Some of My Friends Read Comics 244 – Top Ten by Alan Moore, Pt. 2 + Thunderbolts #17

It’s only been about 10 years since we read the first 5 issues of Alan Moore and Gene Ha’s Top Ten, but now we’re finishing the full first season with issues 6 through 12.

As the precinct deals with criminals on multiple fronts, there’s one question on everyone’s lips: What’s Sergeant Dog Cop up to?

Then we move onto Thunderbolts #17, which had a sword fight, an exploding castle, and a dude who can control gravity.

It’s our 2016 Eisner Pre-Show Spectacular! As we gear up for the awards, we take a look at three past winners of the “Best Single Issue” award. Astro City #4 from 1996, Tom Strong #1 from 2000, and Hawkeye #11 from 2014.

We also read one of this year’s nominees, Silver Surfer #11, and we would have read them all but indie comics can be hard to find sometimes!

We talk about all four of these very different stories and decide if they were indeed worthy of the coveted Eisner award. And we don’t agree!

In the Criminal Justice System, the super-people gotta deal with two separate, yet equally important groups. The Top Ten precinct and their dog-boss who investigate the super-crimes and the shark-people who do a terrible job of trying to defend them. This is Alan Moore’s story.

DUN DUN.
