In Chapter Four, the precinct captain, Jetman (who was "Jetlad" during World War II) must keep Gograh under control via conversation while his subordinates try to find a way to neutralize him. The son is basically human sized, but his dad is a Godzilla-esque giant lizard- except his better days are long behind him, and he's more of a careening drunk now. Probably because this is the issue where the dad of a lizard Top 10 has in custody turns up demanding the release of his son. I've just realized I should have got a scan of the Top 10 HQ, which is based on DC's Hall of Justice, which is of course based on Cincinnati's own Union Terminal. But when I hit Chapter Four (there are eight issues collected here), it started to click into place. There are also a lot of ongoing subplots: drug dealers, someone killing prostitutes, suspects committing suicide. Though there is a new-to-the-precinct viewpoint character, there are still a lot of characters to acclimate to in a pretty short span of time. Set in a city called Neopolis where everyone has a secret identity and a superpower, this book follows the cops that patrol the city. It took me a little bit to warm up to this book.
