I have a giant-size man thing call 555-3281

Top 10 (1999)
Chosen by me from my shelves, though a couple of friends mentioned it in response to the Y: The Last man review.

Cover Art by Alex Ross
A large love letter to shows like Hill Street Blues where the crimes can be interesting but the people policing them more-so.
It sort of functions like a police procedural version of Moore and O'Neill's League of Extraordinary Gentlemen full of in-jokes, pages packed with references but it's less cynical and misanthropic than that book can be.
Well observed and very funny, it probably stands as my favourite Alan Moore work who is ably partnered by Gene Ha and Zander Cannon.
