here is the link to the correct product.

If you don't want to go through the monumental task of getting all of the comics, you can buy "Ultimate editions" of each series that has all of the comics from that story arc neatly packaged into one book. I went ahead and tracked them down on amazon for you.
Now, here's where it gets tricky. The Year of the Black Rainbow novel appears to be out of print, since I've only been able to locate ebook versions. The Good Apollo graphic novel is also incredibly hard to find, and if you do manage to find a copy you'll pay a pretty penny. That being said, it isn't even canon anymore so I wouldn't worry too much about it. I'm sure you can find pdf versions of both online though.
Finally, for The Afterman, check smoo's post. That has everything you need. Happy hunting, and welcome to the Fence!
Honestly, just in order of release! It's interesting to see the music journey they went on and how they got to where they are now. I wish I could be where you are now hearing all these things for the first time.
I can't really comment much on the story, but what I did was get a copy of the SSTB Book and a copy of the IKSSE:3 Book (keep in mind you might want to wait until this one is rereleased, like the SSTB Book was recently, hence why it's much cheaper). I just read those and got a subscription to the Good Apollo 1 comics which are currently being released. As far as the Afterman and YotBR books go, it's worth getting the physical copy of Afterman for the art alone, and there was a smaller CD version that has the book with it, and YotBR had a physical release... Buuut if you have a kindle it's worth getting the e version to save your wallet from becoming significantly lighter.
After you've listened to the albums, go onto YouTube and watch every live video you can find and then fall in love with Coheed all over again. Seriously. Delirium Trigger is a great song, but once you hear the live version, it becomes an amazing one. I highly recommend a good binge session for the Neverender live videos, and the Starland Ballroom videos are great, too.
Once you've become a bit more familiar with the music, watch this. It will blow your mind and catapult you further into the love of this band. It did with me, at least.

Second Stage Turbine Blade Ultimate Edition
In Keeping Secrets of Silent Earth: 3 Ultimate Edition
That's the closest thing to a 'compendium' as you'll find. Also, Claudio did releases a Good Apollo Graphic Novel around the release of GA1, but it's not nearly as in-depth as SSTB or IKS as it was written/drawn/published on a severely small budget. It's going to be re-released in the future true to the format we know, though.
Almost forgot YotBR, but you'll have to go searching beyond Amazon for that, as all of the physical releases are sold out and the only thing left available is the Kindle edition.
Happy reading :)
You're on the right track! You want to find the Year of the Black Rainbow novel which is available on Kindle. People occasionally sell the actual book online too, but it was only in limited print. You might be able to get a Kindle app on your computer, phone, or iOS device if you don't actually have a Kindle.
You'll also want the In Keeping Secrets of Silent Earth: 3 comics. That edition should cover all of them.
The Good Apollo graphic novel is going to be made defunct whenever Claudio starts releasing the new stuff he's been working on, but who knows how long that'll be. It's really rare and expensive, so I wouldn't recommend trying to get a hold of that.
Lastly, pick up the Afterman Deluxe Edition book. That's also a rare find, because it was in limited print, so if you can't find it, it has been transcribed by someone right here in /r/TheFence!
Yup, you found the first half! Here's Descension.
Oh, and the hardcover books on Amazon:
The Second Stage Turbine Blade: Ultimate Edition
In Keeping Secrets of Silent Earth 3: Ultimate Edition
And here's a trailer for the IKSoSE3 book on youtube :3.
I can't vouch for how good of a story the books are, but I got both and they look very cool. I just started SSTB a while ago, so I don't have much to judge yet.
Here's the Ultimate Editions of both Second Stage and In Keeping Secrets. Hope that helps!
I got it for about £50 but I've been regularly checking eBay for a decent price. I think the easiest one to get is 'In Keeping Secrets'. You can read most of the comics in PDF form online but it's nice to have the hard copy around.
I know this is a little pricey maybe so you could choose anything from my list if i win and I'll be really happy.
Well he's not exactly a "Superhero" but my favorite comic is JTHM(Johnny The Homicidal Maniac) and while he runs around killing people, there is a little boy in the story(Squee) that is constantly being neglected and abused by his parents and random strangers and Johnny saves him and kind of helps.. It's really an awesome comic...
Bonus: pics of Johnny and Squee tattoos I have.
Oh and this from my WL because I REALLY want The Armory War comics...

Here you go! This is the full IKSSE3 collection. I don't know if there are any e-book versions out there but this is what I used. It really is a great read, the artwork is amazing. SSTB is also available in the same format.

Now, that link only has the In Keeping Secrets series, the most recent set that came out last year. there is a HC collection set for release next May http://www.amazon.com/Amory-Wars-Keeping-Secrets-Ultimate/dp/1608861023/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1321749498&sr=8-5
The first series, Second Stage Turbine Blade cane be found in a similar HC http://www.amazon.com/Amory-Wars-Ultimate-Direct-Market/dp/B004RDFRYA/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1321749498&sr=8-7 or perhaps you might have luck tracking down the trade paperbacks.

And yes, Frank Miller is awesome, I have read Watchmen a few times over along with his Dark Knight returns
Were you happy with the Watchmen movie?
And were you disappointed when you hear there would be a Superman Vs Batman that WASN'T The Dark Knight Returns!?
Second Stage Turbine Blade comic.
In Keeping Secrets comic.
But my advice is don't read them. They are pretty bad and it's better to just listen to the albums and imagine what's going on yourself. I kind of wish I never read them.
