If this was just a series about a superhuman police force investigating supernatural crimes in a world where everyone has powers of some kind, this would be a great book. In the hands of Alan Moore, who writes this with a passion an energy he gives to all his best projects, and Gene Ha, who finds a way to drop in more subtle references per panel than any artist I've ever seen, it's a classic for the ages.

This isn't so much a review as it is a list of reasons why I loved this book in the event I ever get retrograde amnesia and forget. With Top Ten, Alan Moore once again reminds us why he is quite possibly the greatest comic book writer, living or dead.
The multiple plots are engrossing, entertaining, and masterfully woven together. The writing is funny, sincere, and dramatic but never labored or hokey. Moore does a great job lampooning the convenions of typical comic book stories, s...more

Top Ten is outstanding. It's able to mix wry parody and sly cameos with actual interesting, well-balanced, memorable characters. The storyline is intricate and engaging, and the art and character design are phenomenal - how many superhero comics are there out there where a hero's body type and costume actually matches his or her powers?
Once again, I'm extremely disappointed that this series didn't go on longer.

Book 2 of Top 10 collects the second part of Alan Moore's incredible series. Most of the storylines that got ramped up in the first book are brought to one kind of conclusion or another. A few loose ends are left for some other time, but it's to be expected - not everything is going to get tidied up, right?

Fucking brilliant comic book --- a dense, layered skein of superheroes-meets-Hill Street Blues ... Neopolis is a city where EVERY resident is a superhero, and the local police, superheroes themselves, must deal with the resulting often utterly strange crimes that result.

More brilliant, surreal cop TV meets Crisis on Infinite Earths.
You have to read it numerous times just to pick out all the little cameos and in jokes in the art work.

Vol 2 might even be better than Vol 1. Highly recommended. It's a shame he stopped writing this series.

Mediocre story, but worth reading because of all the detail in the artwork.
