Thinking more critically, you'll remember that many of the stories that take place within volume 1 do not exist in the Mirage continuity. Many of those stories were treated as if they never happened in later stories yet they still count as "Volume 1". Why? Mirage continuity or not, the book was titled "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles". The same logic applies to the Image & IDW series'.

What about Dreamwave? By your logic that would be Volume 5 not IDW.
