King Peacock, another wondrous sobriquet, is briefly in this issue on his way to another Precinct to follow up on a lead (which ends up being gladiatorial combat, though we don’t find that out until next ish.) While all that is going on, Lt. Indeed, the cops of Top Ten are famous enough that a vidja game has been made about their exploits… Just take a moment to bask in that one for a little bit… I’ll wait. The real fun of this series comes in the interactions of the unusual members of Top Ten’s roster, including artificial human Girl-One and her partner, who goes by the incredible nom de guerre of Irma Geddon.
Peregrine calls in the accident to headquarters, where her Captain is somewhat occupied by the matter of a murderous alien who is also a former member of Neopolis’ number one super-team. Worse still, it falls to Peregrine to deal with the other victims of the accident, neither of whom seems to realize how serious their injuries are… Normally, I might make a smart-aleck remark like “That must hurt”, but the art of Cannon & Ha make that panel seem like a particularly horrible way to go.
Making her way to the scene, Cathy discovers that things are worse than they seem, at least for a couple of commuters… Don’t be fooled by the superhero trappings, though, Peregrine is police through-and-through, and this particular morning begins with a radio report of a “jump bump”, a teleportation accident. Thus, the Neopolis PD 10th Precinct (known colloquially as Top Ten) employs superhumans of their own, including Lieutenant Cathy Colby, known as Peregrine. Previously in Top Ten: The city of Neopolis is a city of superhumans, where everyone from street toughs to soccer moms has powers. Your Major Spoilers (Retro) Review of Top Ten #8 awaits! It’s all in a days’ work for America’s Best Comics. Superhuman police officers, a teleportation accident and The Meaning Of Life.
