They're doing excellent work, and maintaining the high standards set by original writer Alan Moore - and that's saying something! Read Full Review
There is one strange thing going on here, though, and I'm hoping we'll get some sort of update or clarification before too long. This was solicited as "Top 10 Season Two" #4 (of 4). The problem is, most storylines don't come even close to a conclusion here. So will there be a continuation around the corner, before too long?

A quick check of Wildstorm's publishing schedule shows a Top 10 special in the works, so hopefully more is to come... Either way, this issue almost captures the complete awesome that was the original series, and Top 10 - Season 2 #4 ranks an impressi Read Full Review
