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.

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

Book 2 was just as good as the first, I think. Are there any more Top Ten books out there, I wonder?

The same cast of characters comes to Book 2, most of whom are fairly likable. A main character is killed and many more injured in a duel with the Commissioner. Some odd little twists and one slightly weird/off "wrap up" of the super mice storyline.

All in all, good book.

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.
