In Y: The Last Man, Book One, did you enjoy ...

... a driving quest for survival and meaning after a global catastrophe?

Station Eleven by Emily St. John Mandel

If you were captivated by Yorick's mission to find answers and connection in Y: The Last Man, you'll find yourself drawn into Station Eleven, where survivors like Kirsten Raymonde navigate a post-pandemic world, piecing together the remnants of civilization and searching for hope amidst chaos. The characters' journeys are propelled by urgent goals, giving the novel a compelling sense of purpose.

... a complex, memorable group of characters with intertwined stories?

Saga Vol. 1 by Brian K. Vaughan

Much like the dynamic between Yorick, Agent 355, and Dr. Mann in Y: The Last Man, Saga introduces you to a rich ensemble of characters—Marko, Alana, The Will, and more—whose intersecting lives and perspectives make for an engaging, character-driven adventure across a fantastical universe.

... characters who are forced to adapt and grow in a world turned upside down?

The Walking Dead: Days Gone Bye by Robert Kirkman

If you appreciated Yorick's evolution and the way the apocalypse forces him (and others) to confront their own flaws and strengths, you'll be gripped by The Walking Dead: Days Gone Bye. Rick Grimes and his group must continually adapt, survive, and change as the moral landscape of their world grows ever more uncertain.

... protagonists with complicated motives and questionable methods?

V for Vendetta by Alan Moore

If the morally gray decisions of Yorick and Agent 355 intrigued you in Y: The Last Man, you'll be fascinated by V for Vendetta. Here, V is a revolutionary whose radical actions and ambiguous morality force you to question what truly makes a hero—or a villain—in a dystopian world.

... a world transformed by gender dynamics and strong women shaping society?

The Power by Naomi Alderman

If you were drawn to the prominent, complex female characters and the exploration of gender dynamics in Y: The Last Man, you'll be absorbed by The Power. Alderman imagines a world where women develop extraordinary abilities, upending global gender roles and following several powerful women as they navigate—and reshape—society.
