Crossgen comic, worth the time?

While I've been slowly working on acquiring a small comics collection, but with some difficulty right after I started.

I also find stupid little ways to reward my self in life and a number of those involve going to buy snacks at Dollar Tree, and on my trip for this weekend I saw some comics in 2 packs. Yes 2 comics for $1. I realize that these comics would most likely be garbage, but for $1 it is worth the risk.

The titles I came home with were two Crossgen titles Crux and Way of the Rat, I believe issue one for both. They also had a Daredevil issue and a third pack (the way the packages were laid out you could only tell what one was, they weren't back to back). Even with the trepidation over the title quality Crux isn't too bad. The other volume I haven't touched yet and I just flipped through a few pages on Crux.

I am just wondering is the story line worth investing into by getting the trade paperbacks? I know Crossgen went under, but the larger volumes appeared to be dirt cheap (making my purchase of .53 apiece very expensive looking) when I found them online. I know these might not be the most high end comics, but for that cheap the purchase wasn't a bad choice.

My question is does it become worth investing in the larger story line or does it just become garbage?
