So, I totally missed out on this series and now with, maybe, the same team poised to take over the reins I was wondering if it was worth tracking down to read.
Anyone read it and have opinions? Or is there something more recent the due has worked on with a sci-fi/team theme?

Not done yet? Hmm. I thought I had read someone mentioning it was over. Maybe they meant Waid/Kitson had finished working on it.
Anyway, I hope you are right about the trade. Especially since, as I understand it, the first two issues were originally published by someone other than DC.
[edit note]
Looks like the final issue, # 6, comes out on Caroline's birthday, New Year's Eve. At least that's the schedule DC shows.

I believe the first two issues published by the other company were collected in "Empire #0" published by DC. And I recall mention of a trade somewhere as well.
Empire is about a villain who has actually taken over the world and about the people with whom he surrounds himself. There are dirty secrets galore, everyone has something to hide.
I really, really like this series, and, in fact, the last issue, #5, managed to surprise me more than any comic in recent memory. I just sat there kind of stunned; the story went somewhere I really didn't expect it to go.

I'll add another recommendation for Empire. It's been well worth my time and money. I've read rumors that Waid & Kitson may do a sequel when their schedules coincide again (which may explain why issue # 5 felt, to me, like it was at least three issues from the end of the story ... don't know how much they're planning on cramming into #6 ).
I have the original Image/Gorilla issues, and was very happy when another publisher picked it up; if Kesel & Grummett's Section Zero can find a new home, I'll be ecstatic!
