Neopolis is a city in turmoil. A mysterious force has the populace in the icy grip of terror and the authorities are powerless to do anything about it. To make matters worse, the venerated Captain Traynor, AKA Jetman, has been unceremoniously replaced. Now the officers must band together, overcome their personal squabbles, and get their city back on track... before it all comes tumbling down on their heads...

Beyond the Farthest Precinct is the latest Top 10 graphic novel to feature the exploits of Alan Moore and Gene Ha's creations. It's been five years since we last visited the city of Neopolis, home to countless superheroes and villains. And a lot has changed for the police officers of Parallel Earth Number 10, aka Top Ten.

Join the new recruits, including bird-headed Curlew and Girl Fifty-Four, as they tackle new threats including a murderous super-sized catfish, and a brand-new, reality-warping robot drug; new brooms in charge, like iron-hearted war hero Captain Cindercott.

Jerry Ordway's artwork is amongst some of the finest currently on offer in the comic book medium, and beautifully compliments Paul Di Filippo's script.

Top 10 fans will love this, but to be honest those new to the series will need to do a little research to get the best out of this collection.
