Well...yeah. The ongoing only references as far back as Displaced Aggression and technically something brought up in the Other Side pops up in the ongoing but you don't have to have read Other Side to understand it.

You're welcome!
I forgot to mention, in Volume 2 of the ongoing - the back up stories in #7 and #8 chronologically should be read before #9 and the back up in #10 takes place before #9. And in #11 and #12, the back ups are before #13. Yeah, it's fun to work it all out from a chronological standpoint.

Again thank you so much.

Yeah, I think Erik Burnham (writer of the Infestation mini, ongoing, TMNT mini etc.) noted a few times that Sanctum of Slime is at least a possible end point for the IDW continuity since the script writer of that game is Tom Waltz - editor of the GB comic. Plus they introduced one of the SOS stars as a child at the start of the ongoing comic and the mother of another at the end of Volume 2. Don't want to spoil you on who.
