By request of @TheDooge on Twitter, here is a complete list of individual Tick comics, not in exact chronological order, but at least something like a suggested reading order.
12. The Tick #12 (easy enough so far; this is the entirety of the Edlund series, from 1988-1993)
13. The Tick Pseudo-#13 (this is not a real #13. It’s by Marc Silvia and Mychailo Kazybrid, and is not considered canon; from 2000)
14. The Tick Karma Tornado #1
15. The Tick Karma Torndao #2
16. The Tick Karma Tornado #3
17. The Tick Karma Tornado #4
18. The Tick Karma Tornado #5
19. The Tick Karma Tornado #6
20. The Tick Karma Tornado #7
21. The Tick Karma Tornado #8
22. The Tick Karma Tornado #9 (this series started as a showcase for Chris McCulloch [aka Jackson Publick of Venture Bros], but he left after three issues to work on the Tick cartoon, I believe. It became a sort of anthology series for the last three issues. Part of the main series, but pseudo-canonical at best. From 1993-1995.)
24. The Tick Big Blue Destiny #1
25. The Tick Big Blue Destiny #2
26. The Tick Big Blue Destiny #3
27. The Tick Big Blue Destiny #4
28. The Tick Big Blue Destiny #5
31. The Tick Luny Bin #3 (These series–Tick’s Back through the Luny Bin trilogy–are the stories that pick up the canonical storyline of the series [though not directly addressing many of Edlund’s unfinished story threads. These are by Eli Stone [not the psychic lawyer]. From 1997-1998.)
32. The Tick’s Big Yule Log Special 1998 (pretty sure this actually came out Dec 97)

59. The Tick’s Big Yule Log Special 2001 (Dec 2000) (These holiday specials ran concurrently with the Sean Wang run on the series, more or less outlining their own continuing storyline with the Big Year 2000 Spectacle more or less picking up the main story thread from where Tick and Arthur Ended. The stories switched off between being written by Marc Silvia and Clay & Susan Griffith, with art by various artists.)
60. The Tick’s Incredible Internet Comic (A print version of a comic originally run online, the first full-color Tick comic. By Gabe Crate, from 2001.)
66. The Tick Color #6 (First full series in full color, of course. This series picks up the main story from the last Yule Log Special. Written by Marc Silvia with art by Marc Sandroni and Mychailo Kazybrid.)

97. The Tick New Series #7
98. The Tick New Series #8
99. The Tick Free Comic Book Day Special 2011
101. The Tick #101 (These are all by Les McClaine and me, Benito. In the tabulation of 100 issues in the back of issue 100, they don’t count the FCBD issue, but a) they accidentally double counted one of the Halloween specials and b) I do count the FCBD special, which fits in between the New Series and the 100 series.)
There’s also The Tick FCBD Special 2013, which is by Jeff McClelland and Duane Redhead. I would number it #102, but that’s where The Tick #102 goes whenever it comes out.
These are handbooks, in the style of Who’s Who or the Marvel Official Handbooks.
The Tick’s Giant Circus of the Mighty #1-3 (1992-1993)
The Tick Circus Maximus #1-4
The Tick Circus Update 2001 and 2003
Paul the Samurai Mini-Series #1-3
Paul the Samurai Ongoing #1-10
And, not counting reprints or collections, I'm pretty sure that’s everything.
And everything is available in one form or another at The Tick Catalog.
