As for this series, you'll want to read at least the first few issues as they are parts of the Combiner Wars crossover. It's expected that these issues will turn up with wave 3 or wave 4 Combiner War deluxes.
Agree with all of this. Skipping the -ations is a shame, but understandable, but make sure you go back to everything pre AHM at some point!
