Does America's Best Comics count as a DU? Haven't seen anybody talking about it here.

As Drift rightly pointed out Top 10 is on the go, but now under Wildstorm.
Cliffhnager, Homage and ABC old titles are just now simply WIldstorm.

Im thinking until AM puts them to bed they remain WIldstorm.

Weird side question...does anyone know how DC/Wildstorm is able to continue Top 10 without Alan Moore's involvement? If he can take League of Extraordinary Gentlemen with him, why not Top 10?

I read Beyond the Farthest Precinct and was kind of 'meh' on it. Was Season Two any good?

I'm with Turborip on this. Beyond the farthest precinct was boring, and I haven't read season 2. Always felt like once Alan left and closed up Promethea and Tom Strong, that was it. I always felt like LOEG and Top Ten were kinda off in their own universes anyway.

I THINK on audio commentary track to the LXG movie the producer said somthing like DC/WS somehow bought the rights to all the ABC line except for LXG either because Moore refused to sell the rights to it or all the characters were in public domain or both.

Cliffhanger and Homage were merged to form the Wildstorm Signature Series.

Top Ten is still being put out through ABC.
