller continued to ascend last weekend at Comic-Con International in San Diego, where it was announced that the first openly gay Archie Comics character would graduate from his in-progress miniseries to a full-fledged ongoing series next February.

In Keller’s feature, the character will be married to another man.
