Customer review of: Top Ten (Book 1) Customer Rating: Summary: an Alan Moore smorgasbord Comment: The top Ten is set in a slightly futuristic world where everyone is a super-hero . . . . everyone has a particular power that makes the story almost too rich . . . . but the layered story-lines can be understood, in my case by re-reading the book. The prequel to this series (The Forty-niners) is better than the series itself. I recommend this title. Customer Rating: Summary: Just Great Writing... Hugely Enjoyable Comment: While Top Ten doesn't have the brilliance of 'From Hell', or the curiosity (I don't mean that in a bad way) of 'Promethea', it is just plain cracking good writing. I can understand why Moore prefers to stretch himself on other works, but he is so brilliant in 'Top Ten' - he doesn't make a step wrong. Every joke works, the stories are fantastic, but even greater is the way that Moore, Gene Ha and Zander Cannon plunge you into this engrossing and fascinating world. The characters are wonderful. In every little touch Alan Moore doesn't hold back, but gives from the heart liberally... which unfortunately is becoming a rarer thing for him these days. I can't say enough good things about it - it's easily the most fun reading experience I've ever had of any comic book ever. At my local comics store just the other day, I purchased 'Promethea' book 5 and 'League of Extraordinary Gentlemen' Vol. 2... and part of me wishes I had purchased this instead! The stories are easily as fun as 'League', and certainly more emotionally gripping. I have been spoiled and read both books through twice (borrowed from the Library), and I thought I was going for something more intellectually stimulating... so I hesitated. Stupid. Get this now. Customer Rating: Summary: A good Read Comment: BOOK ONE Review : It took me a while to get into this book. For the first two chapters I was less than impressed by what seemed a genereric superhero story but from chapter 3 onwards the interesting story lines and subplots really began to grab my attention. The characters are pretty strange but Moore develops them nicely as the book goes on and this really is a satisfying read. The artwork within the book is good although the quality of the paper could be better. There is a lot of things going on in the frames and it is worth a second read to pick out some of the funny things going on in the background. This book is definitely recommended for Moore fans. A lighter read than "The Watchmen" but none the worse for that. BOOK TWO Review: I really enjoyed book one and this book contined to impress. Moore does an excellent job of developing the characters from the first book and adds a few new ones to the mix. The most enjoyable of the new characters is officer Joe PI who is a robot with a sense of humor. Joe PI integrates very nicely with the old team and generates some good story lines and one liners. The plots in book two are as good if not better than the first collection. There are tons of things going on on every page (many of them you will miss on the first read) but the book never becomes a chore to read. Highly recommended but you must read book one first. Customer Rating: Summary: Funny spoof of the superhero genre Comment: This is an entertaining series, following the antics of a squad-room of big-city cops in a world populated entirely by super-powered beings. The Top Ten are the toughest of the tough, and they take on every kind of disturbance - domestic, extraterrestrial, whatever. The text and art are densely cluttered with inside jokes, stuff to make brainiac fanboys laugh themselves silly. Because it's all so farcical, the story arcs aren't terribly involving, but the book is really about the inside humor and oddball characters, and Alan Moore's fans will get a big kick out of this one. (ReadThatAgain book reviews) Customer Rating: Summary: Moore'sstillgotit Comment: What if the world was populated by superheroes. What would that be like? Well, you'd have to have superpowered cops. And here is where Moore takes off. He creates another phenomenal world, showing his abilities as a writer. Great stuff.
