Summary: Mandatory and necessary. Period.
Review: Here, in one loaded volume, are some of the best told stories of any kind, in the last year. Whether these stories were told in comics, film, novels or television, very few matched this level of excellence.
Seriously. The script/screenplay/text and the art/cinematography/visuals I would put up against any type of media this year, or the last.
This represents a great value, as you get quite a few issues in a handsome volume.
The now-famous "issue 36" should be mandatory reading for anyone with at least one eyeball. It could possibly be the single best artistic/creative response to September 11th seen yet. There are images in the story as haunting as any from the site itself.
This is a book you'd be proud to own. And if this happens to be your first dip into modern comics, I envy your upcoming experience.

Summary: Almost Perfect, but not quite...
Review: This book is good, but...some of the stories shouldn't be in it, and others that should be in it aren't. The JMS stories, which are critically acclaimed and heralded by fans are deserving, but it should also include Amazing Spider-Man # 37-39, just to finish out the storyline. The Jenkin's story, (The Big Score), was not the best thing Jenkin's had done, and should be replaced by his Mime silent issue. And the Ultimate DD/Punisher story arc was rather stupid, and should have been replaced by Jenkin's amazing Fusion story arc. However, the Coming Home story is nice, the Kingpin story spectacular, and the Flowers for Rhino story touching. If you'd rather go with the paperback additions, get ASM: Coming Home, PPSM: One small Break, ASM: Revelations, and SM's Tangled Web vol. 1.
