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:
“In a famous Middletown study of Muncie, Indiana, in 1924, mothers were asked to rank the qualities they most desire in their children. At the top of the list were conformity and strict obedience. More than fifty years later, when the Middletown survey was replicated, mothers placed autonomy and independence first. The healthiest parenting probably promotes a balance of these qualities in children.”
—Richard Louv (20th century)
“Be not anxious to avoid poverty. In this way the wealth of the universe may be securely invested.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
