Excellent art from Steve Yeowell (as usual) and an intriguing, 'steam punk' story from Morrison. I think you can pick it up, collected, for about ?6.50, although it doesn't add much to the original series, other than a timeline from humorous Morrison. It's worth having the original covers as well, if just for the gold lame boarders and trimming on the first issue.
However, it's definitely worth reading since...

The Matrix rips it off disgracefully, and it has a much better ending than the empty headed, meaningless neo-christian posturing of the Wachowski brothers.
