Am I the only person that picked this up?

I thought it was awesome stuff. Origin of Flex Mentallo(I have the 4-ish mini, but this still had some surprises for me), the Pentagon story(which reminded me a lot of Morrison's work on the Invisibles) the Beard Hunter, the Sex Police(I guess a kind've "anti-Hand"), and the new Brotherhood of Dada(even weirder than the last).

Overall, some great stuff here. I like the strange "relationship" between Cliff and Crazy Jane, and I'm fascinated by the entity in Dorothy's subconscious. Definately worth your time.

I got the original issues, so I don't pick the up the Trades. How many issues it collects, because the origin of Flex is around issue 41, and the new Brotherhood of Dada story ends with issue 50 or thereabouts. How big is that trade?

I believe DC actually won the case, but decided (for a while at least) to stay away from using the character. There may be some kind of condition. I vaguely remember then saying something about being unable to show the character on a cover.

Hmmm... I guess I should decide whether I'd be willing to sell my copies of the Flex Mentallo miniseries on the gamble that they'sll bring out a TPB eventually

Well, they DO show him on the cover of the tpb...

and I'm not selling my Flex mini for anything.
