In the world of Y: The Last Man, every mammal with a Y chromosome mysteriously dies, except for hopeful magician Yorick Brown and his capuchin monkey Ampersand. Rather than revealing his survival to the world, Yorick is fearful of what the response to his appearance will bring with it, with the above clip for the new adaptation of the comic depicting the rumors of a man surviving the cataclysmic event, as some think it brings promise as others think his survival is an oversight by the universe, and someone should finish the job of his eradication. Check out the new teaser for Y: The Last Man above before it premieres on Monday, September 13th.
