I might be late to this party, but just read a KQ article w/ Chris Pramas recommending it, and checked it out on Amazon. Looks right up my alley. The only thing that stopped me was some reviews that the (Chinese) binding job on at least the 1st TPB (Dark Horse) was so bad the book falls apart. I can't tolerate that kind of thing. Anyone own these TPB's and have good things to say about the quality of the binding?
I'm reasonably sure I'll like the story & art already ;-)
I got excited for a minute when I saw the HC versions for sale, but my German isn't good enough to make those keepers. :(

It was a great series (let down at the end, IMO, by the somewhat "Hollywood Blockbuster"-style resolution). The art style changes noticeably when the new artist starts for the 1st DH book, but the art style is still good throughout.
The TPBs I have, which I purchased from my FLCS, seem to have held up pretty well. I've lent them out to friends, and the books have always returned intact.

Thanks man.
I didn't quite understand your comment about the artist shift. Doesn't the 1st DH (Dark Horse) TPB just collect issues 0-5? Or is there a prequel series by another publisher??

My bad. The series was originally put out by Image (the first 18 issues, before moving to DH), but I forgot DH had the rights to reprint the TPBs from the Image issues.
