Y: The Last Man: Paper Dolls/Brian K. Vaughan

Y: The Last Man: Paper Dolls by Brian K. Vaughan (Y: The Last Man, vol 7); graphic novel, science fiction, dystopia; 144 pages

While trying to get to Tokyo, Yorick, Agent 355, and Dr. Mann inadvertently find themselves in Australia, Yorick's original destination. They may only be there for a day, but Yorick plans to use every minute to track down his girlfriend, Beth, who was studying abroad in Australia when the plague hit. This story (or rather, collection of stories, because the Australia plot only takes up part of the book) is more about character development: we get to see 355's history in flashbacks, Dr. Mann starts to open up to another character, and we even get to see a little personality from Ampersand, who's off on a journey of his own.
