I bought the single issues of this book and continued till the end of the series; which a lot of times I don't. I usually buy a few issues then do the whole "wait till it's in a trade" thing.

I enjoyed the story, it was very DC Lobo-esque which isn't surprising considering it was written by Alan Grant and Keith Giffen-who co-created/wrote Lobo. I wouldn't mind seeing where this character goes...

The art of Rael Lyra (http://raellyra.blogspot.com/) is what first drew me to this series and kept me there. The style reminded me of Peter Chung's Aeon Flux but more solid in it's foundation. I will most certainly pick up anything in the future from this artist.

OK, to the trade. WHY!? Do publishers insist on changing the size of their trades. That is my biggest criticism of this trade, the unique size. Here is a note to all publishers...for god sake's pick a format and keep to it.
