Overnight, this anonymous twentysomething becomes the most important person on the planet-the key, it is hoped, to unlocking the secret of the mysterious sex-specific plague.įor Yorick himself, the most important person on the planet is 10,000 miles away-and he will stop at nothing to find her. For some unknown reason, one young man named Yorick Brown and his pet male monkey, Ampersand, are spared. The "gendercide," however, is not absolutely complete.
With the loss of nearly half the planet's population, the gears of society grind to a halt, and a world of women are left to pick up the pieces and try to keep civilization from collapsing entirely. Every man, every boy, every mammal with a Y chromosome everywhere on Earth suddenly collapses and dies. Vaughn's classic 60-issue post-apocalyptic series is now available in this new omnibus. While these characters don't have anything to compare to in the source material, they certainly are welcomed and exciting presences within the show.īut for now we are going to look at how some of the show's cast members compare to the original versions of the characters-as Vaughan wrote them, and Guerra drew them in Y: The Last Man 's 60-issue run.Brian K. So that means new characters-a Trans man, played by Elliot Fletcher and a Meghan McCain-esque conservative pundit, played by Amber Tamblyn-added to the narrative as a way to bring the story into our modern day. What the Y: The Last Man series also does is expand upon the world that we got in the comic. These roles were recast, and, luckily, each replacement knocks their role out of the park. Many of the actors originally cast had to leave the project due to scheduling, including Barry Keoghan (the original Yorick, who will soon be seen in Eternals), Lashana Lynch (the original 355, who will soon be seen in No Time To Die) and Imogen Poots (the original Hero).

The story is exactly the same as the Brian K. It took a long road here-including many years of stops and starts in development as a film, from 2007 to 2014-but Y: The Last Manhas finally arrived in live-action form, ultimately as a TV series in the FX on Hulu collection (developed by FX, but streaming exclusively on Hulu and not on traditional television).
