In the realm of comic literature and specifically the fantasy genre, this really is the best trilogy of all trilogies. If you're a fan of deft characterization with high drama, sprawling epic plotlines, but also small intimate stories and relationships with a hefty dose of smart humour and slapstick amidst the dramatic LOTR-style battles, then I just can't recommend it enough.
I've been waiting over a decade for the story to end and while I'm waiting with anticipation, I also wish it would never end. The three sets of three trade paperbacks is almost complete with the 9th volume collecting the final issues should be out in the next two months. I can't believe it's going to be over soon.
