I really disagree with presenting the material this way. These B-stories were originally printed at the ends of each issue of the series and frequently tie into the plot of the A-story as flashbacks or interesting character moments. It makes way more sense to read them that way than it does to read them all together like this after the references to the main plot aren't as fresh.
Content-wise, there's a good variety here, although, of course, the quality is all over the map. It's especially interesting to see Salvador Larocca doing some reasonable art as I'd only previously seen his much-maligned Star Wars work.
