So, in 2002, a mysterious plague wipes out every last mammal on the planet Earth with a Y chromosome. Except Yorick (he's a dude) and Ampersand (his pet monkey). With the joint purpose of finding his girlfriend/fiancée Beth (last heard of somewhere in the Australian outback) and discovering the reason for his immunity to the plague, Yorick joins forces with Agent 355 and Dr Alison Mann, along with a bunch of crazy Amazons, some astronauts, a varied cast of regulars and other villagers and idiots, to entertain us for 9 mighty volumes. Volume 10 is due to be released in a couple of days...
A really neat idea, this... One thousand and one ordinary people, linked by the extraordinary Miranda Zero - each one of them an expert at something, and each one of them needed to help save the world in their own way. Highly recommended.
