This concerns me, too. I can pick up (as can anyone) a random issue of Judge Dredd's Case Files. They have many volumes - I think the 30th is the most recent - and they are in chronological order. 2000 AD has "Programs" rather than issues. It's all simple, though. Pick up Volume 28 of his Case Files and it's marked Progs #1084-1110.
You know where you stand.
Forcing people to do "homework" is counterproductive. Look how easy the likes of ESSENTIAL MARVEL were to follow. Volume numbers and sequential issue numbers marked on the front. They couldn't do that now.
How many people might decide NOT to buy a volume because they find three trades with #1 at the beginning too confusing?
