Top Cow Universe
The Top Cow universe is full of realism and mysticism. It combines elements of science fiction (aliens, mutants, etc.) and supernatural (gods, magic, monsters, afterlife, etc.). Superheroes are generally enhanced humans from secret government or private entrepreneurial projects. The Catholic Church is a source of divine hypocrisy and human malevolence with both political and economic ambitions. Sara Pezzini's old precinct, the 18th, or "the One Eight" is in the roughest part of New York, where crime is rampant, and both the Mafia and the Yakuza are prominent forces.

Famous quotes containing the words top and/or universe:
““There is Lowell, who’s striving Parnassus to climb
With a whole bale of isms tied together with rhyme,
He might get on alone, spite of brambles and boulders,
But he can’t with that bundle he has on his shoulders,
The top of the hill he will ne’er come nigh reaching
Till he learns the distinction ‘twixt singing and preaching;”
—James Russell Lowell (1819–1891)
“There is no wider gulf in the universe than yawns between those on the hither and thither side of vital experience.”
—Rebecca West (1892–1983)
