Book Description
The continuation of Brian K. Vaughan and artist Pia Guerra’s acclaimed VERTIGO series Y: THE LAST MAN brings to vivid life the age-old speculation: What would really happen to the last man on Earth? dIn 2002, the world changes forever. Every man, every boy, every mammal with a Y chromosome everywhere on Earth suddenly collapses and dies. 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. The “gendercide,” however, is not absolutely complete. For some unknown reason, one young man named Yorick Brown and his pet male monkey, Ampersand, are spared. Overnight, this anonymous twenty-something becomes the most important person on the planet-the key, it is hoped, to unlocking the secret of the mysterious sex-specific plague. For Yorick himself, the most important person on the planet has been agonizingly out of reach. But now, after three long years and 10,000 arduous miles, the last man is closing in on the truth about his lost fiancée-and the shocking facts behind his own survival.

Book Description
The Vietnam war is over, halted overnight by the rise of the living, hungry dead, but for CIA Special Agent Declan Rule, another war has just begun. From the ruins of devastated US firebase Aries, Rule and his highly trained German Shepherd companion, Nero, journey deep into the humid, blood-soaked hell of Cambodia in search of a madman named Morneau. This man, a demented neurosurgeon bent on the creation of a hard-wired army of the weaponized, radio-controlled undead, has signed his own death warrant, surgically altering Rule's only son and aiming him like a human bullet at the allied lines. Through battle, torture, and blood, the man without mercy will face the man without conscience...and all the rules of war will be broken! Over Saigon, US Army Private Kuen Yam and his ragged band of survivors struggle to keep their grip on sanity and humanity as their wounded plane forces them back into the grip of the dead. And in New Jersey, USA, Joe and Faye Kuen take a boat ride down the river Styx, a journey that will bring them to the shadowed shores of mysterious Pitt Island...and into the realm of a psychotic killer who calls himself the ZODIAC. Continuing the sold-out, cult hit military/horror comics series, this fourth volume collects the entire third story arc set in the '68 universe, along with the hard-hitting one shot: '68 Hallowed Ground. The Vietnam/Zombie epic roars from the page, ripped from the minds of creators Mark Kidwell, Jeff Zornow, Jay Fotos, Kyle Charles and Nat Jones. Loaded with extra behind-the-scenes script pages, sketches, layouts and a full cover gallery, '68: Rule of War brings the horror with guns blazing!

Book Description
During May 1968, students and workers in France united in the biggest strike and the largest mass movement in French history. Protesting capitalism, American imperialism, and Gaullism, 9 million people from all walks of life, from shipbuilders to department store clerks, stopped working. The nation was paralyzed—no sector of the workplace was untouched. Yet, just thirty years later, the mainstream image of May '68 in France has become that of a mellow youth revolt, a cultural transformation stripped of its violence and profound sociopolitical implications. Kristin Ross shows how the current official memory of May '68 came to serve a political agenda antithetical to the movement's aspirations. She examines the roles played by sociologists, repentant ex-student leaders, and the mainstream media in giving what was a political event a predominantly cultural and ethical meaning. Recovering the political language of May '68 through the tracts, pamphlets, and documentary film footage of the era, Ross reveals how the original movement, concerned above all with the question of equality, gained a new and counterfeit history, one that erased police violence and the deaths of participants, removed workers from the picture, and eliminated all traces of anti-Americanism, anti-imperialism, and the influences of Algeria and Vietnam. May '68 and Its Afterlives is especially timely given the rise of a new mass political movement opposing global capitalism, from labor strikes and anti-McDonald's protests in France to the demonstrations against the World Trade Organization in Seattle.

Book Description
The greatest city in the world lies blanketed in ice and snow. There are no lights on Broadway, no taxis clogging the streets and the Empire State stands like a frozen tombstone blanketing a dead metropolis in its shadow. These are the Popsicle Fields...a labyrinth of New York streets littered with the frozen undead. This is 1970, two years since the rise of the cannibalistic dead. This is '68: LAST RITES, the climactic sixth volume in the epic, award-winning military/horror comics series that brings all branching storylines to a close. From the fortified Flatiron Building, where a band of survivors holds onto life with a white-knuckled grip, to the battle-torn streets of Chinatown where the stiffening dead rise from subways filled with starving rats, an island off the Jersey coast where living horrors feast on human flesh...to the steaming jungles of Vietnam, where a hero will fall only to spawn an army of masked avengers who find retribution in his legend and a battle cry in his name. Collected here for the first time, this volume includes all four issues of the series finale along with the hard-hitting one shot: JUNGLE JIM: GUTS 'N GLORY, with tons of extras including a cover gallery, script notes and behind the scenes extras available nowhere else! From writer MARK KIDWELL and artists JEFF ZORNOW and JAY FOTOS, '68: LAST RITES closes the curtain on the saga of the rise of the living dead in the age of Aquarius and unleashes a plague of the hungry dead on a generation of the lost!
