There are some stories I will never have more of, and it breaks my heart.
I'm not talking about the stories I just wish there were more books for. Stories I greedily wish there were more of. More Buffy. More Narnia.
I'm talking of the stories that were cut off before their prime. Before their authors could bring them to a proper ending. I'm talking about the Chronicles of Amber. The Books of Magic. Firefly.
It's with regret that I add this comic to that list. These first two collections had such a strong start. Such good characters. Such cleverness. Such storytelling. There was no part of them that I didn't love.
But from what I understand, ABC comics, which was an Imprint of Wildstorm, was sold to DC. And Moore had grown to hate DC. So though Moore stayed around to give some of the stories a wrap, we'll never get to see these carried forward farther than this.
It breaks my heart a little.
That said, just these first two volumes are absolutely worth your time. And many of the stories and character arcs do see resolution.
Honestly, there are a few one liners in this comic that would make reading the whole thing worthwhile even if the entire rest of the book was nothing but blank paper. I read the second half of this volume laughing like a madman in a late-night restauraunt. I'm lucky people didn't call the cops on me.
Read it. Read it ten times.

I read this because Jan wrote to me, "While Watchmen tried to deconstruct the superhero genre, Top 10 and those other ABC comics try to reinvent it," and because he said it had one of his favorite dying scenes in comics. Also because Greg urged me and Raina liked it so much. . .
So this is an exuberant, creative, sort of hopeful-about-comics comic, reinventing, as Jan says. It is on the one hand a sort of police procedural (not that amazing a concept to me, but it's okay, why not, I say now) in a place where every single person has some kind of superpower, which is kind of a silly (or hilarious) extension of the constant superhero comics obsession with superpowers, but it does not take itself too seriously, it gives the team an opportunity to breathlessly create new ideas everywhere, there is in every panel crazy new ideas, references to other comics and contemporary culture. . .
It's also sometimes very funny, and then, once the world building is established, there are surprisingly touching things that happen. That dying scene, which I agree, works because you get to know and like the characters which is sort of remarkable to me given the crazy world. Or maybe it is because the world-building is so good; for instance, you get to care about a big Superman-like guy who is like all of us painfully vulnerable as he faces the decline of his father, who lives a long way away, which he tells his injured partner as he asks him to accompany him home. . . we get these touching moments in the middle of all this frenzied splashes of color and crazy characters and action.
I am still not a huge superhero guy (really, I'm not!! though I seem to be reading a hell of a lot of them these days, and especially this semester as I teach a class where half of the class and more seems to be superhero/manga geeks…), so maybe the buzz sometimes is infectious. . . If you like comics, and especially if you like Moore, this is a must read, this series (and if you like it, there are spinoffs). . .

More confident & sleek than Vol 1.
After spending considerable time with our 2-d friends the emotional investment finally pays off. (SPOILER!) Damn if you won't cry at the demise of one of our pals, eagerly anticipate the first day of another. Never a dull moment--this is the closest we got to a bonafide action soap opera in Superheroworld...

Whereas volume one of Top 10 establishes the world of Neopolis and the eponymous police department, volume two delivers a solid story with slick narration that can only come from writing geniuses like Alan Moore.
I am not venerating Alan Moore as a comics-god for he too has some share of bad creations but man, the way he tells the story in this five-issue volume is no less than amazing. The characters all have their parts, though not equally, but balanced. Top 10, with its sheer number of characters does not feel congested, far from it actually. It is a cohesive creation of police drama, humor, sleuthing and comic parodies/references.
The only sad thing about this is that Alan Moore never followed up the main series (besides spin-offes, a short-lived season two actually happened a couple of years after). The universe here is so rich that there are still innumerable interesting things readers are yet to experience.
Top 10, beyond its story, also touches on social themes sprinkled across its characters and world: LGBT, racism, pedophilia, and other pop culture elements surrounding the late 90s.
Watchmen may be a bleak representation of what the real world would be if superheroes exist, while Top 10 is a celebration of why we love superheroes. The diversity and richness of its world is worth visiting.

Yep, this is what happens when you start digging around your collection of (*koff*old*/koff*) comics.
Top 10 was probably my *most* favourite thing to come out from the ABC/Wildstorm imprint when it was around.
Written by Alan Moore and pencilled by Gene Ha/Zander Cannon. Such great writing and such great art to go with it (esp Gene Ha I love his art)!
Planning to do a re-read of these (I only have the original run in physical copies #1-#12, but now have my eye on the digital collected version also - can't keep taking my copies in and out of the plastic, maaan). Ah, such good books.

Much better than the first one.
After I finished reading this I thumbed back through it to look at the art again. A visual feast. I liked the storyline and the characters better than the first one. Joe was my favourite.

Issue 8 - Wow. That was so sad, but also so intelligently written. I think this issue is the best one so far...
Issue 9 - The alternate universe with Rome was awesome - as was the reference to Marvin the Martian, 300, Asterix, and the others. And oh God, the ending...
Issue 10 - Love it. Just love it. All of it.
Issue 11 - Wow, I saw so much in this one - Cartman, Futurama, Powerpuff Girls, etc. And I love Joe! I can't believe there's only one more issue left...
Issue12 - Nicely wrapped up. I was afraid that something bad would happen with Caesar - thank goodness nothing did! I think the Ultima plot was more interesting than the pedophile one, but it doesn't matter - it was all good.
Overall - I have to add this series to my top favourite comic books now. I loved seeing where everybody ended up by the end of the series, and I LOVED how Alan Moore and the artist worked with grief. I loved all of the characters. Such an interesting story that really parallels reality. Wonderful, just wonderful...

Fantastic ending to the first series. You get police corruption at it's highest level, the death of an officer and the breaking of a child slavery ring. All set in the bizarre SiFi/Superhero city of Necropolis. Well worth a read for the great story and art. Very recommended
April 29, 2025
Far superior to the first volume, perhaps because the world is slightly more familiar or perhaps because they explore the superhero aspect of it a bit more. Issue 8 is famously one of the greatest single issues of comics ever written. I'm not sure I'd put it at number one (like Wizard Magazine did) but it is a powerful issue. Issues 11-12 are just as potent and perhaps more timely than ever with the notion of hero-worship and broken corruptible characters. Somehow Moore is always prescient, visionary, and evergreen...perhaps that is more a problem with our world than praise of Moore. Either way, he has his finger on the pulse of the zeitgeist.
The book is insanely convoluted and the art is really well done but very busy and one cannot help but feel exhausted by the massive ensemble of characters, multiple police cases to follow, superhero powers to keep track of, and TONS of easter eggs hidden in otherwise mundane panels.

Moore hit the ball out of the park for the second volume of Top 10’s. After the disappointment of the first volume not reaching the full potential of Moore’s abilities, in the second volume he really starts to find his voice and is able to inject modern day conflicts into fantasy scenarios. Moore writes about discrimination and other issues well and merged them very well with the world that he built.
A high placed, VIP, secret pedophile group? That’s probably more relevant today than when Moore first wrote this. Epstein didn’t kill himself, by the way.
After all my gripes about the first volume, I was more than happy with the continuation and was disappointed to see that the series ended just as Moore was really getting into his groove.
There are a lot of amusing Easter eggs in this edition also.

One plot line ends in issue 10. Another wraps up in 12. If there is a problem with this book it’s that the issue 12 plot line is less fun.
That allows the book to have a nice long epilogue to
Some elements. But it also makes issue 11 feel like a true epilogue and 12 like an afterthought.

Comic über eine Polizeieinheit in einer Stadt voller Supermenschen, denkender Roboter, Zauberer etc. und was sie so im Lauf von ein paar Tagen alles klären. Unterhaltsam, mit vielen Anspielungen auf andere Comics.

This was an improvement on Vol. 1, if only because we're now familiar with the characters and more plot can take place.
I like this book in contrast to Watchmen. It's the positive, fun version of Watchmen while still dealing with some serious themes.

I should start by saying I love this series. I love the characters, I really like the police procedural stuff, the mysteries, the Easter eggs of beloved comic and cartoon stories that are on every page if not every panel of these books. Top 10 is Alan Moore at his absolute best, and that is saying a lot. Even with Neopolis' gritty exterior, these books have a tremendous sense of humor and optimism to them. They are about ordinary people (with super powers) doing things they regret. The heartbreaks and crimes, as well as all the laughs, operate on a very human scale. I feel like Toybox and Joe Pi are people I could actually meet, and that's not true for many super heroes. Like Morrison's "All Star Superman," and "Flex Mentallo" Top 10 is another Reconstructionist graphic novel, moving that extra step beyond postmodern Deconstruction to the point where it takes the scraps and builds something new with a sense of wonder and love inside of it. Very good stuff.
There is a problem with this second volume. I think the real climax of the story is with the defeat of the real villain:
***SPOILERS SPOILER SPOILERS***
Commissioner Ultima. Her plot works on so many levels, as the mystery of the super drugs concludes with the worst possible ending: a politically powerful super junkie literally capable of destroying Neopolis and ensuring that no one ever asks any questions. The final smackdown is particularly satisfying, as the hitherto unstoppable Smax meets his match against Ultima, and only little Toybox is able to save the day through smarts and stealth... and almost get killed in the process. Multiple plot teasers and prophecies are resolved in a big exciting climax. And then... the story keeps going, and nothing feels quite right afterwards.
Ultima's defeat is where the book should have ended. After that we have several false leads that might have gone somewhere if there had been more Top 10 books written by Moore. Why did Toybox meet the Rumor? What was the significance? How long will it be before Peter's anti-robot racism really gets him into trouble? We'll never know any of these things. But worse by far is that depressing final plot involving a Justice League impersonating pedophile ring, with a bunch of former superhero giants that go out with a whimper, not a bang. And as a result, the books ends by making me feel queasy and dissatisfied. Oh sure, thematically it works-- there's a lot going on at the end about romantic relationships that other people might not approve of-- a sentient dog and a sad lady, a gay couple that's been together for fifty years-- and what makes them different from the cruel exploitation of pedophilia. And I think Moore's answer-- love-- is correct. Even so, it feels like this story happens in a different and much sadder book. I was glad to put down Top 10 Volume 2 because I felt like if it had kept going it would have just gotten nastier and more depressing.
To me, superheroes are about a kind of ridiculous fun. Mostly, Top 10 is a wonderful match for that criteria, and I recommend it very highly. It's only perfect for about 75% of its stories, but that's a pretty lousy complaint, really. There's a lot here to love.

Loved this volume too of this city of super heroes and as usual there were nods to popular superheroes in the background - Captain America and Tarzan to name a few. The city of Necropolis fights the super powered villains with super powered police officers and its damn fun. In this volume we visit different earth where Roman rule never ended and another member of planet which has robots as its populace. Loved it wonderful story by Alan Moore the Boss.
I have always loved comics, and I hope that I will always love them. Even though I grew up reading local Indian comics like Raj Comics or Diamond Comics or even Manoj Comics, now's the time to catch up on the international and classic comics and Graphic novels. I am on my quest to read as many comics as I can. I Love comics to bit, may comics never leave my side. I loved reading this and love reading more, you should also read what you love and then just Keep on Reading.

The excellent sequel to Top 10, Vol. 1 by Alan Moore, Vol 2 follows the further adventures and investigations of the Top Ten Police Squad from Neopolis. I found this volume even better than the first. The characters are still interesting and unique and new members of the squad have been introduced. For a graphic novel, I found the characters well-developed personalities and very sympathetic. I liked the stories and the art work. Even though the situations involved super heroes and such, the crimes are familiar; drugs, sex crimes, etc, just as you see on every episode of Law & Order, but these had the added twist of taking place in a city peopled with superheroes and villains. Alan Moore is such a fantastic writer, one of the best you'll find in this genre.

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.

Got to read this immediately after finishing Volume 1. Alan Moore's genius really shines when he's writing a new member on the squad who has very little visual characterization, so his charisma is all in the dialog. Totally awesome.

No volume 2 já estamos acostumados com o ritmo de acontecimentos na delegacia, então não é surpresa nenhuma quando vemos diversas ocorrências simultâneas e uma mais non sense que a outra. Vale registrar as sátiras e as referências aos mega eventos Marvel e DC.
Faltou um pouco de interesse numa linha principal de roteiro mas a forma que as histórias se conectam uma na outra formando o cotidiano da delegacia acabam sendo a grande atração. Sem eventos grandiosos mas que acaba sendo bem grandioso.

The back half of Top Ten continues the greatness of the comic but also has some of the best issues in the whole series. The teleporter issue (#8) is a magnificent tragedy while the conclusion to the main detective arc (#10) is absolutely shocking. The Norse gods issue (#7) is pretty good too.
The last issue is a bit of a let-down. I think Moore was too enamored of really deconstructing superheroes and didn't realize that the issue just isn't that interesting. But I'm perfectly happy with the finale we got in issue #10, so it doesn't let doesn't matter as much as it could have.

(Read in 2013, review from 2024)
Similar to the first volume, this volume continues this interesting blending of Alan Moore’s usual grittiness with bright and colorful superhero content that celebrates the genre instead of deconstructing it. While it does veer into ultra mature and inappropriate parodies of popular superheroes (i.e., the Justice League stand-ins are a ring of child molesters), it feels less malicious than Garth Ennis’ The Boys and Moore’s writing is a lot better. Definitely appreciated checking it out when I found it in my college library.

The perfect wrap on this perfect series. Who knew you could make a book starring superheroes, that wasn't a superhero story.
Instead we get a police procedural drama in the vein of Law and Order or The Wire. A series injected with humor, suspense, and tons of heart.
Even though I'm completely satisfied with the way the book concludes, selfishly, I want more of this world and these characters that I've become attached to.

In the first couple of chapters of this volume, this series finally settled into a groove. We got some stories with heart and the episodic TV structure really paid off. I thought the wrap up was a little rushed, but hey, that's how it would probably work on a TV show as well. The journey is always more fun than when you find out what happened in the end.

I did enjoy the second volume of this series! Twists and turns, more character development, high stakes, and an interesting new world. A lot of fun art and action, along with plenty of social and superhero commentary made this a good read. The ending was fun, and the issue with the Great Game player (all I'll say to avoid spoilers) is a real gem.

Toto ma bavilo viac ako prvý diel. V pozadí príbehu sa na obrázkoch objavujú rôznorodý hrdinovia z iných svetov. Srandovný bol ružový Batman. Ináč príbeh je kriminálny s naoko nesúvisiacimi udalosťami. Tie sú ale prepletené a skoro všetko súvisí s hlavnou dejovou linkou.

A police procedural set in a city devoloped by mad scientists to house an ever expanding meta human /superhero population, written by Alan Moore and drawn by one of the most talented artists in the business. Yes thanks.
August 25, 2020
Another wonderful volume of this really fun world with characters you care about. Full of background visual references and fun mysteries solved within the volume, so there's no long, drawn out cliffhangers to try to sell comics. Just flat out engaging, unique storytelling.
May 27, 2021
Unlike others here, I seemed to have enjoyed Vol 1 more but there is still lots to like here. Moore was able to build a unique world and quickly give us characters that come alive with personality. The two volumes are definitely worth a read.
June 16, 2021
End of "season 1", but I'm not interested in reading Top 10 without Alan Moore, so I'm dropping it here. Great stuff though, some issues where better than others, but the relationship between Smax and Slinger carried the entire thing on its back so it's all good! Smax next 🙌🏻...

Creative!! Loved the reference to Asimov’s laws!
