    You would think it would be rather obvious but after reading Earth 2 #0 and Green Lantern #0 I realized that allusions could spoil things. I'd like to read Storm watch and Dial H because I have not read anything about them and I'd to check 'em out. Is it safe to read with out giving away something shocking? Also since we are on the topic do you think they (the series as a whole) worth reading?

    Well, I don't think it should be too hard to catch up with some of these series.

    Earth-2 and Dial H only have 3 issues (not counting the zero issues)

    I don't know how safe it is to start reading Stormwatch with issue 0, but I can tell you right away that Green Lantern 0 is a TERRIBLE jumping-on point. A good issue, but a godawful place to start. Both Stormwatch and GL have had 12 issues (and an annual for GL), not to mention their TPBs so it shouldn't be too hard to catch up with those either.

    I haven't read the zeros yet, but Dial H is probably my favorite series right now other than Batman, so I definitely recommend reading that.

    yea I agree with you about Green Lantern. Dial H I'm not too worried about because it would be easy (and cheap) to catch up. But Stormwatch would take alot more time and money, And honestly IDK if it would even be worh it because no one seems to ever talk about Stormwatch

    I'm with you there - I wanted to read Stormwatch 0 and Swamp Thing 0 but I don't want to do so if there will be spoilers in case I decide to pick up the series from the begining later on. And the fact that nobody ever talks about Stormwatch also adds to my reluctance.
