The trick is to dangle a cigarrette in front of his face with one hand. With the other hand you have about 1.2265 seconds of back pat time. No rubbing/stroking/scratching. And god help you if you make any suddenm movements.

Hmmm... I just took a look at the comic proper.
While admittedly the idea of all men dying makes me as a member of the dangly-bit sex a little bit frightful... I'm likin' what I'm seeing so far.
I'll be reading on, and I just might bookmark as well

I mean, I came to this comic kinna late; only found out about it because I was on the Star Wars Fan Film board over at TFN, where Hansagan posted the Angels2200 prequel movie, and by that time the comic had gotten pretty far. It's possible the questions I have about their disease were answered outside the comic, but I wasn't around to hear 'em.
Like...how is the distinction made between males and females? Does the disease go after chromosomes, does it go after hormones, what? Would, say, a eunuch be spared if it went after hormones instead of chromosomes? Or is it simply having XY genetics that makes one die? (Come to think of it, if it's genetics and not hormones, I wonder how many cross-dressers and transsexuals were suddenly dead and outed by the plague! Hah!)
It seems at least ONE male survived on Earth--Whiskey's father--and certainly a male has survived on the colonies...what was the difference that caused such an immunity, I wonder...
...maybe I should start asking this in it own thread, neh?

What...you don't think that's a possibility? Seems to me that it'd come up at some point. Even if they weren't killed off, it makes you wonder what the reaction would be to that fact, yanno?

Actually I did ask resident Biologist Chaz if he could come up with some science behind the disease....I may try to reword it into our histories.
And post said histories at some point

I would like to live too..... here are some ideas.
Scenario One:
The disease target the y chromosome. This of course would effect anyone with a y chromosome including women with XXy http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Klinefelter's_syndrome but since it is in the future (year 2200?) there could be a technology to replace the y with an X so people who chose to change gender will be safe (it is a possibility) but this also could mean that the human race would not die off either since you could "create" male partners for pro-creation. The downside the disease will kill them off
How do they die? I haven't read the story so does it kill them instantly? airborne? contact?
Scenario two:
Instead of y chromosome, maybe it attack certain genetic sequence or hormones. Certain level could be deadly and cause them to die out. This of course, can kill some women off who may produce some level of those hormones (it is possible) same for genetic sequence (this is a pure guess on my part, I'm sure some of our forumite scientist can give a better scenario)

Well, who knows what form the plague took? Heck, for all we know it was actually a seeding of nanobots which would enter the body, seek out testicles, and turn sperm vicious. Carnivorous.
And nerd-boy on the enemy vessel at the end of the last chapter has the transmitter bracelet that sends the deactivation code which keeps him safe, perhaps.
Okay, okay, that's silly...but there'z no reason to assume that it was an actual virus or nuffin'. There are a lot of interesting things you could do with a nanobot plague.
For example, I once had this HORRIBLE idea for a movie: aliens decide to invade Earth, but rather than conquer it militarily, they seed Earth with nanobots which enter the human body and reorganize the physical structure of everybody in their sleep, so that when they wake up they find that they look EXACTLY...like William Shatner. The horror! The horror!
...I wuz gunna call it, Invasion of the Body Shatners.

Nanobot would be interesting. I guess than you could have an "angst" scientist who don't get any girl to make something like this to kill off his "competition"

All of that was off the top of my head. As Han commented above, there are some details that are a bit fuzzy that may need to be retconed in future, but that's the general gist of it. The Divided Souls fancomic that Vexus is writing will deal with the origin of the plague, so that's worth checking out as well.

It's been described as a "genetic plague" which I have always took to meaning that it attacked the Y chromosome. I don't think there was indication as to the transmission method, but it did spread through all of human space and did so very quickly. So quickly that 95% of the male population was dead before a cure was found. Death from the plague wasn't instantaneous but it was quick.I would like to live too..... here are some ideas.

Yea. I figure if a remote colony has no physical contact with the home planet could survive (if via virus or nanobots) now if it is magical, then it likely to be 100% unless some have protection from harmful magic
or psionic powers (like Q in Star Trek or that being in TNG where his will can kill off an entire race) then well..... we are screwed.
Chibibar
Without having been able to read ALL of the background yet, I think it may have to do with the fact that a space-faring race would be difficult to wipe out unless it was somehow nano-bot related to go off at a predisposed time. It would be nearly impossible to kill an entire gender even on a closed planet like Earth because of remote locations unless it was a persistent virus or effect.[/QUOTE]

All will be made clear(er) in the first 5 comics of the relaunch.
You have to remember, this comic was conceived by two guys with little to no knowledge of advanced biology and/or diseases. The plague was more of a kick off point to establish the female universe, I don't think we ever actually thought too hard about how it would work.
Until we opened the first forums that is, and you lot came along
