About this Collection

This collection brings together the 2006 miniseries that continues the saga of Neopolis's finest, following the officers of Precinct 10 as they investigate a murder that leads them beyond the city's boundaries into uncharted territory. Written by Paul Di Filippo with art by Jerry Ordway, the story expands on the world created by Alan Moore and Gene Ha, blending superhero antics with gritty police procedural elements.

"A Screaming Comes Across the Sky" delivers a surreal, high-stakes chapter in Top 10: Beyond the Farthest Precinct, where a citywide possession by the Hell Ditch Pilgrim forces the police to confront not just an otherworldly threat, but the limits of authority itself. Written by Paul Di Filippo and brought to life with striking detail by Jerry Ordway—whose pencils and inks define the cover and interior—this 2006 issue blends cosmic dread with quiet, human moments, anchored by Robyn Slinger’s mysterious connection to the Toybox, a relic tied to ancient hope. The story closes as it began, with a picnic, but the world beneath the surface has irrevocably changed.

In a city on the brink, Jetman is abruptly ousted by a hardline mayor who declares him outdated, replacing him with the cold, mechanical Major Sean Cindercott. As the new regime imposes draconian rules on the precinct, the remaining officers—Peregrine, Smax, Dust Devil, and others—must navigate a world where heroism is now measured by efficiency, not ideals.
