bpol's review against another edition
3.0
A pretty good book and the concept of super human police in a city where everyone is super human is certainly an interesting one. I thought it was a worthwhile read and definitely enjoyed it more that Vol. 1, but it's probably not a book I would read again.

This thing finished just as strong as it started. Stunning work, from start to finish. Entirely original, and it felt familiar. I can't believe how much I dug this for as much as I seemed detatched. There's no crime novel "what happens next." There's no "tune in next week." This almost read close to a memoir comic for how well it seizes a narrative of humdrum everyday life. But it isn't here, obviously, and what he does with the robot Joe character, as far as character development, is perfect. So good.

I really liked this. Like I said about the first book, I originally started reading this when it first came out. Things wrapped up in a satisfying way.

Top Ten is brilliant. Like with just about every Alan Moore comic it took me a bit to get into it, but when I picked up the second volume and started reading I found that I was still 'in' it, and I found myself engrossed by the story and endlessly amused but the many, many easter eggs hidden in this book. Absolutely loved it.

i've read a bunch of comics-spoofing-comics,
but the satire in Top 10 is definitely the best,
and it's not even so much the main story as it is
all the billboards and characters in the background.

One if my favorite graphic novels, I wish it was a tv series so it would go on and on. Good mystery stories, great characters you really care about, and unbelievable background details in the illustrations. The illustration details in vol 2 are even better than vol 1, and it's a real page turner as the storylines from part 1 come to a head.
Re-read in 2012.

QUICK PITCH: Law & Order: Superheroes.
VERDICT: You guys are going to think this is crazy, but Alan Moore has written a really great comic book.
Top Ten is a fantastic superhero comic from the post-Watchmen era. It's also a fantastic "cop show". Alan Moore perfectly mixes the funny and ridiculous with the dark and terrifying, and Gene Ha draws the whole thing with an attention to detail that's downright fanatical. It's amazing. You should read it.
This one's a true two-parter. Pair with [b:Top 10, Vol. 1|598638|Top 10, Vol. 1|Alan Moore|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1350404063s/598638.jpg|155658]. Also note that, like [b:Watchmen|472331|Watchmen|Alan Moore|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1327866860s/472331.jpg|4358649] and [b:V for Vendetta|5805|V for Vendetta|Alan Moore|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1343668985s/5805.jpg|392838], this comic takes a while to read. Don't worry, though. Like those books, it deserves your time.
