Top 10: Beyond the Farthest Precinct #2
In "A New Broom Sweeps Mean," Jetman faces sudden dismissal as the city’s protector, replaced by the coldly efficient, half-robot Major Cindercott in a move that signals a drastic shift in leadership. As new, harsh rules descend on the precinct before Jetman’s departure is even known, the atmosphere grows tense—authority now feels less like protection and more like control. Written by Paul Di Filippo and brought to life with sharp detail by Jerry Ordway (pencils and inks) and Jeromy Cox (colors), this issue captures a pivotal moment in the Top 10 universe, with Todd Klein’s lettering and a striking cover by Ordway sealing the mood.

The belligerent mayor orders Jetman out immediately, saying that he's too old-fashioned for the age of terrorism, and insisting that iron leadership is needed. To that end he has appointed in Jetman's place the half-human, half-robot Major Cindercott, a veteran soldier. Before they even know that Jetman is gone, the officers are hit with draconic new regulations.
