An orderly question

I'd like to, but I don't realy follow the comics.

Today a friend of mine gave me the Strombringer TPB though.

I've been wanting to get them all, and I know there's a few differnt titles each leading into the other. Can someone tell me what they are and the order they go in so I can look into getting them and reading the TPBs all in a row.

Thanks.

There's also TPB's out for Evolutions: Hearts of Steel, The Animated Movie, Beast Wars: The Gathering, Beast Wars: The Ascending, their Target: 2006 reprint and the prequel and movie adaptations.

I have the Megatron Origin, and I liked it. Same with Spotlight 1, I wouldn't mind finding SL2.

But this StormBringer book, is it a stand alone, or if I read it will spoil another story?

I'm trying to avoid that. I read WW@ befor the first one, and I have to say I'm sorry that I did that.(especialy since i only read one issue of the first story.

Also, can anyone recommend a good online site to buy these as my local comic shops suck noodles!

Oh, sorry. Misunderstood your question.

Stormbringer is a standalone, yes, but it does have links to Infiltration (the message Prime recieves near the start was sent by Ironhide in the third issue of that series) and the Spotlights (how Bludgeon and co. revive Thunderwing was explored in the Soundwave Spotlight).

I got mine coming from Amazon....they are a quite a few dollars cheaper than IDW's online store, and they have copies of TPBs that IDW is out of....I have Infiltration, Escalation, Stormbringer and Megatron Origin on the way...They also had BOTH Spotlights on sale last I checked..Hell, they even had the War Within TPBs as well, but they were OBSCENELY expensive!
