Moore or less?

I loved Alan Moore's Top Ten and Smax stories. This collection is very nearly as good. Di Filippo was a great choice to continue the characters, and the art is as complex and giggle-provoking as the first volumes (we think we got most of the comix references but we're still working on a few). Take note that this collection takes up after the standalone Smax story, so there has been total respect for the entirety of Moore's story arcs and continuity.


Great charcters. Pacing and plot... not so much.

As usual the Top 10 characters were great and the art was a lot of fun with all it's special "guest appearances" although they may have been a bit overdone. Unfortunately the story on this one was just ok it had a kind of deus ex machina ending and the pacing seemed off, like he ran out of the room and skipped to the end.

I'm not sure they needed to add new heroes to the mix either but at least they were fun.

reviews: page 1, 2



In Neopolis, a modern city populated exclusively of super beings, it takes a unique and powerful police force to protect and serve. The officers of Precinct 10, also known as Top Ten, encounter all manner of the super powered and the supernatural on a routine basis.

Science fiction author Paul Di Filippo teams with artist Jerry Ordway to continue the classic award-winning series of graphic novels created by Alan Moore and Gene Ha. This volume focuses on the future of Top Ten's top cops as they face dangers from both Inside and outside their ranks, as well as the introduction of some new and decidedly unique cops on the force.
