It's been more than 13 years since Brian K. Vaughan & Pia Guerras: Y. The Last Man, which imagines a world where almost all men die in an outbreak. There are a few notable exceptions to this, such as Yorick and his pet monkey. This story was published by DC Comics. After what seems like 100 years of Hollywood ruminating on an adaptation, we are now very close to a show based upon the series.AdvertisementIt's happening ahead of Y: the Last Mans highly-anticipated debut next year (yes, it really is happening!
