Graphic novel collection

I am just wondering about the reading order of a couple graphic novel collections.

1. Ed Brubaker Captain america's

2. Civil war - why is there so many versions, for each character?

3. The legendary star lord - guardians of the galaxy

4. The amazing spiderman JMS ultimate collection.

Also is there any books that are all in the same universe and have the same continuity? for example have thor 1 -3 cap 1-3 avengers 1 then thor 4 and cap 4. That all share stories and a timeline?

Forgive my comic book ignorance

Thank you.

1. idk about that but type it in because I know someone recently did a list of the reading order for Brubaker's run on cap

2. Civil war did have tie ins with a lot of solo books. You'd prob just want the main civil war tpb and then the cap civil war tpb. There is also a civil war omnibus I think if you wanna get everything related to it.

3. see 1

4. see 1
