The Generations titles are reprints of old Marvel comics.

And they're out of order to boot. If you want reprints of the Marvel stuff, I say go for the Titan Books reprints. They are in order with very nice presentation and, I do believe, complete. I think there were somewhere between 15 and 20 books and they also did some of the UK comics in their original size, unlike IDW's UK reprints.

Maybe if you and Glyph PM'ed an administrator and got all your info stickied in this forum, containing info on where to start new comic collections, it would give people a good place to start.
Just a thought.

Not to pick on you (because I've heard this many times before), but how come when some people talk about the IDWverse main ongoing, they often don't include Stormbringer. They refer to it as a non-essential side-story. But it's numbered as part of the ongoing. Also, if people only bought the TPBs of Infiltration and Escalation, they would have Trade Volumes 1 & 3 and be wondering what the heck happened to Volume 2. But yeah, I was just wondering why people refer to it that way.
Personally, I would "try" to read the issues in the order in which they were published because (for me), it really added when one week a spotlight introduced an idea or character and then the next week its significance was expanded upon in the main book. But if you can't do that, I'd read Infiltration (TPB vol.1), Stormbringer (TPB vol.2), Spotlights TPB vol. 1, and then Escalation (TPB vol. 3). FYI, the Spotlight TPBs will have their own numbering system. I'd do this because the Spotlights introduce things that come into play during Escalation so I'd read those first.
