Apollo does a great job instilling the sense of history-making the Apollo 11 mission had, and taking you inside the psyches of the three astronauts in space. From the publicity copy on the cover I had expected more detail in terms of how the mission was put together and how it was also being run on the ground at NASA, but after the destruction of Apollo 1 early in the book there's a big gap until Apollo 11. Instead, the authors chose more to focus on the personal baggage of the three astronauts, even segueing into a trippy dream sequence where Michael Collins discusses his feelings about the mission with the "Spirit of America."

The flashbacks/flash forwards were sometimes a bit hard to follow, and it was really hard to tell apart the many similar-looking white guys, especially members of the large group of astronauts drinking after the fire on Apollo 1. The biography page with the images of the astronauts from the comics would've worked better up front to help as a reference.
