I'm reading this only because I really enjoyed the movie adaptation featuring these characters, and I can be a completist sometimes. The art is really variable in this collection—some of the artists were great, some of them were, uh, not to my taste. In more than one story I couldn't tell if I was supposed to be looking at Nicky or Booker. With such a short amount of space for each writer to work in, it's not surprising that most of these stories tend not to have much to them. Most of them are at least okay, though, with the exception of one near the end featuring a group of orgiastic murderous nuns which was an unpleasant little burst of misogyny. Way too much Booker, not enough Joe or Noriko/Quynh. ( )
Greg Rucka and Leandro Fernández invite twenty-one other writers and artists to play with the toys in their Old Guard sandbox, and everyone does a pretty good job of it.
I think the better stories were in the front half of the book, but there were no awful ones. My only complaints might be that there is too much Booker and too little Nicky and Joe. And there is little effort to introduce the characters, so anyone who hasn't read the other two graphic novels or at least seen the movie will probably be pretty lost. ( )
I very much enjoyed this volume. It was nice to see the characters in the past and see some of their histories. My only complaint--besides the desire for more stories--is that many of the tales were solo stories. I would have liked more ensemble tales, and I don't think there was one tale where everybody was all together in the same place at the same time. ( )

This takes place between "Opening Fire" and "Force Multiplied," if you are the kind of person who cares about timelines.
