Top Ten
America's Best Comics. All written by Alan Moore and drawn by Gene Ha & Zander Cannon except where noted.
Top
Ten, Book 1 (1-7). [From DC Comics: The massive,
multilayered city of Neopolis, built shortly after World War II, was designed
as a home for the expanding population of science-heroes, heroines and villains
that had ballooned into existence in the previous decade. Bringing these
powered begins together solved some problems, but created others, especially
after the inevitable partnerships led to a surge in their number in the
1960s. By the 1980s, Neopolis had turned into a pressure cooker - underfinanced
and overpopulated - that normal policing methods could never hope to contain.
In 1985 the city accepted jurisdiction by a police force covering many alternate
Earths, headquartered on the world known as "Grand Central." Our
own outpost of this network, Precinct Ten (known affectionately as Top 10),
recruits its members from Neopolis and environs, working much like Earth's
other police precincts, with one major exception: like the citizens of the
city, the officers of Top 10 have the abilities needed to deal with Neopolis's
exotic denizens. Join rookie cop Robyn Slinger, alter ego "Toybox,"
as she hits the streets for the first time along with a colorful crew of
fellow officers, each having the required training to deal with science-villains
and super-crimes, as well as the common misdemeanors of city life. You'll
never look at powers, or police work, the same way again!] 
Top
Ten, Book 2 (8-12). [From DC Comics: Alan Moore
and Gene Ha's multi-Eisner Award-winning homage to police dramas and old
science-fiction tales concludes its groundbreaking run in TOP TEN BOOK TWO.
The officers of Precinct 10, Neopolis's finest, are keeping the peace in
a world where every last citizen has super-powers. The police force encounter
all manner of the super powered and the supernatural on a routine basis.
Prepare for the shocking conclusion of this truly unique storyline!]
Smax
(5-issue mini; Zander Cannon & Andrew Currie). [From
DC Comics: The unlikely partnership of police officers Jeff Smax, a
gigantic blue-skinned warrior with impressive powers known simply as Smax,
and Robyn Slinger, a naïve newby with a collection of clever crime-fighting
gadgets who has taken the name Toybox, faced a variety of bizarre and deadly
criminals on the urban streets of Neopolis, where every citizen has some
kind of power or talent, as members of Neopolis Police Department Division
10, known on the street as Top 10. Now Smax and Toybox, on leave from their
precinct duties, are about to face a new adventure on Smax's homeworld,
where he has been called back to attend the funeral of his uncle. Jeff Smax,
known there as Jaafs Maxson, has a long and complicated history that he
has been successfully avoiding in Neopolis, and to help him deal with it,
he asks Robyn to accompany him to his backwater world where science is unknown
and myth and magic are the order of the day. Before long, the partners are
swept deep into a dangerous quest that will take all their resources, and
the help of some new and old friends, to resolve an unfinished battle and
to put Jeff's haunting past to rest... but only if Robyn can find a way
to use her unique abilities!] Book of the Week 9/9/04
