Just wondering if it's worth checking out?

I've not read the new Comedian issue yet. But I enjoyed the Minutemen issue immensely. And the Silk Spectre issue was better than I thought, didn't know if it could hold my interest. The pirate stories at the end have yet to impress me yet but their a cool tag on.

The Minutemen one was good and the Silk Spectre one was awesome but the Comedian one wasn't that good.

I haven't read them still, i have read the trade for the original series and saw the movie, but i have a question: If someone doesn't know the original story, or only have watched the movie, can he/her understand this precuels? will they contain spoilers?, and if they will, so should they read first the Alan Moore series?

Good or not, I am not going to consider it canon. Just a story featuring the watchmen characters. The Minutemen was the best of them though. So far...
