So I picked up MTMTE Ongoing 1-4 and Issue 1 of Robots In Disguise Ongoing.
Firstly, I absolutely loved MTMTE. I haven't done much comic reading for about 4 years now and this has totally reignited my interest in them. RID was pretty good but I'll need to get the next couple of issues before I get into it.

I want to read through the back catalogue of this Universe but there's quite a few series to get through so I have a couple of questions, hopefully someone can help me out.

Are all of the IDW Generation 1 comics from the same continuity? TFwiki indicates that they are.

Also, for those that have done so, would it be better to read through in chronological order, or in publication order?

Thanks guys!
