It'd be best to read after the first 2 arcs, where those characters are introduced.
Is the Stephen King backup in the regular trade?
By backup do you mean Skinner's origin story in the 1880s? Yeah, it's in there. It would be pretty bad if it wasn't, since that seems like a fairly sizable chunk of the story! And it's published the same way as it would be in a comic book, with each story alternating as opposed to each bit all at once. Stephen King also wrote a foreword for the trade, too.
In fact I'm fairly sure the only reason my college added it to their library was because Stephen King's name is on the cover. <_<"
