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].

Don't worry, though. Like those books, it deserves your time.
