>Is this series good
FUCK no. It starts off good, but it's nothing more than a trap. By issue 50 it starts shitting the bed so hard, in such profound, unprecedented ways, that it hardly matters if it was ever good. You could practically write a college thesis on this comic's perpetual downward spiral.

Just when you think the comic hits rock bottom, it brings out the shovel and starts digging.

>or do you need to have seen the 2012 show
It's completely self-contained. If you want 2012 content, it had it's own line of comics that were okay for what they were.
