This series continues to impress. While the first story hardly has any of the main characters proper in it, it's an incredibly good one. Having read a lot of comics, I've seen a hell of a lot of "alternate reality" stories, but this is by far one of the best.
After that story, come the first non-Moore issues, about which I was initially trepidations. Well, they're still damn good. There may be a slight drop in quality, but it is so very slight that, if I hadn't read the credits and seen it was a different writer, I probably wouldn't have noticed. Both Peter Hogan (whom I've never heard of) and Geoff Johns (whose work wildly varies, in my opinion) turn in nice, touching, done-in-one type stories. Good stuff.
