I had some questions about how Supergirl carried Robin in a previous issue of this series, but now we get a much clearer method thanks to Superman.
Also, a brief guide on how to pick up chicks in the Bottle City of Kandor.
Ignore that typo on the cover; the art is not by a 'Moore' but by Dan Mora. Between this and 'Once and Future', how does the guy maintain such high quality doing two monthly titles? This stuff is beautiful.

It's six issues of twentieth century alternate history - two issues in, it's the Soviet Union and Afghanistan and the United States and superpowers and super-technology.
It manages the scopes of geopolitics and the psyches of those involved in a wonderfully distant way - it lays those things bare without verbal or visual restraint, progressing through its beats at a constant speed.
There are moments that invite the reader to pause, but they're not lingered on - the subsequent progressions from those moments are natural continuations, but in a " clean break " way. This discreteness extends to the pacing of each issue's overall plot so far - they've read like sequences of smaller two-to-multi-page stories.
( They're good reads. )
