Top 10Top 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 every citizen has superpower. The comic has been described as the Justice League of America crossed with Hill Street Blues. 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 streetcorner watch vendor seen in one panel uses a cardboard sign advertising "signal watches." 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. In 2003, a spin-off series of Top 10 began, called Smax, following Toybox and the eponymous Smax -- an invulnerable, surly, blue-skinned giant -- to Smax's home dimension. (Written by Alan Moore and illustrated by Zander Cannon.) In 2005, a stand alone graphic novel entitled Top 10: The Forty Niners will be released, detailing the origins of Neopolis and the first officers of Top 10.
