I had no idea these comics had even been released, but I was pleasantly surprised to find they existed given the fact that 24: Underground was such a good story. 24 Legacy was a bold move for the 24 franchise, it was the first season made without Keifer Sutherland reprising the role of Jack Bauer. In fact, this was a completely different approach to the 24 story, in the sense that the star involved didn't already work CTU or was really involved with that branch of government.
It seemed to me that the 24 Legacy series didn't really take off, which is kind of sad, because it was an excellent installment to the series and it would have been great to see more. Alas, it looks like my only "more" aspect will be these comic books.
"Rules of Engagement" is sort of like Eric Carter's "Nightfall". This series gives us insight and background into Carter's past with telling two different aspects of his life. I have to give praise to the writers because they've managed to make this story work very well with no confusion while switching between two themes rather regularly. Here we see Eric in his much younger years growing up on the streets with his brother and gives us further insight into the split the two brothers rather felt by the time the series aired. In addition, we get to see a bit of Eric's time with the Rangers, which kicked off the problems in the TV series.
In the usual 24 style, this was a very action packed and exciting series. The authors did a great job of keeping the action and suspense growing throughout the series and I'm glad I had all the issues in my possession instead of having to wait every month! So, if you enjoyed 24 Legacy, I would say this is fairly essential reading and I doubt you'll be disappointed.

This is a well-plotted story that provides good background and insight into the characters that feature in the series.
