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.

“She might have been old once and now, miraculously, young again—but with the memory of that other life intact. She seemed to know the world down there in the dark hall and beyond for what it was.

—Paule Marshall (b. 1929)
“In his comprehensive delight in all experience Dickens resembles Walt Whitman, but he was innocent of that nebulous transcendentalism that blurred Whitman’s universe into vast misty panoramas and left him, for all his huge democratic vistas, unable to tell a story or paint a single concrete human being.”
—Edgar Johnson (1912–1990)
