It's honestly pretty confusing at times. It can be a little frustrating, even as a regular reader. Their site can be somewhat helpful.
As an aside, for anyone not wanting to buy each individual story, check out Marvel Unlimited. It's like 8 bucks a month and it gives COMPLETE access to the Marvel comics vault. The only real limitation is that they are about 4-6 months behind current runs, but that's likely because they don't want to lose out on selling those issues individually. The desktop app is awful but the iPad, or Android tablet apps are awesome.
