Top 10
Top 10 is a superhero comic book series published by the America's Best Comics imprint of DC comics. Written by Alan Moore and illustrated by Gene Ha and Zander Cannon, the series details the lives and work of the police force of Neopolis, a city in which everyone, from the police and criminals to civilians, children and even pets, has super-powers, colourful costumes and secret identities. Its deadpan tone allows it to range from farce and black humour to touching emotional scenes.
The series is noted for its meticulous attention to detail and dedication to the premise of millions of super-beings sharing a single city. For example, a caped street corner watch vendor seen in one panel uses a cardboard sign advertising "signal watches", and a hot dog vendor cooks his wares with heat vision. One plotline involves a boy-band called Sidekix whose hit single is called "Holy Broken Hearts". Likewise, all other advertising, signage and graffiti in the Top 10 universe contains references to the world of comic books and super powers, as does nearly every line of dialogue.
The story is littered with fantastic creatures and comic book references that add color to every situation, but the story at heart is still a cop tale, as the police track down murderers, drug runners, and gang bangers, and deal with their own demons. As bizarre as the citizens of the city may be, their basic human motivations, strengths, and weaknesses remain the same. The book also addresses a wide range of prejudices; monsters, robots, and fantasy creatures often face the bigotry faced by real-world human minorities. The series also addresses a range of sexual taboos, including homosexuality, pedophilia, bestiality, and human/robot, although it is never "adult" in content, and never depicts any acts more explicit than a kiss.
