Y the Last Man: Book Three

The  third volume of Y the Last Man takes place entirely in California.  By this time two years have passed since the plague hit killing off all of the male mammals.  One of the best things about this volume clears up some plots while adding more chaos to story.  We find out who killed Agent 711, Yorick gets laid finally but who is Toyota working for?  Finally we get a chance to see what Beth has been up to in Australia if only for a brief couple of pages. 
Brian K. Vaughan has set up a couple of threads as to what caused this plague; at this point as the reader I am so invested in this that any of the reasons he's come up with would work for me.  There are two great surprises in this volume the first is that Yorick is no longer the last male human on earth.  The second is that Hero is back on the side of the side of her family but she seems to be carrying the scares of what she did during her time with the Amazons. By the end of this book you start to wonder if Yorick has fallen for a new girl in the captain of the ship they are on.
