Brian K. Vaughan and Pia Guerra bring the curtains down on the adventures Yorick and his monkey Ampersand in a world where all the men died and women were left to carry on.

The last issue is certainly didn't deviate too much from the general tone of the series: rife with pop-culture references, a great balance of humor and pathos, and an ending which flew in the face of comic-book conventionalities. The last story arc itself pulled no punches as Vaughan refused to give in to the usual comic-book gimmicks opting instead to follow the story where it led him - the dead stayed dead and his characters behave more like real people than caricatures.
