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.

Famous quotes containing the words top and/or universe:
“In all her products, Nature only develops her simplest germs. One would say that it was no great stretch of invention to create birds. The hawk which now takes his flight over the top of the wood was at first, perchance, only a leaf which fluttered in its aisles. From rustling leaves she came in the course of ages to the loftier flight and clear carol of the bird.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“The universe is made of stories,
not of atoms.”
—Muriel Rukeyser (1913–1980)
