Ten #1 |
|

Written by Alan Moore
Art by Gene Ha
and Zander Cannon
Painted cover by Alex Ross |
Introducing the heroes and
heroines of Precinct 10—Earth's local branch of an inter-dimensional police
force—as they welcome a rookie member to their ranks. How will this new
heroine—code-named Toybox—fit into a tightly-knit group that includes heroes
in armor (one of them a talking dog), a scrap-metal robot (and its equally
ramshackle inventor) and more? |
|
| It’s the toughest precinct
in the world: the Tenth Precinct in Neopolis, the city where everyone is
a superhero! Okay, there are plenty of supervillains, too, but mostly the
cops of the Top Ten deal with superpowered domestic disputes, superpowered
runaways, superpowered retirees who want to end it all, and the odd robot
teenager with a gun or giant mutant prostitution racket. |
TOP TEN #1 Variant Cover
|
Officer Slinger’s first
day sees her gain the nickname Toybox, after the robot toys she carries
around, and get her partnered with Officer Smax, who doesn’t talk much,
like his job much, or leave much standing in his path. But he’s actually
pretty tame compared to Irma Geddon or the Wolfspider – good thing they’re
both on our side of the law! |

Ten #2 |
|
|
Written by Alan Moore
Art and Cover by Gene Ha
and Zander Canon |
It's the day after Toybox's
first day at the new job and things are routine, strictly routine. There's
a minor traffic accident — involving a blind cabbie — and the usual problems
with the gangs in South Green; Girl One turns out to be wearing less than
regulation uniform; and Kelmo Caesar gets punched out in the canteen. Shock-Headed
Peter shows mercy to a hooker and has cause to regret it, while Officer
Smax continues to relate to the underworld community in a way they can
appreciate – brute force and plenty of it. |
The threads of the old Libra
and Gograh cases are starting to come together with why Professor Gromolko
shot himself, but the detectives of Top Ten are too neck-deep in day-to-day
crime to see ‘em – yet. And Sgt. Caesar’s horrific secret is revealed to
Girl One!
Other than that, it's a
slow day at Precinct Ten. There's reportedly a body in an alley down
North Hockney way, but it's probably just some wino. Come on, keep it moving.
There's nothing to see here. |
