2. Top 10
(Top 10 #1-12, America’s Best Comics)
Top 10 is my personal favorite thing Alan Moore has ever written.
Yes, there’s one story that I think is technically better (I wonder which one THAT could be) but I love every second of Top 10.
Top 10 is about Police Precinct 10, a precinct in a city where pretty much everyone is a super hero or villain. Officers like King Peacock, Slinger, and the ever-lovable Jeff Smax patrol the streets and deal with crime. The series is so inventive and bursting with creativity, it hurts to look at it. Galactipuss is one of the best visual gags I’ve ever seen in a comic book.
Also, the murder mystery at the Asgardian nightclub is incredibly creative and original and, you know, BRILLIANT IN EVERY WAY. And yes, I DID just say “murder mystery in an Asgardian nightclub.†If you can tell me that isn’t something you want to see, then you are a dirty liar.
Aside from the truly intelligent writing on display, Top 10 is also home to such a great cast of characters. Heck, Joe the robot and Shock-Headed Peter are two of my favorites, and Joe is only in two issues, while Peter is a legit racist.
There is nothing wrong or bad about Top 10. I love it so gosh-diddily-darn much it causes me pain. Read. It.
