In addition to the two TPBs that collect the issues of Top 10, there was the Smax miniseries that just ended wherein Officers Singer and Smax take some leave to go to Smax's uncle's funeral, etc. It's pretty funny, but Moore really needs to learn more about nuclear fusion.
Anyway, Top 10 deals with the city of Neopolis -- a giant city built by captured Nazi super-scientists after the war, where all the world's superheros could live without endangering everyone else, more or less. Virtually everyone in the city has some kind of super power, or at least a magical object or power armor or is a robot or something. But relatively few of them are heroes, per se, instead they just go about their jobs -- unless they're superpowered homeless people. Top 10 is the police precinct that handles the city. Since interdimensional travel is known and readily available (it's like going to the airport) it turns out there are a whole slew of different Neopoli, and the police headquarters is actually in a different dimension (where the Roman Empire is still going strong -- and has a lot of classically-themed superheroes). There's not much in the way of saving the world -- instead we see the various officers just doing their job and busting some perps.
It'd be right up your alley, Bob. And probably be a clue to Doug as to what his world'll eventually be like as superpowers are expressed by more and more people.
But OTOH he could probably just buy a ticket for home straightaway, so it's not too dramatic.
